  • Deep learning in biology, autumn session

    30 September - 18 December 2020

    Elixir node event
    Deep learning in biology, autumn session https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/deep-learning-in-biology-autumn-session Large amounts of data and compute resources have enabled the development of high-performance machine learning models. This is particularly due to deep learning techniques. By looking at many data samples, these models can find structure in the data that is useful for predictive and explorative analysis: e.g. classification, clustering, data generation, dimensionality reduction, etc. The most popular applications within biotechnology are concerned with image segmentation, diagnostics, sequence analysis, etc. However, deep learning models are far from straightforward to implement correctly due to the many different hyperparameter settings, optimization procedures, architecture choices, etc. In this course, we will make use of Jupyter Notebok and Keras, which are both based on Python, to apply deep learning techniques on both bio informatics and bio image informatics data. We aim to work towards applications that participants would like to study. 2020-09-30 09:00:00 UTC 2020-12-18 00:00:00 UTC VIB Bioinformatics Core [] [] [] [] [] []

    Elixir node event
    ReproHack - A hackaton on reproducible data analysis https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/reprohack-a-hackaton-on-reproducible-data-analysis During a ReproHack, participants attempt to reproduce published research of their choice from a list of proposed papers with publicly available associated code and data. This approach should provide a low-pressure environment to actually get working with other people's code and data. Besides evaluating the analysis of papers, this hackaton is also about working together, networking and learning from each other!  Disclaimer: It’s imperative to note that this event is by no means an attempt to criticize or discredit work. We see reproduction as beneficial scientific activity in itself, with useful outcomes for authors and valuable learning experiences for the participants and the research community as a whole. Nominate a paper We accept nominations from anyone. Both researchers that have submitted a paper and would like to test whether one of your own papers is reproducible, and researchers that want to dig into the code of another paper! Either way, we encourage proponents to seek consent from the original authors for their nominations. Nominate a paper via this link. The papers will be assembled and showcased before selection via this link.  Register as participant Join us at the hack to dig into exciting science, learn more about reproducibility, working with other people's code and data and more. 2020-10-20 09:00:00 UTC 2020-10-20 00:00:00 UTC VIB Bioinformatics Core [] [] [] [] [] []
