Study Group Description:<\/strong> The Scientific Programming Study Group at Simon Fraser University, or SciProg for short, is dedicated to building a community of researchers who perform computational data analysis as part of their academic work. SciProg promotes skill sharing and collaboration by (1) organizing one-hour interactive workshops covering a wide range of software tools, (2) providing Q&A sessions for peer-to-peer assistance and collaboration, and (3) bringing researchers together at social events like Hacky Hours.\u00a0All are welcome to this study group, regardless of scientific research area, affiliation or training level.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Current plans:<\/strong> We are currently filling up our spring program. So far, we plan on continuing a series on machine learning in Python that we kicked off this month. There seems to be considerable demand for machine learning and we are lucky to have found a number of excellent instructors to lead workshops on the topic. We also typically cover R and its many packages in our workshops. Additionally, in association with the Library Research Commons, the Research Bazaar (or ResBaz) is scheduled to run on February 1-3, 2017<\/span><\/span>. It’ll feature a number of talks and workshops, including 2-day workshops on Python programming and visual analytics. It was a success last year and we look forward to seeing it happen again in the new year.<\/div>\n
