Guest Event: NBG Race : NLP - Word Embeddings

Hello, Big Data enthusiasts!

We are excited to announce our event, in collaboration with the National Bank of Greece, to celebrate and discuss the first NBG Race in NLP: Word Embeddings (https://race.nbg.gr/).

During the event, you will have the opportunity to hear some of the most exciting solutions, share your thoughts or feedback, and get to know each other with beers and pizzas!

You will also be the first to know about the upcoming NBG Race competition on Language Modeling. As part of the next challenge, we are going to offer a unique dataset in the Greek language, and we would like to have your input on the setup so far.

Finally, we will give away two academically bulletproof books on machine learning, in an amusing and surprising competition!

Let's enrich our community, celebrate, learn, and have fun!

Looking forward to seeing you there!
