Virtual – September 18-19, 2021
The AllenNLP team is putting on a virtual hackathon that will take place September 18 (10 AM PDT) - September 19 (3 PM PDT). This hackathon is committed to supporting marginalized communities in NLP. We will have numerous opportunities for beginners and advanced individuals alike to receive mentoring, attend workshops, and collaborate with others on a natural language processing (NLP) project. You do not have to be available the entire weekend to attend.
Registration is closed.
