OpenML Hackathon (last call)

[Joaquin Vanschoren]

Open Machine Learning Hackathon @Eindhoven University of Technology, September 5-9, 2016

Website: http://openml2016dev.openml.org/

Are you a scientist using machine learning in your research? Are you sometimes frustrated by irreproducible results? Do you like to collaborate with other scientists online? Do you love to create tools that make it easier to analyse scientific data? If so, then you may want to register for the next Open Machine Learning Hackathon, 5-9 September 2016, at the Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands.

OpenML.org is a platform creating an open, online ecosystem for machine learning. It automatically organizes data sets, algorithms, and experiments into a coherent whole, connected to the people who created them, so that scientists can easily build on prior work and collaborate in real time online.

This edition will be focusing on machine learning researchers building (or using) open source tools. In a week-long hackathon, you learn more about OpenML, and work in small teams for many hours and days at a time to create something great that pushes the scientific community (and your own research) forward. Just bring your own laptop, and possibly your own data and/or machine learning software.

The hackathon is free to attend, and drinks and snacks will be provided. Please register on the website *before 31 August*, and indicate what you would like to work on. Specific coding sprints will be organized for popular topics.

Hope to see you in Eindhoven,

Joaquin Vanschoren, Bernd Bischl, Lars Kotthoff, Jan van Rijn
