Effective Visual Communication of Science (November 25-26, 2021)
Friday 24. September 2021

Strategies for effective communication scientific ideas and results by applying best visual communication practices to research communication were discussed. Understanding of principles and useful design approaches used by experts was discussed. Participants were given actionable advice and feedback on their own pre-submitted materials. It was an immersive webinar, structured, easy to follow, memorable, useful and fun.

[BuildMoNa] ATM: Deep Learning/Machine Learning (September 16-17, 2021)
Thursday 2. September 2021
Aims

The course aims at two aspects of machine learning.

The first goal is an introduction to statistical mechanics of learning, which aims at describing the typical learning behavior of neural networks, discussion of the generalization performance of strongly overparametrized neural networks. Information field theoretic description of ultrawide neural networks. The second aim is to give an introduction to machine learning techniques and its applications in natural sciences. It will include fields of image recognition, time series analysis and reinforcement learning with examples and applications of neural networks in fluid mechanics.

Introduction to mass spectrometry (October 5-7, 2021)
Tuesday 31. August 2021

Aims

This advanced training module addressed doctoral students in chemistry, physics, biophysics, and related fields without much prior knowledge or experience in mass spectrometry. It introduced the basic theoretical and technical concepts of mass spectrometry and provided hands-on experiments in the labs.

Introduction to Python (October 27-28, 2021)
Tuesday 27. July 2021

In recent years Python has become more and more popular. According to the Tiobe Index it is about to overtake Java and to be the number two in the list of the most important programming language in the world. In the fields of numerical programming and Machine Learning, Python is the leader. It is not just easier to learn than other languages but programs in Python can also be faster written and are characterized by their easy readability. One of the reasons for this are the user-friendly data structures and the easy to grasp syntax.

Date: October 27+28, 2021 (9.00-17.00)
