Community


Some projects I run in my spare time.

DataHack - I have co-founded, with Inbar Naor, DataHack, and manage (as CEO and chairman) a non-profit / community / yearly hackathon dedicated to promoting data science and machine learning in Israel. It is the largest non-profit and hackathon in Israel dedicated to these subjects, and it runs projects such as DataTalks, DataNights and Kaggle-IL.

DataNights Program for Data Science Team Leads - I have recently built and ran the first cohort of my DataNights program for data science team leads. We discussed roadmaps and vision, project structure, working with product, recruiting and managing workers from varied backgrounds, the right project mixture and so much more. I plan to run more cohorts; follow us on LinkedIn.

NLPH - I have founded a small online community around natural language processing in Hebrew, in hopes of encouraging joint community initiatives and the sharing of resources and knowledge. Activity is focused around our Facebook group and a resource repository.

DataConf - A yearly, casual data science conference by DataHack, meant to bring together data science and machine learning experts from the top companies in Israel for a day of knowledge sharing.

DataTalks - A meetup series by DataHack, dedicated to deep, technical talks on data science and machine learning, featuring speakers from both academida and industry.
