Course Information
Course Contents/Program
In this HGS-HIRe Participant Education Project we will focus on Machine Learning (ML) which
is widely used in data science. In addition to the basics of ML, real-world use cases and
hands-on sessions are foreseen. An introduction to ML tools such as scikit-learn, Keras,
TensorFlow, and ONNX will be provided to offer participants insight into relevant ML tools.
The exercises will be based on Python.
The HGS-HIRe PEP is targeted at an audience of doctoral students interested in the topic and
advanced undergraduate students. The focus of the PEP is strongly on educational aspects to
enhance the research toolbox of the participants rather than on a scientific discussion about
the results and outcomes of the analyses.
