Modern computers have a CPU with multiple cores (usually between 4-8). Come learn how to take advantage of them to parallelize and speed up your code. We’ll show you how to structure your code so you can parallelize it in 5 lines or less. We will also cover some theory, a few practical considerations along […]
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are used as a machine learning method for both regression and classification problems. TensorFlow is a popular software library that is often used to construct and train DNNs. In this workshop, participants will learn how to quickly use the high-level TensorFlow Estimator module to perform nonlinear regression and classification with standard fully connected DNNs. We will also show […]
