The event turned the office into an experimental lab, with new innovations developing by the hour as teams rushed to beat the clock. At the end of the competition, groups had five minutes to present their projects to the Kayrros senior management team, including President Antoine Rostand.<\/p>\n
The result? The winning team designed a natural language processing algorithm to search through millions of news articles in near-realtime, and automatically categorize and store the articles to be later benchmarked against time series. Now, a short few weeks later, the tool is being tested by analysts at the company for potential use in commercial products.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a great way to start the project, since now we\u2019re already working on testing it with the analysts and collecting their feedback to make improvements. As interns, we don\u2019t always have this kind of exposure in our everyday jobs but now everyone knows what we do, which is pretty cool. We\u2019re looking forward to pushing this project further forward. We\u2019ll see what happens in the next few weeks,\u201d said Data Ops Intern Ahmed Lahlou Mimi.<\/p>\n Looking beyond the Hackathon projects, the event provided an opportunity to strengthen the Kayrros community by welcoming newcomers and connecting teams through the pursuit of learning something new. In a fast-paced work environment, allowing time and space to experiment is crucial to maintain the creativity that Kayrros strives to implement across the board, both on the business and personal level. Growth starts here.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"Kayrros](\"https:\/\/www.kayrros.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot_181.png\")
