Data Science Bootcamp (openHPI)

Offered by Hasso-Plattner-Institut,

The ultimate goal of the bootcamp is to cultivate strong data science skills with an emphasis on machine learning techniques to satisfactorily meet and exceed the requests of the Data science world. In the process, we will develop good habits for operating independently as data scientists and for operating as members of productive data science teams.

Why is the topic relevant? Why is it on everyone's mind?
Having data science and machine learning skills nowadays can potentially increase your success chances, whether that be as an individual or a business. Many industries offer their employees the opportunity to enroll in upskilling programs. In that way, domain experts can leverage the knowledge in their given field and seek higher roles in their company. As the demand for data science skills rises higher and higher, having a rounded understanding of data science and applying that knowledge practically can help widen your scope of knowledge.

Hier lernen Jugendliche und andere Interessierte ohne Programmier-Erfahrung und technisches Hintergrund-Wissen, die Welt des maschinellen Lernens und der künstlichen Intelligenz zu verstehen. Wir führen Sie dazu in die grundlegenden Konzepte ein. Dabei erfahren Sie, wo die Unterschiede zwischen herkömmlicher Programmierung und der Entwicklung selbstlernender Software liegen. Anhand von Beispielen erfahren Sie, was überwachtes, nicht überwachtes und verstärkendes Lernen sind. Denn diese Konzepte bilden den Kern für die Algorithmen, welche das maschinelle Lernen bewirken. Erleben Sie anhand einer konkreten Anwendung, wie mit einem solchen Lernprozess Muster und Strukturen in großen Datenmengen erkannt werden können. Auch auf ethische Fragen beim Einsatz künstlicher Intelligenz sowie die Begrenzungen der Technologie maschinellen Lernens wird in dem vierwöchigen Gratis-Kurs eingegangen. Geleitet wird er von den Masterstudenten Johannes Hötter und Christian Warmuth.

Introduction to Bayesian Data Analysis (openHPI)

Statistics & Data Analysis Data Science

Bayesian data analysis is increasingly becoming the tool of choice for many data-analysis problems. This free course on Bayesian data analysis will teach you basic ideas about random variables and probability distributions, Bayes' rule, and its application in simple data analysis problems. You will learn to use the R package brms (which is a front-end for the probabilistic programming language Stan). The focus will be on regression modeling, culminating in a brief introduction to hierarchical models (otherwise known as mixed or multilevel models). This course is appropriate for anyone familiar with the programming language R and for anyone who has done some frequentist data analysis (e.g., linear modeling and/or linear mixed modeling) in the past.
