1st Terascale School of Machine Learning

→ Europe/Berlin
SR4 (DESY)

SR4

DESY
Description

The school aims at PhD students and young postdocs, and offers not only a basic introduction to machine learning, but also talks from leading experts in the field on their current research projects. The list of lectures comprises:
- Introduction to Machine Learning
- Introduction to Deep Learning
- Latest developments and new challenges in the field
- Machine learning outside High Energy Physics

In addition to the lectures, several hands-on tutorials will be offered, covering:
- TMVA
- PyTorch
- Keras and Tensorflow

One afternoon is reserved for a ML challenge.

In order to participate successfully in the school, we expect students to have at least basic knowledge of Python and numPy. If you don't have experience with it, please register to our pre-courses on Monday morning. The official school program will start on Monday afternoon. Please bring your own laptop for the tutorials.

The registration fee is 60 Euro and has to be paid in cash during the school. The number of attendees is limited to 80, in order to get a place please register early.

      Networked data-science for research, academic communities and beyond 1h
      There is an exceptional way of doing data-driven research employing networked community. The following examples can illustrate the approach: Galaxy Zoo or Tim Gower’s blog. However many cases of collaboration with the data-science community within competitions organised on Kaggle or Coda Lab platforms usually get limited by restrictions on those platforms. Common Machine Learning quality metrics do not necessarily correspond to the original research goal. Constraints imposed by the problem statement typically look artificial for ML-community. Preparing a perfect competition takes a considerable amount of efforts. On the contrary research process requires a lot of flexibility and ability to look at the problem from different angles. I’ll describe the alternative research collaboration process can bridge the gap between domain-specific research and data science community. Notably, it can involve academic researchers, younger practitioners and all enthusiasts who are willing to contribute. Such research process can be supported by an open computational platform that will be described along with essential examples for the audience of the workshop.
