Machine learning has become widely popular in fields like computer vision, natural language processing, and speech recognition, often performing tasks better than humans. A fundamental building block of many of these algorithms is a neural network known as a multilayer perceptron. In this tutorial we will discuss how to construct these networks and how to train them using back propagation…
Mike Thompson, the Managing Director and CEO of First Analytics, will be giving a seminar on how machine learning and mathematics are used to handle large data analytics programs at First Analytics.
Kitware researchers Dr. Rachel Clipp and Dr. Matt Brown will talk about their transition from academic research to R&D at a private company as well as some of their active projects.

Profs. Ilse Ipsen, Ralph Smith, and Mansoor Haider will provide their insight on experiences in academic job hiring. This panel will provide graduate students interested in careers in academia with useful advice on job interviews and the job market in academia.
How do we know that we can trust our machine learning models? How do we detect when an adversary is exploiting our machine learning solutions? How does the explainability of machine learning models help the customers of such models versus helping the adversaries of such models? In this talk we will examine recent issues in Machine…

Dustin Kapraun attained degrees in mathematics (B.S., 1998), physics (M.S., 2002), and applied mathematics (Ph.D., 2014), all from North Carolina State University. After finishing the Ph.D., he completed two postdoctoral research appointments at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Center for Computational Toxicology, during which he developed physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models for human…
Machine learning has blown up in popularity in the past decade, with applications from healthcare to self-driving cars, being used to create art, play video games, and act as customer service representatives. One of the most common and useful tools for these applications are neural networks: universal function approximators. This interactive workshop is meant for…
Congratulations, you are graduating with a PhD! You have done fantastic work in your thesis and are ready to take on the world. What is going to happen now? Should you go to industry or academia? You probably heard a lot about both job choices. In this lecture, the speakers, Andrea Klaiber-Langen and Vakhtang Putkaradze,…
