BlueJeans link will be shared with registered attendees 24 hours before start Video 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 […]
This is a series of workshops designed to introduce participants to the Stata software. No prior experience with Stata is required. The sections are: Section 1: The Basics of Stata – Interacting with Stata. (10/19 2-3:30) Section 2: Working with Data Sets – Importing, opening, and saving data sets. (10/21 2-3:30) Section 3: Data Management – The basics […]
This workshop will demonstrate how to perform image segmentation using the FastAI Python library, which is built on the deep learning library PyTorch. Some familiarity with Python is expected, but no previous experience with FastAI or PyTorch is needed. The workshop will be done online via BlueJeans. We will run the code using Google Colab, which requires a […]
APPROACHES FOR STUDYING MULTISCALE COMPUTATIONAL MODELS
BlueJeans link will be shared with registered attendees 24 hours before start Modern 3D game engines and computer hardware can render convincing graphics, rivaling that of pre-rendered 3D animation. But video games still require special optimization techniques and tricks. This relates directly to perceived capabilities for data visualization and serious applications: we can generate and […]
The focus of the workshop is twofold: to learn cartography principles for generating single and multivariable choropleth maps, and explore functionalities of R for generating static and interactive web maps. We will use the COVID19 data available at (https://github.com/nytimes/covid-19-data) and combine it with information from Census and other sources to visualize spatial patterns and make […]
STEADY COHERENT STATES IN RAYLEIGH–B'{E}NARD CONVECTION
OVERVIEW Machine learning is becoming an increasingly popular tool in several fields, including data science, medicine, engineering, and business. This workshop will cover basic concepts related to machine learning, including definitions of basic terms, sample applications, and methods for deciding whether your project is a good fit for machine learning. No prior knowledge or coding […]
LARGE-SCALE INFERENCE OF TIME-VARYING MARKOV RANDOM FIELDS: BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN STATISTICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL EFFICIENCIES
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 […]
