The Data Science Lab welcomes students, staff, and faculty of all disciplines and levels to collaborate on common projects. We host regular workshops and applied project open lab sessions to provide mentorship, hands on exercises and networking opportunities to help you learn and use data science as a way to solve real-world problems.
Data Visualization Workshop
This non-programming in-person workshop will cover techniques and approaches to statistical data visualization, and explore ways to use graphics in both research and presentation.The topics will include but are not limited to: Perception, Composition, Encoding, and so much more. Be ready to actively participate. Bring headphones.
Friday, Oct. 22, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Register here for the Unit for Data Science, Hayden Library event.
Mini-Workshops
Learn some of the basics of data science in these hands-on-mini-workshops. We will show you how to import data, build models, and interpret results using multiple techniques in the Python programming language. We will meet on the following Tuesdays from 10 - 11 a.m. (AZ time) in-person and virtually.
Sept. 7 - Python Basics: Intro to programming.
Sept. 14 - Linear regression: Build linear regression models in two different packages.
Sept. 21 - Neural network classification: A How to.
Sept. 28 - K-Means clustering: Build an unsupervised model.
Oct. 26 - Generalized regression: Approach logistic regression and higher order polynomials.
Nov. 2 - Gaussian process classification: A How to.
Nov. 9 - BIRCH clustering: Build an unsupervised model.
Join us on Zoom or in-person on the third floor of Hayden Library in the data science center (NW corner by large monitor).
Lab sessions
Our open labs provide an opportunity to understand concepts and develop skills in data science.
If you are not on our mailing list, please email Kerri.Rittschof@asu.edu to request to be added to receive information on upcoming events and the links to the sessions.
