EuroCC AI for Science Bootcamp (online)

Contents

During this online bootcamp, participants will learn how to apply AI tools, techniques, and algorithms to real-life problems. Participants will be introduced to the critical concepts of deep neural networks, how to build deep learning models, and how to measure and improve the accuracy of your models. Participants will also learn essential data pre-processing techniques to ensure a robust machine-learning pipeline. This online bootcamp is a hands-on learning experience where instructors/teaching assistants guide you.
