DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this course is to present researchers and scient
 ists with R implementation of Machine Learning methods. The first part of 
 the course will consist of introductory lectures on popular Machine Learni
 ng algorithms including unsupervised methods (Clustering\, Association Rul
 es) and supervised ones (Decision Trees\, Naive Bayes\, Random Forests and
  Deep Neural Network). Basic Machine Learning concepts such as training se
 t\, test set\, validation set\, overfitting\, bagging\, boosting will be i
 ntroduced as well as performance evaluation for supervised and unsupervise
 d methods.\n\nThe second part will consist of practical exercises such as 
 reading data\, using packages and building machine learning applications. 
 Different options for parallel programming will be shown using specific R 
 packages (parallel\, h2o\,…). For Deep Learning applications the Keras p
 ackage will be presented. The examples will cover the analysis of large da
 tasets and images datasets. Participants will use R on Cineca HPC faciliti
 es for practical assignments.\n\nSkills:\nAt the end of the course\, the s
 tudent will be expected to have acquired:\n    • the ability to perfor
 m basic operations on matrices and dataframes \n    • the ability to 
 manage packages\n    • the ability to navigate in the RStudio interfac
 e\n    • a general knowledge of Machine and Deep Learning methods\n  
   • a general knowledge of the most popular packages for Machine and De
 ep Learning\n    • a basic knowledge of different parallel programming
  techniques\n    • the ability to build machine learning applications 
 with large datasets and images datasets\n\nTarget audience:\nStudents and 
 researchers with different backgrounds\, looking for technologies and meth
 ods to analyze a large amount of data.\n\nPre-requisites:\nParticipants mu
 st have a basic statistics knowledge. Participants must also be familiar w
 ith basic Linux.\n\nGrant:\nThe course is FREE of charge.\nThe lunch for t
 he three days will be offered to all the participants and some grants are 
 available. The only requirement to be eligible is to be not funded by your
  institution to attend the course and to work or live in an institute outs
 ide the MILANO area. The grant  will be 300 euros for students working an
 d living outside Italy and 150 euros for students working and living in It
 aly (outside MILANO). Some documentation will be required and the grant wi
 ll be paid only after a certified presence of minimum 80% of the lectures.
 \n\nFurther information about how to request the grant\, will be provided 
 at the confirmation of the course: about 3 weeks before the starting date.
