Intermediate Python: Plotting

Date: Wednesday, May 25, 2022
Time: 9 am–12 noon
Location: Online
Facilitator: Chris Want

Register now!

This half-day session will look at the Plotly library for creating interactive plots. Students should know some Python and Pandas.

If you do not have a version of Python installed and are not sure where to start, then consider following the instructions for your operating system here: https://ualberta-rcg.github.io/python-intro/setup/ (or use a cloud-based Jupyter notebook platform, like Google Colab).

Intermediate Python: Parallelism

Date: Wednesday, June 1, 2022
Time: 9 am–12 noon
Location: Online
Facilitator: Chris Want

Register now!

This half-day session will focus on writing parallel programs with Python (via the DASK library). Students should know some Python and Pandas.

If you do not have a version of Python installed and are not sure where to start, then consider following the instructions for your operating system here: https://ualberta-rcg.github.io/python-intro/setup/ (or use a cloud-based Jupyter notebook platform, like Google Colab).

Intermediate Python: Introduction to Machine Learning

Date: Monday, June 6; Wednesday, June 8; Friday, June 10, 2022
Time: 9 am–12 noon
Location: Online
Facilitator: Chris Want

Register now!

This hands-on workshop (three half-days) will introduce students to central concepts in machine learning, and provide an introduction to tools for doing predictive data science with Python. It includes an introduction to supervised learning (classification and regression), unsupervised learning (clustering), and basic neural networks.

Students should know some Python and Pandas (e.g., via the Introduction to Python course), but no previous experience with machine learning is required.

If you do not have a version of Python installed and are not sure where to start, then consider following the instructions for your operating system here: https://ualberta-rcg.github.io/python-intro/setup/ (or use a cloud-based Jupyter notebook platform, like Google Colab).
