北美高校最火爆的 Hackathon ( 黑卡马拉松 ）

今天小编给编程和硬件爱好者们带来一些开拓视野，结交极客，体验创造乐趣，以及扩展人脉的活动。

这里是部分北美高校最火爆的 Hackathon ( 黑卡马拉松 ）。部分活动提供 国际签证邀请信 以及国际机票报销。部分学校提供接待学生，安排在本校宿舍住宿。（ 答主之前参加了麻省理工的活动，住在了学校宿舍，有吃有喝，好棒！）。全球顶级的 Hackathon 是工程和科技专业本科生非常值得留下的大学回忆 （谷歌，脸书，亚马逊，微软等公司都来开讲座哦！）。

Artificial intelligence research has made rapid progress in a wide variety of domains from speech recognition and image classification to genomics and drug discovery. In many cases, these are specialist systems that leverage enormous amounts of human expertise and data.

However, for some problems this human knowledge may be too expensive, too unreliable or simply unavailable. As a result, a long-standing ambition of AI research is to bypass this step, creating algorithms that achieve superhuman performance in the most challenging domains with no human input. In our most recent paper, published in the journal Nature, we demonstrate a significant step towards this goal.

PS: 我刚刚和小伙伴报名了 Udacity 的《自动驾驶汽车入门》课程，感兴趣的朋友可以看看，还有 18 天开课 （我可怜的 800 刀就这么给网课了）

1 ） Bayesian Thinking 贝叶斯思维

Learn the framework that underlies a self-driving car ’ s understanding of itself and the world around it, and to see the world the way a self-driving car does.

2 ） Working with Matrices 矩阵运算

This course will focus on two tools which are vital to self-driving car engineers: object oriented programming and linear algebra.

3 ） C++ Basics C++入门

This course is the first step in a rewarding journey towards C++ expertise. The goal is translation: get a program written in Python, and translate it into C++.

4 ） Performance Programming in C++ C++性能优化

Explore how to write good code that runs correctly. We ’ ll focus primarily on low level features of C++, but we ’ ll discuss other best practices as well.

5 ） Navigating Complex Data Structures 高级数据结构

Algorithmic thinking is a skill you ’ ll refine throughout your career. In this course you ’ ll focus on frequently used data structures and algorithms.

6 ） Visualizing Calculus and Controls 微积分

In this course you ’ ll learn basic calculus — the mathematics of continuity. You ’ ll also learn to use some of Python ’ s most popular visualization libraries.

7 ） Machine Learning and Computer Vision 机器学习与计算机视觉

In this course you ’ ll learn how a computer sees an image, and how we can use machine learning to teach a computer to identify images programmatically.
