Vienna Kaggle Coding Session @ Google

Hi Kagglers,

I am thrilled to announce that the next Kaggle Coding Session will be hosted at the Google office in Vienna. Special thanks to Helmuth from GDG and Beate from Google to make this happen!

We will work on the Carvana Image Masking (https://www.kaggle.com/c/carvana-image-masking-challenge) competition, an image segmentation challenge - which is perfect to play aroud with U-Net (https://github.com/jakeret/tf_unet) and other Deep Learning architectures.

This is a hands-on session, so please make sure you bring your laptop and all your questions about the competition, data mining and machine learning to the Coding Session!

I strongly recommend you to sign up for a free Google Cloud account (https://cloud.google.com/free/) (requires a credit card) beforehand, which gives you 300$ credits for playing around with GPUs and other cool stuff on Google Cloud.

We will offer ready-to-run Jupyter notebooks for this competition to get you started smoothly. Hence, if you create your Google Cloud account now you wont have any troubles getting started during the competition.

I am excited to see you all there!

Best,
Christoph
