SUMMARY:GIS and Spatial Analysis Fundamentals – II (Data models: vector\, network)
DESCRIPTION:This is the second workshop about the fundamentals of GIS and spatial analysis this semester. Each workshop covers one or two key elements of GIS and spatial analysis and is self-contained. The focus is on conceptual details that can provide sufficient preparation for applications\, but we will also touch upon the technical aspects. Most workshops will have at least one hands-on exercise. The first one hour of the workshop is a lecture-style presentation\, followed by the next half-hour for the hands-on exercises. Unless mentioned otherwise\, we will use R and/or QGIS for the hands-on portion.  \n  \nHow data is recorded in digital systems has significant implications for accuracy\, algorithms\, and the type of analyses that can be undertaken.  In this workshop we will cover data structure for vector and network data in the context of a 2-D GIS system. The focus is on developing a basic understanding of elements such as essential primitives\, how more complex objects are derived from the primitives\, and different formats and file systems.  \n  \nParticipants should have some familiarity with R\, but exposure to QGIS is not required.

SUMMARY:Wear OS: Creating An App For Your Android Smartwatch
DESCRIPTION:Smartwatches are multi-functional devices that can be worn on the wrist. They can read your heartbeat\, notify you of messages from your phone\, and can even tell the time! Google’s “Wear OS” is a branch of the Android mobile operating system\, and it encourages open app development. \nThis workshop is meant to introduce programming for a Wear OS watch. This will introduce some of the functions and sensors of a smartwatch\, through the programming of a simple app that reads your heartbeat. Participants will learn how to access and display this sensor information\, and how to save the data locally on the watch\, using Java and Android Studio\, with a step-by-step example. Participants who want to program during the workshop are recommended to install “Android Studio” in advance and to use their own laptops to use during the presentation. \nPlease register at least 24 hours in advance. Event may be canceled if pre-registration is low.

SUMMARY:Object Detection using Deep Learning with TorchVision
DESCRIPTION:Like many image processing problems\, deep learning has brought many effective solutions to the task of object detection. The TorchVision library is part of the PyTorch project\, and it offers well-established and successful methods for object detection (as well as many other problems). This workshop will demonstrate the process of preparing your own image dataset and training it using TorchVision with one of Google Colab’s free-to-use GPUs. The workshop will be done online via Zoom. Some experience with Python is helpful\, but no previous experience with PyTorch is needed. Google Colab requires a Google account (e.g. your umich account).

SUMMARY:Android Application Development: Introduction to Android Studio
DESCRIPTION:Mobile app development is one of the biggest new industries of the last decade. If you are developing an Android app for the first time\, the first option you will likely find is “Android Studio\,” a free integrated-developer-environment (IDE) provided directly by the Android team at Google\, using the Java programming language. It’s a good starting point for experienced programmers to build an Android app from scratch. \nWe will present a brief overview of the “Android Studio” environment\, and provide a step-by-step example to make an app with multiple ‘activities’ and using built-in ‘sensors.’ A familiarity with the Java programming language is recommended to get the most out of the seminar. Participants who want to program during the workshop are recommended to install “Android Studio” in advance and to use their own laptops to use during the presentation. \nPlease register at least 24 hours in advance. Event may be canceled if pre-registration is low.

SUMMARY:R Short Course: Vectors and Data Frames (Part 2)
DESCRIPTION:This is part 2 of a 5-part workshop series on programming in R.  This week\, we’ll discuss the following topics: vectors\, types\, lists\, and data frames. You’ll learn about indexing each of these objects and using `subset()`\, `aggregate()`\, and `merge()` for working with data frames. These workshops follow a hybrid format: a week before the scheduled meeting time participants will be given access to pre-recorded content and recommended readings to review at their own pace.  The following week\, we’ll meet at the posted time for 90 minutes over Zoom to answer questions and work on a collection of exercises.  At the end of the course\, we’ll gather for a 3-hour practicum\, in which we’ll program a console version of the game “Mastermind”.

SUMMARY:Geostatistics – III
DESCRIPTION:Many environmental variables such as temperature\, rainfall\, air pollutants\, and soil nutrients are measured at sampled point locations. We often need to estimate these variables at one of more unsampled locations. Geostatistics provide tools and techniques to carry out this task. \n\nIn a series of three workshops\, we will cover the basics of Geostatistics. In this third workshop\, we will combine the material we covered in the first two workshops and develop the geostatistical modeling approach. This is mainly a lecture style workshop\, but will include an example in R. The material will also help you understand the basics of Gaussian Process Regression\, a commonly used modeling technique in Machine Learning.

SUMMARY:Android Application Development: An Overview
DESCRIPTION:Mobile app development is one of the biggest new industries of the last decade. As of 2017\, Google and Apple (the creators of Android and iOS\, respectively) confirmed a combined total of over 3 billion devices (including smartphones\, smartwatches\, and much more) around the globe using their mobile operating systems. The capabilities and built-in sensors on modern smartphones also provide a new avenue to collect data or engage with participants in a non-invasive manner. It might seem intimidating to write a mobile app for the first time\, but the process is similar to writing software for a desktop computer\, which in itself isn’t as hard as you might think! \nWe will present a brief overview on developing Android apps\, the differences between Android and iOS development\, and provide quick demonstrations on how you can use a variety of available programming environments and languages to create an app. A basic familiarity with computer programming is recommended to get the most out of the seminar. This is not a in-depth workshop with the intention to have its participants program code alongside the presentation\, but meant to introduce available options for you to consider and to answer questions on the topic. \nPlease register at least 24 hours in advance. Event may be canceled if pre-registration is low.

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 Zoom. We will run the models using Google Colab\, which requires a Google account.

SUMMARY:Geostatistics – I
DESCRIPTION:Many environmental variables such as temperature\, rainfall\, air pollutants\, and soil nutrients are measured at sparsely sampled point locations. We often need to estimate these variables at one of more unsampled locations. Geostatistics provide tools and techniques to carry out this task. \n\nIn a series of three workshops\, we will cover the basics of Geostatistics. In this first workshop we will understand the idea of stationary random fields\, positive definite functions\, and the fundamental building blocks of Gaussian random fields. This is mainly a lecture style workshop\, but we will also execute some examples in R. The material will also help you understand the foundations of Gaussian Process Regression\, a commonly used technique in Machine Learning and AI.
