November 10, 2016 The SpaceNet Challenge: Chat with Experts – Live Event

This morning we held our live chat with the SpaceNet experts in preparation for the SpaceNet Challenge that begins on November 14th. In this challenge, Topcoder data scientists and algorithmists will be competing to create next-generation geospatial computer vision algorithms.

Topcoder’s own Jen Odess hosted this live chat, and even our members pitched in and asked questions that may help them—and you—in the upcoming challenge. To view the recording of this event, tune in by clicking “play” below!
