D-Lab

This month's "welcome back" meetup & pizza social is hosted by the D-Lab! We'll meet in the D-Lab Collaboratory and learn about the D-Lab's services, trainings, and spaces. Plus, of course, opportunities to chat with other folks on campus about what they're doing with GIS & mapping.Read more about GIS & Mapping Community of Practice meetup

For this workshop, we'll provide an introduction to visualization with Python. We'll cover visualization theory and plotting with Matplotlib and Seaborn, working through examples in a Jupyter notebook.Read more about Python Data Visualization

Pandas is a Python package that provides fast, flexible, and expressive data structures designed to make working with 'relational' or 'labeled' data both easy and intuitive. It enables doing practical, real world data analysis in Python. In this workshop, we'll work with example data and go through...Read more about Python Data Wrangling and Manipulation with Pandas

This workshop is a four-part introductory series that will teach you R from scratch with clear introductions, concise examples, and support documents. You will learn how to download and install the open-sourced R Studio software, understand data and basic manipulations, import and subset data,...Read more about R Fundamentals: Parts 1-4

This workshop is a three-part introductory series that will teach you Stata from scratch with clear introductions, concise examples, and support documents.

Geospatial data are an important component of data visualization and analysis in the social sciences, humanities, and elsewhere. The R programming language is a great platform for exploring these data and integrating them into your research. This workshop focuses on fundamental operations for...Read more about CANCELED: R Geospatial Fundamentals: Raster Data

How can we use neural networks to create meaningful representations of words? The bag-of-words is limited in its ability to characterize text, because it does not utilize word context.Read more about CANCELED: Python Text Analysis: Word Embeddings

In this part, we study unsupervised learning of text data. This is a stand alone work that builds from the two-part text analysis series.Read more about CANCELED: Python Text Analysis: Topic Modeling

This workshop introduces students to scikit-learn, the popular machine learning library in Python, as well as the auto-ML library built on top of scikit-learn, TPOT. The focus will be on scikit-learn syntax and available tools to apply machine learning algorithms to datasets. No theory instruction...Read more about CANCELED: Python Machine Learning Fundamentals: Parts 1-2
