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.

Each section will go over one chapter from the materials at https://cscar.github.io/workshop-spss/ Section 1: Basics of SPSS (9/16, 10am - 12pm) Section 2: Variables (9/23, 10am - 12pm) Section 3: Data Management (9/30, 10am - 12pm) Section 4: Basic Statistical Analysis (10/7, 10am - 12pm) It is strongly encouraged to have SPSS installed on your […]

This workshop will expose participants to GIS functionalities in R. We will cover vector and raster data representation, vector geometric operations, coordinate representation, combined raster and vector operations in R. The workshop will be especially useful for participants with some exposure to both GIS and R. This workshop is virtual. The presenter will be in touch with more […]

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 […]

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 […]

The CUDA computing platform enables the acceleration of CPU-only applications to run on the world’s fastest massively parallel GPUs. Experience C/C++ application acceleration by: Accelerating CPU-only applications to run their latent parallelism on GPUs Utilizing essential CUDA memory management techniques to optimize accelerated applications Exposing accelerated application potential for concurrency and exploiting it with CUDA […]
