The hackathon is open to all students from all backgrounds and aims to help them:<br class=""><span class="x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>• learn about machine learning<br class=""><span class="x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>• develop their teamworking skills<br class=""><span class="x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>• develop entrepreneurial skills<br class=""><span class="x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>• improve their presentation skills.<br class=""><br class="">**No prior experience in Machine Learning is required** - but having some basic coding skills and some understanding of statistics will definitely give you a head start. Over the span of two weeks, you and your team will apply Machine Learning to solve a problem of your choice. We’ll start with “Machine Learning 101,” a short primer on the technology, what it’s good for (and not good for), and how to use it. Then you’ll pick a problem to solve and jump in!<br class=""><br class="">Register to attend the briefing event (6th Nov) here: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/machine-learning-hackathon-briefing-session-tickets-79014266799" class="">https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/machine-learning-hackathon-briefing-session-tickets-79014266799</a><br class=""><br class=""><br class="">Structure of the Competition <br class="">-------------------------------------<br class=""><span class="x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>• Projects should be done in teams of four or five.<br class=""><span class="x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>• You’re encouraged to choose your own problem and dataset(s) – think broadly and pursue your interests.
