By DKZ.2R: Introduction to Machine Learning with Python and Scikit-Learn

As part of our “Trainings” work package, the DKZ.2R creates, curates and presents a variety of free trainings, seminars and courses. Our next offering will be a one and a half day carpentries-style workshop on basic machine learning using python and scikit-learn, to be presented at RWTH Aachen University on 24th and 25th of July, 2025. The workshop will cover the following topics:

• What is Machine Learning / Why bother?
• Supervised Methods (Regression / Classification)
• Ensemble Methods
• Unsupervised Methods (Clustering / Dimensionality Reduction)
• Neural Networks
• Ethics and Implications of Machine Learning

Workshop material is available online and will be presented by instructors who will walk you through the steps and are available for questions throughout the event. If you are interested in taking part in the workshop, you can sign up here. Registration will close one day before the event although we recommend registering as early as possible as there are limited spots available.

All workshop material will also be made available online on GitHub.

A basic familiarity with Python is expected, including writing for loops, conditional statements, using functions, and importing libraries.
