HackNLP is a 1-day Hackathon organized by the research group GESSI from UPC and powered by the OpenReq project, a Horizon 2020 research project funded by the European Union.

The main goal of OpenReq is to build an intelligent recommendation and decision system for community-driven require­ments engineering. One of the main technologies used for this purpose is Natural Language Processing, which offers a large set of features to evaluate and extract information from these requirements.

At HackNLP, you will learn the basics of the main components developed at OpenReq that focus on applying NLP techniques to the requirements engineering field. And you will be challenged to build an innovative, accurate solution giving a contribution by your own!
