The first WBA hackathon was held in September 2015, organized by the Future Leaders of WBA and WBAI, where seven teams mainly consisting of students participated. Each team set its own task to build “combined machine learning architecture” and worked on it while staying at a university campus for five days.
Hackathons are held as our educational enterprise, where participants can ameliorate their knowledge and skills and build a social network among students/researchers in computational neuro-science and machine learning.
