I am doing my thesis (in the general area of video classification) as an electrical engineer in a Greek University and I am currently running some experiments that try to learn a video representation from local features (kernel codebook encoding) using an SVM variant and stochastic gradient descent.

I could use a couple of c4.8xlarge instances to run the experiments trying out learning parameters. I am currently "competing" for time in the lab's cluster so I end up running the experiments in whatever computer I find available.

Anyway, thanks for the opportunity, it is really generous of you.
