Elasticsearch Teams up with MIT Sloan for Data Analytics Hackathon by Sejal Korenromp.
From the post:
Following from the success and popularity of the Hopper Hackathon we participated in late last year, last week we sponsored the MIT Sloan Data Analytics Club Hackathon for our latest offering to Elasticsearch aficionados. More than 50 software engineers, business students and other open source software enthusiasts signed up to participate, and on a Saturday to boot! The full day’s festivities included access to a huge storage and computing cluster, and everyone was set free to create something awesome using Elasticsearch.
Hacks from the finalists:
- Quimbly – A Digital Library
- Brand Sentiment Analysis
- Conference Data
- Twitter based sentiment analyzer
- Statistics on Movies and Wikipedia
See Sejal’s post for the details of each hack and the winner.
I noticed several very good ideas in these hacks, no doubt you will notice even more.
Enjoy!
