Description:
This workshop will introduce the terminology and concepts of machine learning, including random forests, gradient boosting classifiers, and neural networks, and how they can be applied to research. In addition to theory, participants will be able to work with a sample dataset to have a more practical understanding of how to implement simple machine learning strategies and apply them to their own datasets. This workshop will focus on implementation in Python using sci-kit.
If you'd like to ensure participation in the hands-on section, you must bring your own device. A limited number of laptops (5) will be provided on site on a first-come first-serve basis.
