- CDTM Student Co-Runs Refugee Employment InitiativeFirst, CDTM student Christian Klugow appeared on ARD speaking on behalf of his initiative, Jobs4refugees.org. Then, other media outlets such as n-tv and the Süddeutsche Zeitung wanted to tell the Jobs4refugees.org story.

If "software was eating the world" as the Netscape co-founder and renowned venture capitalist, Marc Andreessen famously said, than surely machine learning and smart apps are responsible for putting all that digital goodness to practical use. These smart systems take in raw input data and spit out wisdom. And last year was perhaps the most successful year in making this field a household name. But the caveat of putting machine learning to use lies in the fact27 Jan 2016•4 min read
