SUMMARY:Latent Variable Modeling
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) series.  This workshop will help participants develop skills in understanding and conducting latent variable models\, particularly from the perspective of structural equation modeling. After a conceptual overview\, a broad view of matrix factorization techniques will be provided along with specific examples (e.g. PCA\, ‘factor analysis’).  In addition\, measurement error issues\, reliability\, and scale development will be discussed (e.g. ‘confirmatory’ factor analysis). \nPrerequisites: One should have a firm understanding of basic regression. R will be the program of choice\, but nothing beyond very basic skill is assumed (e.g. import data\, run a regression).  Demonstration will be conducted with R\, and the psych and lavaan packages in particular.

SUMMARY:PySpark
DESCRIPTION:Apache Spark is a powerful open source processing engine built around speed\, ease of use\, and sophisticated analytics. Industry has quickly adopted Spark and deployed it at scale for processing big data. Its main advantage include in-memory processing and a rich set of operations for wrangling data using DataFrames. In this workshop\, we’ll introduce attendees to SparkSQL and DataFrames for basic data manipulation\, file I/O and SQL querying. Spark has language bindings to R\, Python\, Scala and Java. We’ll be using PySpark (the Python API) in our workshop. \nThe workshop is intended for users with INTERMEDIATE knowledge of R\, Python\, or comparable language. Attendees should be familiar with DataFrames in Python (pandas) or R (dplyr). Attendees will NEED to have a Cavium account beforehand to participate. http://myumi.ch/6pn5d

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Narayana R. Aluru\, Professor\, Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering\, Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Professor Aluru studies problems at the crossroads of mechanical engineering\, electrical engineering\, materials science and chemical engineering. His work in the area of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) revealed previously unknown nonlinear dynamic phenomena\, such as complex oscillations\, period doubling bifurcation to chaos\, and U-sequence. These insights led him to perform fundamental studies on thermoelastic damping in MEMS and to develop a new model to predict thermoelastic damping for complex nonlinear oscillations encountered in NEMS. \nIn another effort\, he developed the first bio-MEMS and microfluidics models for the analysis and design of lab-on-a-chip applications\, as well as mathematical models for pH- and electric field-responsive hydrogels-materials with potential applications in small-scale sensing and actuation. \nProfessor Aluru also studies the unique physics that occur at the nanometer level. He discovered several new physical phenomena through nanofluidics research\, including charge inversion\, flow reversal\, anomalously immobilized water\, asymmetric dependence of fluid and ion transport on surface charge\, and enhanced conductivity in nanopores. His recent investigations of surface diffusion demonstrated that liquid molecules move as much as 30 times faster over a solid surface when that surfaced is only partially covered by such molecules\, and that larger molecules move faster on a partially covered surface than shorter ones do. His other work in nanofluidics includes the multiscale modeling of the transport of water and other ions through membranes\, studying the function of biological channels in the membranes of living cells\, investigating the use of carbon nanotubes to filter pathogens and other toxins out of water\, and exploring the use of carbon and boron nanotubes to speed the removal of salt from water during reverse osmosis. \nCOMPUTATIONAL NANOSCALE HYDRODYNAMICS\nMany applications in biology\, engineering and science rely on efficient hydrodynamic transport through nanometer scale pores and channels. For example\, channels and pores in cellular membranes regulate the functionality of the cell by selectively and efficiently exchanging water and ions between extra and intra cellular environments. Selective pores in ultrathin membranes have been shown to be highly efficient for water desalination and power generation. Classical theories often fail to describe fluid physics at nanometer scale. For example\, density layering\, size dependent fluid properties\, restricted translational and rotational motions\, charge inversion\, flow reversal and several other important phenomena have been observed at nanometer scale. The focus of this talk is to develop efficient theories and computational approaches to accurately describe fluid physics at nanometer scales. First\, we will introduce an empirical potential-based quasi-continuum theory (EQT) to accurately predict the structure of confined fluids. We show that the density layering from EQT matches well with molecular dynamics (MD) and EQT is many orders of magnitude faster compared to MD. Next\, we show that the EQT framework can be combined with the generalized Langevin theory to compute diffusion of confined fluids and with the classical Navier-Stokes equations to compute the transport of confined fluids. We will show several examples to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the quasi-continuum theory for confined fluids. \nProf. Aluru is being hosted Professors Krishna Garikipati and Eric Michielssen. If you would like to meet Prof. Aluru\, please send an email to micde-events@umich.edu. If you are an MICDE student or fellow\, or a post-doc\, and would like to join Prof. Aluru for lunch\, please RSVP here.

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. \nAll examples will use Python; some familiarity with Pyt hon is recommended. Computers will be available to complete exercises.

SUMMARY:Go for data processing 1/2/3
DESCRIPTION:This is a three-session workshop on the use of Go for data processing.  Go is an open source language developed for general-purpose programming.  It is not more difficult to learn and use than a high-level scripting language like Python\, but it is strongly typed\, statically compiled\, and provides native support for concurrency\, leading to much better performance for many common tasks.  In this series of workshops\, we introduce Go as a tool for data processing. No prior exposure to Go is expected\, but participants should have some programming background. Free and open source tools for Go are available for all common platforms.   \nParticipants should bring a laptop if they want to work with the examples during the presentation\, but this is optional. \nSession 1: March 19\, 2:00pm – 4:00pm \nSession 2: March 26\, 2:00pm – 4:00pm \nSession 3: April 2\, 2:00pm – 4:00pm \nNote: Interested participants only need to register with the 1st session.
