{% comment %} See instructions in the comments below for how to edit specific sections of this workshop template. {% endcomment %}

{% comment %} HEADER

Edit the values in the block above to be appropriate for your workshop. If the value is not 'true', 'false', 'null', or a number, please use double quotation marks around the value, unless specified otherwise. And run 'make workshop-check' before committing to make sure that changes are good. {% endcomment %}

{% comment %} 8< ============= For a workshop delete from here =============

{% comment %} Check DC curriculum {% endcomment %}

{% if site.carpentry == "dc" %} {% unless site.curriculum == "dc-astronomy" or site.curriculum == "dc-ecology" or site.curriculum == "dc-genomics" or site.curriculum == "dc-geospatial" or site.curriculum == "dc-image" or site.curriculum == "dc-socsci" %}

It looks like you are setting up a website for a Data Carpentry curriculum but you haven't specified the curriculum type in the _config.yml file (current value in _config.yml: "{{ site.curriculum }}", possible values: dc-image, dc-astronomy, dc-ecology, dc-genomics, dc-socsci, or dc-geospatial). After editing this file, you need to run make serve again to see the changes reflected.
{% endunless %} {% endif %}

{% comment %} Check SWC curriculum {% endcomment %}

{% if site.carpentry == "swc" %} {% unless site.curriculum == "swc-inflammation" or site.curriculum == "swc-gapminder" %}

{% comment %} EVENTBRITE

This block includes the Eventbrite registration widget if 'eventbrite' has been set in the header. You can delete it if you are not using Eventbrite, or leave it in, since it will not be displayed if the 'eventbrite' field in the header is not set. {% endcomment %} {% if page.eventbrite %} Some adblockers block the registration window. If you do not see the registration box below, please check your adblocker settings.

General Information

{% comment %} INTRODUCTION

Edit the general explanatory paragraph below if you want to change the pitch. {% endcomment %}

{% if site.carpentry == "swc" %} {% include swc/intro.html %} {% elsif site.carpentry == "dc" %} {% include dc/intro.html %} {% elsif site.carpentry == "lc" %} {% include lc/intro.html %} {% endif %}

{% if site.pilot %} This is a hands-on introduction to the first steps in deep learning, intended for students and researchers who are familiar with...

  • machine learning, including data cleaning, train & test splits, type of problems (regression, classification), overfitting & underfitting, metrics (accuracy, recall, etc.)
  • Python programming, including the Pandas package, how to create functions, how to write loops, and experience with conditional logic

Please take the pre-workshop survey to verify you meet the prerequisites and to give the instructors a better understanding of learners' backgrounds.

The use of deep learning has seen a sharp increase of popularity and applicability over the last decade. While deep learning can be a useful tool for researchers from a wide range of domains, taking the first steps in the world of deep learning can be somewhat intimidating. This introduction aims to cover the basics of deep learning in a practical and hands-on manner, so that upon completion, you will be able to train your first neural network and understand what next steps to take to improve the model.

We start with explaining the basic concepts of neural networks, and then go through the different steps of a deep learning workflow. Learners will learn how to prepare data for deep learning, how to implement a basic deep learning model in Python with Keras, how to monitor and troubleshoot the training process and how to implement different layer types such as convolutional layers.

{% endif %}

{% comment %} AUDIENCE

Explain who your audience is. (In particular, tell readers if the workshop is only open to people from a particular institution. {% endcomment %} {% if site.carpentry == "swc" %} {% include swc/who.html %} {% elsif site.carpentry == "dc" %} {% include dc/who.html %} {% elsif site.carpentry == "lc" %} {% include lc/who.html %} {% endif %}

{% comment %} SURVEYS - DO NOT EDIT SURVEY LINKS {% endcomment %}

Surveys

Please be sure to complete these surveys before and after the workshop.

{% if site.carpentry == "incubator" %}

Pre-workshop Survey

Post-workshop Survey

{% elsif site.incubator_pre_survey or site.incubator_post_survey %}
WARNING: you have defined custom pre- and/or post-survey links for a workshop not configured for The Carpentries Incubator (the value of `curriculum` is not set to `incubator` in `_config.yml`). Please comment out the `incubator_pre_survey` and `incubator_post_survey` fields in `_config.yml` or, if this workshop is teaching a lesson in the Incubator, change the value of `carpentry` to `incubator`.
{% else %}

Pre-workshop Survey

Post-workshop Survey

{% endif %}

{% comment %} SCHEDULE

Show the workshop's schedule.

Small changes to the schedule can be made by modifying the schedule.html found in the _includes folder for your workshop type (swc, lc, or dc). Edit the items and times in the table to match your plans. You may also want to change 'Day 1' and 'Day 2' to be actual dates or days of the week.

For larger changes, a blank template for a 4-day workshop (useful for online teaching for instance) can be found in _includes/custom-schedule.html. Add the times, and what you will be teaching to this file. You may also want to add rows to the table if you wish to break down the schedule further. To use this custom schedule here, replace the block of code below the Schedule <h2> header below with {% include custom-schedule.html %}. {% endcomment %}

Schedule

{% if site.carpentry == "swc" %} {% include swc/schedule.html %} {% elsif site.carpentry == "dc" %} {% include dc/schedule.html %} {% elsif site.carpentry == "lc" %} {% include lc/schedule.html %} {% elsif site.carpentry == "incubator" %} Please check the lesson site for a list of lesson sections and estimated timings.

{% endif %}

{% comment %} Edit/replace the text above if you want to include a schedule table. See the contents of the _includes/custom-schedule.html file for an example of how one of these schedule tables is constructed. {% endcomment %}

{% if site.pilot %} The lesson taught in this workshop is being piloted and a precise schedule is yet to be established. The workshop will include regular breaks. Please contact the workshop organizers if you would like more information about the planned schedule. {% endif %}


{% comment %} SETUP

Delete irrelevant sections from the setup instructions. Each section is inside a 'div' without any classes to make the beginning and end easier to find.

This is the other place where people frequently make mistakes, so please preview your site before committing, and make sure to run 'tools/check' as well. {% endcomment %}

Setup

To participate in a {% if site.carpentry == "swc" %} Software Carpentry {% elsif site.carpentry == "dc" %} Data Carpentry {% elsif site.carpentry == "lc" %} Library Carpentry {% endif %} workshop, you will need access to software as described below. In addition, you will need an up-to-date web browser.

We maintain a list of common issues that occur during installation as a reference for instructors that may be useful on the Configuration Problems and Solutions wiki page.

{% comment %} For online workshops, the section below provides:

  • installation instructions for the Zoom client
  • recommendations for setting up Learners' workspace so they can follow along the instructions and the videoconferencing

If you do not use Zoom for your online workshop, edit the file _includes/install_instructions/videoconferencing.html to include the relevant installation instructions. {% endcomment %} {% if online != "false" %} {% include install_instructions/videoconferencing.html %} {% endif %}

{% comment %} These are the installation instructions for the tools used during the workshop. {% endcomment %}

{% if site.carpentry == "swc" %} {% include swc/setup.html %} {% elsif site.carpentry == "dc" %} {% include dc/setup.html %} {% elsif site.carpentry == "lc" %} {% include lc/setup.html %} {% elsif site.carpentry == "incubator" %} Please check the "Setup" page of the [lesson site]({{ site.incubator_lesson_site }}) for instructions to follow to obtain the software and data you will need to follow the lesson. Be sure to check your setup prior to the workshop — the earlier the better. If you need any assistance, please visit the Data Science Hub at Coding Meetup on Thursdays, 2:30-4:30pm. For appointments outside of Coding Meetup, please email endemann@wisc.edu. {% endif %}
