Course Description

Workshops generally run from 9:00am - 5:00pm.

Simultaneous access to two screens is highly recommended for best learning experience. Examples include one computer with two screens, two computers, one laptop and one tablet, etc.

Overview

In the past decade, deep learning has become a valuable tool for scientists, transforming fields such as text processing, image analysis, genomic/proteomic data analysis, data clustering, and much more. However, these algorithms can be difficult to understand, interpret, and program. This workshop will cover the underlying concepts and practical implementations of neural networks, including foundation models. Deep learning packages, such as PyTorch, Keras, and HuggingFace, will be introduced. Coding techniques will be demonstrated through examples and practiced through exercises that will be completed in the Python programming language. Finally, best practices for model interpretation and data visualization will be introduced, helping researchers use AI in an effective and reproducible way.

Who should Attend?
This workshop is for researchers who want to train AI models for scientific applications. Those who are interested in applying existing generative AI models, such as GPT-4o, may wish to enroll in BIOF 053 | Introduction to Generative AI.

Prerequisite
Proficient in Python, Java, or R

Credit

Although no grades are given for courses, each participant will receive Continuing Education Units (CEUs) based on the number of contact hours. One CEU is equal to ten contact hours. Upon completion of the course each participant will receive a certificate, showing completion of the workshop and 2.1 CEUs.

This workshop applies toward the Bioinformatics Endeavor digital badge.
