Week review

This week we had the [CAREER] Belsimpel: First Year Coding Challenge which was a smashing succes! We had a lot of first years showing up for the challenge and the coding exercises were fun!

Festimap is a brand new startup from Groningen founded by two Software Engineering-students from the Hanzehogeschool. They created a webapplication that allows you to find parties, performances and festivals easily. Nearby events can be seen on the map and filters give the possibility to search for specific genres and price ranges.

The subject of this TAD-Talk is how NLP could be used to improve Festimap's application.
