The idea of the hackathon is to help people learn about existing technologies and work together in teams towards solving problems that matter in work, home and community life. This year’s hack This year’s hackathon runs across 10 to 15 cities around the world. Remote entries are also allowed, which means participants may also hack from the comfort of their own home. Teams can already look up the sponsored technologies in telecommunications that will be used during the global TADHack 2019 and think about which to use. KPN and KPN partners' APIs will also be available in the Netherlands. Our partner VoIP Innovations, for instance, will sponsor voice and webRTC technologies. The best hack will win a cash prize of $ 34.000! The best team of Rotterdam will be rewarded credits for at the API Store as well. Past hack inspiration Hacks in previous years included many interesting sponsor technologies such as programmable telecoms (voice, video, messaging), internet of things, cloud computing, robotics, machine learning, speech and face recognition, mobile payments, enterprise communications, decentralized web, blockchain, encryption and open source. In 2015, a dancing robot was among the many exciting developments made with existing technologies. Check out websites of previous hacks from 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014, or watch the 5 year TADHack anniversary movie. Join the hack You are very welcome to join us in Rotterdam for the weekend.

Realdolmen organiseert in oktober 2019 de Warmste Hackathon. Na een succesvolle eerste editie, de R-IoT games https://www.realdolmen.com/nl/blog/internet-of-things-bewijst-maatschappelijke-waarde-tijdens-r-iot-games, willen we met jullie hulp het nog grootser aanpakken! Er wordt op verschillende locaties 24 uur lang gestreden voor de eer, mooie prijzen, goede karma én geld voor jullie zelf gekozen goede doel. Heb jij een uitmuntend idee en bovendien de juiste skills om een prototype te bouwen of een geniaal concept uit te denken? Ga dan de uitdaging aan en schrijf je samen met je team in voor de Warmste Hackathon! DE OPDRACHT “Maak van onze maatschappij een betere plek.” Gemakkelijker gezegd dan gedaan. Je mag dit heel breed zien, zolang er maar een bepaalde groep binnen onze maatschappij beter van wordt. Zie je bepaalde problemen bij jongeren, ouderen, VZW's, of misschien wel bij dieren? Of zie je eerder manieren om bepaalde processen veel eenvoudiger of sneller te maken? Denk outside the box, zolang de maatschappij er maar op een bepaalde manier z’n voordeel uit haalt. DE PLANNING DE HACKATHON De ingeschreven teams worden uitgenodigd in ons Realdolmen kantoor te Kontich, Gent en Odisee Brussel om in 24 uur hun idee uit te werken. De Hackathon zal van start gaan op 11 oktober 2019 om 18:00 en duurt tot 12 oktober, 22:00 uur. Wij voorzien gedurende 24uur verschillende coaches, een heleboel fun events en eten en drinken voor een klein leger wereldverbeteraars. Het volk en een jury kiezen uiteindelijk de terechte winnaars! NIET ZOMAAR EEN HACKATHON De verschillende teams zullen tijdens de hele Hackathon strijden tegen elkaar. Op verschillende manieren kunnen jullie credits verdienen door op een tactische manier de juiste competenties in te zetten. Daarnaast zal er tijdens de Hackathon ook een Social Voting systeem worden opengezet waarbij jullie ook geld gaan inzamelen voor het goede doel. De 10 ploegen met de meeste credits zullen uiteindelijk naar de finale gaan en hun idee/concept voorleggen aan het Realdolmen Management Comité dat ook Credits zal uitdelen. De ploegen die de meeste credits binnenhalen vallen in de prijzen. Meer informatie & wedstrijdregelement beschikbaar op https://warmstehackathon.be/ ** Op het evenement wordt beeldmateriaal gemaakt, Video en Foto. Deelnemen aan de wedstrijd geeft ons toestemming om dit beeldmateriaal te gebruiken. Indien u toch niet wenst in beeld te komen, gelieve dit aan te geven aan de start van het evenement.

Spine AI: detecting scoliosis in ordinary pictures using machine learning and image processing Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine that develops during growth. This abnormality occurs in 1-3% of the children and worsens in 0.3 to 0.5% of all children so eventually an operation is necessary. This operation in children is necessary because these severe scolioses can continue to increase in later life, cause lung problems and can seriously affect the quality of life. On the other hand, smaller scoliosis usually remains stable in the rest of life. Because scoliosis has the greatest risk of becoming more severe during the growth spurt, further curvature can be prevented in children with brace treatment. That is why it is very important to discover scoliosis early. In the past, screening for scoliosis was part of the standard youth health care. The costs of this screening were estimated at about 3.5 million euros per year in the Netherlands in 2002. Because the screening for scoliosis turned out to be insufficiently effective, it has now been abolished in many countries, including the Netherlands. For Youth health care (JGZ) institutions in the Netherlands, screening is no longer mandatory and is no longer part of standard care. That is why scoliosis must now be noticed by parents. The outward characteristics of scoliosis become increasingly clear as the severity of the curvature increases. To be able to discover a mild curve, someone must be trained. Parents, however, are not trained in recognizing scoliosis. Therefore, our goal is to improve the feasibility of developing an app for the mobile phone or tablet to support both caregivers and parents in discovering mild scoliosis. In this hackathon, we will focus on detecting scoliosis in an anonymized set of ~400 pictures taken at OLVG of patients against a uniformly-colored background. The set was anonymized by extracting only the image gradients and foreground/background color distributions; the original imagery remains at OLVG. The gradient and color features may serve as rudimentary input to machine learning algorithms.  A set of challenges will be formulated, with varying difficulty levels. Also, there will be challenges, solving certain subtasks, that may not involve image processing but only analysis and modeling of structured data.

Data-driven Enzyme Design Enzymes are natural molecular machines that can perform the amazing feat of enabling and accelerating chemical reactions without themselves being consumed in the process. All living organisms on Earth depend on enzymes to process nutrients, to grow and to reproduce. Thanks to the development of modern biotechnology, enzymes can also be produced in large quantities and employed to speed up all kinds of industrially important reactions, ranging from stain removal by detergents to production of food, feed, and biomaterials. As our requirements for lower resource use get more demanding, we continuously need to improve our enzymes to make them more stable and effective. At DuPont Industrial Biosciences, we routinely screen thousands of enzymes to obtain models of the relationship between the sequence of amino acid residues that make up the enzyme, its 3D structure, and the observed performance.  In this hackathon, we will provide representative data for our challenge, describe the problem and discuss different approaches of how to employ techniques like deep learning to support enzyme optimization process. Join and help us design the enzymes of tomorrow!
