Hector

nwHacks Machine Learning

I’ve been doing a bunch of work during my internship with Machine Learning models so I figured I take a crack at applying them to some of my personal projects. Just for fun I wanted to see what would happen if I tried to train a model on the registration, check-in and submission data for nwHacks.

I decided to use Hector, a suite of algorithms completely written in Go since that’s what most of the nwHacks tooling is written in. Took a few hours to write a pipeline that would read in the nwHacks registration data from Firebase and output it into a format that Hector supports.
