I had the pleasure of taking part in the Exposure Hackathon a few weekends ago as a scientific expert. Exposure is a 3-day hackathon in Lausanne, Switzerland that brings together scientists and filmmakers to create short science films. Our team of 4 people decided to illustrate Machine Learning as it could be applied in love and relationships.

Long story short: we won the Hackathon!

And the public award of #expscifilm17 goes to… Jenna and Danbot! Congratulations! #scicomm #filmstoseebeforeyoudie #epfl #unil pic.twitter.com/pIr8QUZ2B4
