Announcing the First AI World Hackathon

-

Hackers get ready! Next month the AI World Conference & Expo will host its first hackathon on October 23-25 in Boston as part of AI World.

The AI Data Science Hackathon will bring together innovative data scientists and developers from across the ecosystem to solve real-world data challenges in applying artificial intelligence and machine learning. Working in teams, participants will build and improve on pipelines, datasets, tools, and other projects from fintech, insurance, healthcare, pharma, and more.

Participation is free, but space is limited, and interested teams and individuals are invited to apply as soon as possible.

Application is simple. Interested individuals or groups can briefly outline their project or area of interest via the online form and explain why it’s important to the community. Projects can be data sets, pipelines, applications, or algorithms which our diverse teams will work on throughout the hackathon with the goal of addressing real world data challenges in applying AI and machine learning.

Complete teams can register together under a Team Leader, or individuals or small groups can be joined with teams on site based on areas of interest, experience, and relevant skills. Hackathon mentors will be onsite to help groups plan their approach.

At the end of the Hackathon, teams will report on their progress and next steps to the whole community.

By AI Trends Staff     As the  US Navy  strives to get to a 355-ship fleet by 2034, part of a 30-year plan the Navy outlined in 2019, it is finding it economical to use underwater autonomous vehicles. They meet many of the requirements of larger submarines at a fraction of the cost.     For example, the Navy awarded Boeing a $43-million contract to build four Orca Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (XLUUVs) last year, described in a release from  USNI News .      Boeing based its winning Orca XLUUV design on its Echo Voyager unmanned diesel-electric submersible. The 51-foot-long submersible is launched from a pier and can operate autonomously while sailing up to 6,500 nautical miles without being connected to a manned mother ship, according to the Navy.   In military spending terms, the versatility of the Orca at the price is “fairly unheard of in military spending,” according to an account in  The National Interest . The nearest equivalent was cited as the Navy’s Littoral Com

Canada regulator seeks information from public on Rogers-Shaw deal

(Reuters) - A Canadian regulator on Tuesday asked for information from the public on telecom company Rogers Communications Inc's planned C$20 billion ($16 billion) purchase of Shaw Communications Inc to check for competition concerns. The deal announced in March to create Canada's second-largest cellular and cable operator has attracted regulatory scrutiny. The Competition Bureau said in August it obtained court orders to advance its review. The regulator on Tuesday asked market participants and Canadians to come forth with information that could assist the regulator's probe on whether the deal will reduce or prevent competition. The Competition Bureau said its review was ongoing and no conclusions have been made. ... Read More on Datafloq
