We launched an African NLP dataset challenge over at Artificial Intelligence for Development. Why? Because the African NLP ecosystem is 🔥🔥and we want to see what happens when we add some fuel to the flame. It's hosted on Zindi and there's USD 1000 up for grabs each month for the next 5 months.

Welcome @DataScienceNIG 2019! Amazing showing from the next generation of data scientists in Nigeria. Congratulations to the top finishers! Zindi

And #senegal also representing this weekend with an awesome hackathon from GalsenAI on Zindi! Congratulations to the winners!!!!

Are you Involved in #datascience? What environment do you use to build algorithms? MLaaS Platforms, Notebooks, IDEs? Take the @DevEconomics survey, tell us about your stack and win prizes! Give African developers a voice!

We are approaching 10,000 users on Zindi! We want to celebrate by giving our 9250th, 9500th, 9750th and 10,000th sign-up a Machine Learning course valued at $140USD! Plus, we'll give another course to each of the Zindians that recommended them.

We are running #COVIDー19 #MachineLearning #DataScience hackathons every weekend in April and May. This week- measuring air pollution levels in cities that dont have sensors on the ground! Ai Kenya @PulseLabKampala Shel 🇰🇪 🇮🇪 CapeTownMachineLearning R-Ladies Cape Town @DataScienceNIG

Looking forward to to sharing Zindi experience building #MachineLearning #DataScience communities in #Africa to solve global challenges. Join us next week!

The world faces critical issues and brave socially founders have dedicated their lives to the solution. Find out how the Microsoft Social Entrepreneurship Program is helping founders scale for the greater good at #MSBuild. Join Shaloo Garg and Celina at msft.it/6011T925f

#ZindiWeekendz is now live! Use SANSA’s high-resolution satellite imagery to develop a machine learning model to identify whether an image of an area in South Africa contains informal settlements. All participants will use Amazon Web Services virtual machines (VMs) to access the data.

The UmojaHack Country series is just around the corner and we are super excited! Three hackathons will be taking place all on one day in Senegal, Ghana and Rwanda, and here is the challenge!

We are crunching away and building models💻 at the #UmojaHackRwanda hackathon. All the best to the participants! #Machinelearning #DataScience

Here is the next installment of our UmojaHack Country Series! #UmojaHackSouthAfrica will take place on 25 July! A warm thank you goes to R-Ladies Cape Town and CapeTownMachineLearning for their partnership and support of this virtual hackathon! 😀👌 Apply Now👉zcu.io/3rhx
