We’re extremely excited to announce the inaugural Applied Machine Learning Hackathon w/ Skafos.ai! We’re gathering together developers, data scientists, and ML-curious engineers to build machine learning-driven prototypes, compete for awesome prizes, and cultivate the applied machine learning (AML) community.
