When you look around - everything has a financial value for buying, selling, constructing more value, lending, leveraging, maintaining or servicing. How to couple this idea with present banking systems and applications and create something totally novel? How does the cloud play into this? Providing every customer a unique experience might seem difficult, but you can always leverage solutions created in past to achieve something that has not been done before. Recommendation engine is a the classic example of Machine Learning that almost everybody is familiar when browsing online stores or Netflix. Sentiment Analysis gives you the insight on how customers perceive certain topics, do they respond positively, neutrally or is the response negative? Also to consider: In addition to easy and fast data science, Azure is still the only cloud platform that has been approved to be secure by EU's data protection authorities. You can find premade data analytic models or ideas from the Azure ML Gallery: http://gallery.azureml.net/  Time Title 09:00 - 09:20 Welcome to the bootcamp 09:20 - 09:45 Introduction to Ultrahack and the challenges 09:45 - 10:00 Connect with Porvoo 10:00 - 10:15 Presenting the Nordea Universal Fintech challenge 10:15 - 11:30 Machine Learning - Recommendation engine and sentiment analysis 11:30 - 12:15 Lunch 12:15 - 14:00 Hands-on: Recomendation engine 14:00 - 15:30 Fast-start with your own project 15:30 - Event closing Slush Hacks Tour by Ultrahack and Junction in partnership with Microsoft is coming to Porvoo.

Some children have short visits and some longer visits to the hospital. Our goal is to make sure that each child spends only the necessary time at the hospital facilities and their stay is as enjoyable as possible. How does the cloud play into this? We carry various devices with us every day, like phones, smart watches and various gadgets. What if we could combine the data these devices collect with the data that the hospital has, to understand how the kid is behaving outside of the hospital? Our phones can track our movement; the Xbox One Kinect sensor is able to track the kids heart rate as they play the game or do the rehabilitation exercise. With the Azure Stream Analytics and Machine Learning you could collect data from various devices to one place and analyze that date to, for example, predict a seizure. Check out this Coding4Fun project to see how can you track heartrate with Kinect.

Eficode, Asiakastieto ja HP järjestävät 25.-26.9.2015 hackathonin, jossa tiimit haastetaan käsittelemään suuria tietomassoja. Tehtävä on yksinkertainen: luokaa jotakin uutta ja ennennäkemätöntä Asiakastiedon dataa sekä avoimia tietokantoja hyödyntämällä. Hackathoniin voi osallistua 2-4 hengen tiiminä tai yksin. Voit ilmoittaa yhdellä kertaa mukaan kaikki tiimin jäsenet. Mikäli olet vailla tiimikavereita, ilmoita itsestäsi tapahtuman Facebook-sivulla.  Lisätietoja tapahtumasta saat täältä.

All attendees should bring their own development machine, equipped with their preferred development environments and the appropriate Azure SDK downloadable from http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/ This technical training will focus on the Ultrahack Smoother E-commerce -challenge by Posti and the Azure Cloud Challenge by Microsoft, through which you can win additional 10 000€.  Develop an app to make everyday e-commerce logistics smoother with e.g. gamification, more effective operations and improved processes through usage of data. It can be an easier way to follow your parcels, handle return logistics - or ways to prevent returns in the first place. How does the cloud play into this challenge? What if we could do to Posti what Uber did to Taxis and make everyone the postman? What if your neighbor or a complete stranger could delivery your package? We could use Machine Learning to understand who is the most appropriate courier for you, based on location, distance, type of package, type of delivery method, reliability and other characteristics. Or maybe you need a cloud to store the data in and backend for your mobile app to track the delivery?
