H&M Group meetup with focus on NLP

H&M Group has graciously offered to host a meetup at their offices at Mäster Samuelsgatan 49. They will talk about how they work with AI at H&M and specifically about how to make use of images and text to predict upcoming fashion trends, which is something I really look forward to.

We have also received some really interesting proposals for academic talks. In efforts to try to have mix of both academic, technical and business-oriented talks, it would be great to have another more business or technically oriented talk. If you know someone interested in talking about this or something similar topic, please let me know ASAP. As you probably know, this is a great opportunity to network and recruit more data science people to your organization.
