List of hackathons in Kungsangen, Sweden in 2018

Master students at Sweden's KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Kista! You're invited to participate in the Huawei Deep Learning Experience. During this 24-hour event, you'll get to create an innovative machine learning solution that can generalize and compress unlabeled information. You'll have access to over 100,000 unlabeled data and compete against all other teams to extract the most useful information. Three best teams win a trip to China and a possible internship.

The goal will be to process more than 100k unlabeled data and propose an algorithm able to generalize and compress unlabeled information. Will you be able to extract the most useful information from this data? You’ll be given access to datasets, Google cloud infrastructure, and mentoring will be provided by Huawei’s experts. The top three winners get a free trip to China! Plus a possible internship with HUAWEI!
