Python data analysis and visualization

 

notebook

This tutorial will provide basic concepts of data processing and visualization. We will use multidimensional climate and geoscience datasets to demonstrate the simple statistical analysis and the plotting capabilities of Python. We will also cover the different libraries available in Python to work with large multidimensional arrays.

12:30 – 1:30Sunghye ChoIntroduction to Automatic Speech Recognition
slides and notebook
Have you ever wondered how Siri or Alexa understands what you say? In this tutorial, we will walk through very basics of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). At the end of the tutorial, we will learn how to run one of the state-of-the-art models, Whisper, on audio files and how to evaluate the model’s performance, using Python.

Image processing and Computer Vision with Deep Learning Tools

 

slides and notebook

In this tutorial, we will delve into how neural networks and machine learning frameworks can be harnessed to process and track images of microscopic objects. Our journey will commence with an exploration of DeepTrack 2.0, an extensive open-source deep-learning framework tailored for digital microscopy within the Python environment. The tutorial will then branch into the realm of 3D tracking, where we’ll explore the complexities of monitoring moving microscopic elements in a three-dimensional space and several caveats that come with this. Then, we’ll venture into label-free tracking, a particularly intricate tracking task. Finally, we’ll examine how this novel microscopy approach can unlock new insights into bacterial microecology, motility research, and the domain of active matter more generally
