Op het prachtige Slot Zuylen is de Cluedo hackathon, georganiseerd door Cmotions en The Analytics Lab, gewonnen door het team van DELA. In een spannende strijd om het voorspellen van de omstandigheden waaronder Dr. Blackbox om het leven is gebracht, bleven zij XS4ALL (tweede plaats) nipt voor. Tijdens de Cluedo hackathon moesten de tien deelnemende teams door middel van […]

Yes, it’s the most Easterful time of the year again. For some of us a sacred time, for others mainly an egg-eating period and some just enjoy the extra day of spare time. In case you have some time available for some good egg searching business, but no-one seems willing to hide them for you this year, […]

We introduce you to Willy, created by seven Data […]

In our previous post, we explained what happened when you put six data scientists in an apartment in Luik for the weekend. You’ll end up with a Virtual Assistant, which we named, Willy (we know the name doesn’t translate that well to English). Willy is able to understand us when we ask to schedule a […]

What do you get when you put six data scientists and a crate of beer in an apartment in Luik for the weekend? …a virtual voice assistant off course! We have something we call Project Friday. Every now and then we lock ourselves in a room for the friday afternoon, or for the whole weekend […]

For our third Meetup about putting Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) to practice, we were very happy to welcome Thomas Stalman and Peter van Lith. They had two quite different, but very interesting stories. And despite the beautiful weather and the national strike at the regional public transport, they had a full room of people to share […]

Sometimes they take a couple of hours, hours which I’m not going to spend just sitting and waiting. But regularly checking whether the training is done, is also […]
