On November 23 and 24, the third edition of HackEPS was held, a hackathon organized by the Escola Politècnica Superior of the University of Lleida with the aim of motivating people to see programming as a hobby. More than 100 young people from all over Catalonia participated, where participants could form groups of a maximum of 4 people. All groups had 24 hours to propose a solution to one of the challenges presented by the companies sponsoring the event.
Among the participants of the HackEPS we had several groups of inLabers formed by Victor Tomás, Alex Catalán, Alejandro Mas, Ferran Toda and Quim Ferrer. The team of Alex Catalan and Victor Tomàs made a system that measures environmental parameters in the home environment (temperature and humidity) using sensors connected to a Raspbian operating system, connected at the same time to an API hosted on its own WEB server. The project was done with Amazon Alexa, Flask, Ionic, Python, Raspbian and Tensorflow.
The team of Quim Lázaro, Marta Gil, Victor Diví and Albert Garriga (ex-inLaber) won first prize in the hackathon and took on the challenge proposed by Eurecat: Cotton, Cognitive task ordering, they did a project called Dolly Workers where they made a task prioritization system simulating the thinking of several workers, each with different criteria and priorities. They made a linear model with a rule-based model and a neural network. The project used Keras, Python and Tensorflow.
