In the next future the new data centre of the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) based in Reading U.K. will be moved to Bologna, Italy. The building is to be delivered to ECMWF by 2019 and will host the Centre’s new supercomputers, whilst the Centre’s headquarters are to remain in the UK. This centre will host one of the few global dataset of environmental data used...

30. Unsupervised Learning

Prof. Andrea De Simone (sissa)

18/09/2018, 15:35

I introduce the basic concepts of unsupervised learning, highlighting the differences with supervised learning. The focus will be on three of the main tasks addressed by unsupervised learning: cluster analysis, anomaly detection and dimensional reduction. For each of them, I describe the problem in general terms, the ways to approach it, and some of the most popular algorithms to solve it.

24. Coffee Seminar: Becoming a Data Scientist

Dr Valentin Kuznetsov (Cornell University (US))

20/09/2018, 15:35

In this talk we'll cover materials and knowledge base of how to become a world class Data Scientists. We'll use real kaggle competition dataset and build for it a set of ML models. During this session we'll introduce advanced concepts of ML training, like feature embedding, data transformation and ML model fine-tuning. We'll discuss how to work large datasets, techniques to avoid...
