Come to a hackathon, learn from academics about the latests papers in Computer Vision, NLP, Cloud Computing, Voice interfaces etc and build a cool project that solves real problem for real people!Quinn and Julien are friends and CTO's of London based start-ups who want to keep up with the latest research and projects in the field and make an impact in the world. The best way to do that...build, build, build!We find a venue, great speakers, great partners and hold a weekend of hacking together tech for good whilst learning the latests frameworks, algorithms and projects.
