September 26 - October 4, 2024
The second edition of the Bensadoun School of Retail Management鈥檚 Retail Gen AI Hackathon in partnership with ALDO Group and听powered by AWS, IVADO Labs, and the DataSphere Lab, was a unique opportunity to work on a real-life problem and learn how AI (Generative, Predictive, and Prescriptive) can help retailers make better data-driven decisions within their operations.
We are proud to have been supported by the DataSphere Lab at 成人VR视频 who provided students with machine learning models and cloud-based resources that were essential to accomplish their goals.
