Learn about ReadToMe – The first place winner of the AWS DeepLens Challenge Hackathon
When Alex Schultz first heard about the AWS DeepLens workshop in Dr. Matt Wood’s keynote address at re:Invent 2017, little did he know that a few months later he would be the first place winner of the AWS DeepLens Challenge Hackathon, owe his kids $400, and be the star of a blog post on the AWS Machine Learning Blog!
Before starting this project Alex had no machine learning experience, however, in just a few weeks he was up and running—building and training models, and hungry to do more. We interviewed Alex about his experience with AWS DeepLens and asked him to do a deep dive into how he created his winning entry.
