…the hackathon was a significant

factor in the project's success…scheduling the

hackathon earlier in the

tool development

process would have been

even more beneficial.

Comments and suggestions

What is your age?

Your Comments and Suggestions “Awesome~ we met together and learned a lot from teammates and competitors.“

"Overall, I really enjoyed the hackathon. Thanks for organizing it!"

“Great platform to learn new concepts and establish good collaborations."

"Special Lecture by Jake Chen...was great and informative. I wish it should have been

delivered earlier…to help the researchers who are beginners in ML.

"Will it happen next year?"

"Would be nice to collaborate with more exclusive, clinical datasets only for the

hackathon. Thank you everyone :-)"

"Time for showcase is not enough“

"Earlier announcement and preparation“, “sharing the resources and links with better

documentation“, “present the contact information clearly“, “team formation process

could be more clear.”

"Too formal....have the lead up sessions simply be a workshop....It felt a bit daunting.
