Data analytics for engineering data using machine learning

Description

This three-day online workshop addresses the preparation, analysis and interpretation of numerical simulation data by machine learning methods. Besides the introduction of the most important concepts like clustering, dimensionality reduction, visualization and prediction, this course provides several practical hands-on tutorials using the python libraries numpy, scikit-learn and pytorch as well as the SCAI DataViewer (see also the SimExplore tool).

 

Learning outcomes

• Basic knowledge on important machine learning methods to analyze numerical simulation data.
• Moreover, practical experience in applying these methods.

 

Target audience

Researchers, developers and industrial end users interested in new ways to analyze and visualize numerical simulation data.

 

Location

Online course
Organizer: HLRS, University of Stuttgart, Germany
