List of hackathons in Sweden in 2018

Baltathon is a series of free hackathons taking place within the BatlicMuseums: Love IT!. Museums, touristic attractions, IT specialists and research institutions from Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Lithuania, ad Germany, cooperate in the project BalticMuseums: Love IT! in creating IT-enabled tools for natural and cultural heritage attractions in the South Baltic Region. The overall goal of the project is to create services for IT-supported tourism, and its basis is an exchange of the experiences between partners, visitors and users. As Baltathon participants you are tasked with creating an information tool – an application based on the gamification, which will contribute to the greater interest and involvement of tourists visiting cultural institutions in the Baltic States. Let’s #hack4balticmuseums! We invite students, programmers, designers, graphic designers, Internet experts and all the new technology freaks to take part in the competition! We provide full catering and attractive prizes for the best teams. JOIN US!  Everything will start from the warm-up. During this meeting (which will be organized twice, on 11th and 18th Sep) you have the chance to get familiar with the exhibitions, problems and challenges the Museum of Malmo faces, and to get to know each other better. It’s also time for you to look for partners in crime (in case you don’t have a team yet). From warm-up till the final day of hackathon you are asked to develop your idea and code. During final day on 25th September, you will get time to finalize your work, create a final presentation, talk to museum’s workers and IT experts from different companies. The final presentation will be presented to other teams, organizers and partners. Number of teams is limited to 10. Maximum number of contestants in one team is 5 people. REGISTRATION Registration for hackathon starts on 20th August 2018. Save the date in your calendar and visit our website: www.balticmuseums.info.  The project is part-financed by the European Regional Development Fund within the Interreg South Baltic Programme.

Theme:  Unsupervised learning This time we will delve into unsupervised learning. We are looking forward to learning about exciting generative models such as variational autoencoders and generative adversarial networks, but also about theories on how the  brain might implement unsupervised learning!
