Machine Learning Workshop - Julia Computing 1.30-4.30pm more info Join Julia Computing’s Avik Sengupta (VP Engineering) who is leading a workshop on ‘Machine Learning with Julia’, Workshop takes place from 1.30pm to 4.30pm. Julia is the fastest high-performance open source computing language for data, analytics, algorithmic trading, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other scientific and numeric computing applications. Julia solves the two language problem by combining the ease of use of Python and R with the speed of C++. Julia works with GPUs, TPUs, multithreading and parallel processing to deliver seamless unlimited scalability from a single CPU to thousands of nodes, cores and threads in the public or private cloud. Julia has run at petascale on 9,300 Knights Landing (KNL) nodes with 650,000 cores and 1.3 million threads to analyze over 56 terabytes of data using Cori, one of the ten largest and most powerful supercomputers in the world. Julia has been downloaded more than 12 million times and is used at more than 1,500 universities. Julia co-creators are the winners of the 2019 James H. Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software and the 2019 Sidney Fernbach Award. Julia Computing was founded in 2015 by all the creators of Julia to provide products including JuliaTeam, JuliaSure and JuliaRun to businesses and researchers using Julia.	Ended	Free	€0.00
Why R? Mini Conference Why R? is coming to Limerick on the 1st of February, bringing together speakers, coders, and R enthusiasts from across Ireland, for a day of talks and workshops.	Ended	Free	€0.00

This workshop covers all that is needed to integrate git into your daily development life using GitHub. We will begin with a discussion of what git is and how it works. Then a hands-on session, where we will run through multiple templated practical scenarios using Git commands. Lastly, we will wrap up by discussing other free offerings such as hosting websites using Pages. Requirement: A laptop.	Ended	Free	€0.00
Machine Learning for Coders 11.00 - 13.00 more info Machine Learning (ML) is no longer ring fenced to researchers and data scientists. New high-level APIs are driving the democratisation of ML applications and enabling programmers to build and implement ML solutions in their own work. This talk describes how these APIs work and why they sometimes perform better than even state-of-the-art solutions. Presented by Iain Keaney (Skellig.ai)	Ended	Free	€0.00
Data Science Learnathon 11.00 - 13.00 more info Data Science Learnathon: From Raw Data to Deployment. What is a learnathon? It's between a hackathon and a workshop. It's like a workshop because we'll learn more about the data science cycle - data access, data blending, data preparation, model training, optimization, testing, and deployment. It's like a hackathon because we'll work in groups to hack a workflow-based solution to guided exercises. The tool of choice for this learnathon is KNIME Analytics Platform - an open, open-source, GUI driven, data analytics platform, that covers all your data needs from data import to final deployment. Being open, KNIME offers a vast integration and IDE environment for R, Python, SQL, and Spark. After an initial introduction to the tool and to the data science cycle, we'll split in to groups. Each group will focus on one of three aspects of the data science cycle: Group 1 - Working on the raw data. Data access and data preparation. Group 2 - Machine Learning. Which model shall I use? Which parameters? Group 3 - I have a great model. Now what? The model deployment phase. Presented by Paolo Tamagnini, data scientist at KNIME, holds a master’s degree in data science from Sapienza University of Rome and has research experience from NYU in data visualization techniques for machine learning interpretability.	Ended	Free	€0.00
Introduction to using R for Stylometry 11.00 - 12.00 more info "Who really wrote Shakespeare? A quick introduction to using R for stylometry." This workshop will demo the stylo package in R, conducting stylometric analyses of works by Shakespeare and some of his contemporaries. The workshop will focus on the most important functions in stylo covering both supervised and unsupervised learning methods for authorship attribution.	Ended	Free	€0.00
