Data analytics for engineering data using machine learning

As part of the EXCELLERAT P2 training program, Fraunhofer SCAI in cooperation with HLRS offers a three-day workshop on data analytics for simulation data using machine learning.

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).

This course is a joint training event of EuroCC@GCS, the German National Competence Centres for High-Performance Computing, and EXCELLERAT P2 project. It is organized in the framework of the EuroCC2 and CASTIEL2 "Training Sprint" initiative.

Learning outcomes

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