SUMMARY:Intermediate SQL
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is a continuation of the Intro to SQL class.  We’ll cover how to create a table schema\, how to insert data into tables and some more intermediate SQL syntax. Attendees should already know basic SQL syntax like JOIN\, WHERE\, BETWEEN\, GROUP BY\, HAVING etc. A web-based tool will be used for the tutorial.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Deep Neural Networks with Keras/TensorFlow
DESCRIPTION:Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are used as a machine learning method for both regression and classification problems. Keras is a high-level\, Python interface running on top of multiple neural network libraries\, including the popular library TensorFlow. In this workshop\, participants will learn how to quickly use the Keras interface to perform nonlinear regression and classification with standard fully-connected DNNs\, as well as image classification using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). We will also look at regularization techniques and how to deal with under- and over-fitting. All examples will use Python; some familiarity with Python is recommended. The workshop will be done online via BlueJeans. We will run the models using Google Colab\, which requires a Google account.

SUMMARY:R Series II: Programming
DESCRIPTION:People using R for applied research are often not taught basic programming practices such as writing functions\, efficient iterative processing\, vectorization\, and other practices that would make their research far more efficient and reproducible.  Understandably\, focus is on basic data manipulation and getting model results.  Unfortunately\, this can mean the data isn’t as explored as it should be\, or other opportunities are lost (e.g. feature engineering)\, because of the presumed effort that would be required to deal with the data more fully.\n\nThis workshop will help you get more out of R so that you can take your efforts to the next level.\n\n\nPrereq: Some basic experience using R is required (R Series I: Data Wrangling).  You should know how to create and manipulate objects\, run basic analyses\, etc.  This could also be useful to anyone with programming experience in another language like Python.\n\n\n\nContent Basis: https://m-clark.github.io/data-processing-and-visualization/

SUMMARY:Mixed Models with R
DESCRIPTION:Mixed models are an extremely useful modeling tool for situations in which there is some dependency among observations in the data\, where the correlation typically arises from the observations being clustered in some way. For example\, it is quite common to have data in which we have repeated measurements for the units of observation\, or in which the units of observation are otherwise clustered (e.g. students within school\, cities within geographic region). While there are different ways to approach such a situation\, mixed models are a very common and powerful tool to do so.  In addition\, they have ties to other statistical approaches that further expand their applicability. \nThe goal of this workshop is primarily to provide a sense of when one would use mixed models and how to incorporate a variety of standard techniques.  It is very applied in nature\, and only assumes a basic understanding of standard regression models (and use of R for such models). \nLink: https://m-clark.github.io/mixed-models-with-R/

SUMMARY:Data Visualization With 3D Graphics Using Unity3D and C#
DESCRIPTION:BlueJeans link will be shared with registered attendees 24 hours before start \nVideo game development is more accessible than ever before thanks to modern software tools\, with many options free to download. These tools are also used to program more “serious” applications that require interactive 3D graphics\, from mobile apps\, virtual and augmented reality\, computer vision and artificial intelligence\, and real-time CGI film production. \nUnity3D is a powerful and popular game engine for both hobbyist and professional projects\, able to compile a ‘game’ to almost any computer platform\, and free to download for non-commercial use. This workshop will show how you can use it to render data from research projects in a 3D interactive representation for user analysis and demonstration. \nIn this workshop\, we introduce the Unity3D workspace\, and prepare a demo that allows the user to load an example dataset and view it as a simple set of 3D representations. A basic familiarity with any computer programming language (C# will be used during the session) is recommended to get the most out of the workshop. To take part\, users will be responsible to use their own laptop with Unity3D (available for Windows\, Macintosh and Linux) pre-installed. Additional project files will be provided to registered users ahead of the workshop date.
