Time: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Venue: Zoom broadcast only
Website: <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lsu-nvidia-2-day-deep-learning-workshop-tickets-34285824825> http://www.hpc.lsu.edu/training/workshop.php
Registration Fee: None
Registration opens: April 12, 2022
Registration deadline: May 22, 2022

Due to concern about the COVID-19 pandemic, the workshop will be held in a virtual online form via Zoom. The lectures will be given in every morning and recorded. Attendants can either attend the live sessions or view the recordings later. Online hands-on sessions will be held in every afternoon. More details will follow.

Description:
Scientific computing is becoming more ubiquitous for all types of research areas. Skills and knowledge that are necessary to take full advantage of the power of computing, however, are often inadequately present in both curricular and extracurricular training. The purpose of this workshop is, by both presentation and hands-on experiences, to help attendants understand the usage of popular scientific computing programming tools and prepare for their future computational study and research career.

 In six days the attendants will learn:

  *   Section 1 (2 days) - Introduction to R programming language with its applications in scientific computing
  *   Section 2 (2 days) - Introduction to Python programming language with its applications in scientific computing
  *   Section 3 (2 days) - Introduction to Deep Learning

Attendants can choose to attend any number of sections.

Schedule (Note: This tentative schedule is subject to change.)

Section 1 (2 days) - Introduction to R programming language with its applications in scientific computing

  *   May 24: Overview and Introduction to R
  *   May 25: Intermediate R
Section 2 (2 days) - Introduction to Python programming language with its applications in scientific computing

  *   May 26: Introduction to Python
  *   May 27: Intermediate Python
Section 3 (2 days) - Introduction to Deep Learning

  *   May 30: Introduction to Deep Learning, Part 1
  *   May 31: Introduction to Deep Learning, Part 2

Please distribute to faculty, staff and students that might be interested.
