The open cultural data hackathon brings people with different backgrounds together for three days at the Swiss National Museum in Zurich (Landesmuseum Zürich), where they are invited to interact around specific topics, share experiences, and develop concepts and software prototypes. Typical participants include software programmers, researchers, data providers, designers, artists, and other people interested in open cultural data. On Sunday, the projects will be presented to the public and a jury will select the best ones for different categories. Further information about the programme and the open datasets made available for the hackathon can be found at the hackathon website: http://make.opendata.ch/wiki/event:2018-10 The Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon 2018 is part of the campaign #Kulturerbe2018.

With the increasing number of available data sets, Data Science has influenced a broad range of fields including economics, science and society. Organisations use Data Science methods for decision-making, data-driven journalism is becoming popular in mass media, and new empirical scientific disciplines have emerged thanks to the application of Data Science methods. In order to be able to find meaning in these large amounts of data, artificial intelligence is needed to search, filter and mine the data.  But humans are still a key resource to audit and enhance the algorithmic output of machines. Crowdsourcing is a technique to involve humans in the loop, that has proven to be successful in academia and industry.  The goal of the hackathon "Crowdsourcing Data Analysis" is to encourage participants to implement data analysis on open data that we will provide, and to implement tools that facilitate new workflows of crowdsourced data analysis. Please find here more informationen on the Hackathon. Requirements: Coding skills, some data knowledge or graphic skills are very welcome. Please bring your own laptop. The event will take place in Englisch/German. Participation to this event is limited to 50. If you have registered and you will not be able to take part, please cancel your participation. This will allow others to take part.
