    Introduction to Deep Neural Networks with Keras/TensorFlow

    Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001A

    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 […]

    Android Application Development: An Overview

    Rackham Building, Earl Lewis Room, 3rd Floor East 915 E. Washington St., Ann Arbor, MI, United States

    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 around the globe using their mobile operating systems. The capabilities and built-in sensors on modern smartphones also provide a […]

    Improving the Performance of Scientific Software

    Rackham Building, Earl Lewis Room, 3rd Floor East 915 E. Washington St., Ann Arbor, MI, United States

    This is a continuation of the workshop "Introduction to performance analysis of scientific software".  Now, we know how to measure overall performance of our software and can make a good guess of the main performance bottleneck.  How can we improve the performance? Do we really need to rewrite the whole program in a different language? […]

    Stata 16 New Data Management Features

    Rackham Building, Earl Lewis Room, 3rd Floor East 915 E. Washington St., Ann Arbor, MI, United States

    Audience: Stata users familiar with data management who want an overview of the new data management features introduced in Stata 16. We'll cover the two main data management features introduced in Stata 16. 1) Frames - holding multiple data sets in memory simultaneously. 2) Variable lists - formalizing creation and storage of lists of variables.

    SC2 Workshop Series: QGIS – Visualizing Geospatial Data

    Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001A

    QGIS is a user friendly Open Source Geographic Information System (GIS). You can visualize, manage, edit, analyze data, and compose printable maps. The workshop will use R. This workshop is part of the Scientific Computing Student Club’s (SC2) 2020 Visualization Challenge. It is the second workshop in the series. Learn more about the workshop series and the Visualization […]

    Programming with R

    Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001A

    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 […]

    Rcpp: Integrating C++ into R

    Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001A

    The Rcpp package for R provides “seamless R and C++ integration”.  In this workshop, we will discuss the use of Rcpp to speed up existing R code by rewriting slow functions in C++.   The workshop will be centered around a couple of case studies with an opportunity provided for participants to implement a few of their […]
