DATA SCIENCE FOR ADVANCED LEARNERS:
KORALI

VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
January 19-21, 2022
10:00am-12:00pm EST
*REGISTRATION CLOSED BUT WAITLIST IS OPEN*

OVERVIEW

In this workshop we will focus on Bayesian inference as well as optimization
and sampling with application to the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey system of
non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs).  The first half of the
workshop will focus on the theoretical foundations for the problem of interest
and the second half will apply them using the Korali software from a sequential
and parallel perspective through the Python programming language.

Korali is a high-performance framework for Bayesian Uncertainty Quantification
(UQ), optimization, and reinforcement learning. Korali's multi-language
interface allows the execution of any type of computational model, either
sequential or distributed (MPI) using the C++ or Python programming languages.
Korali provides a simple interface that allows users to easily describe
statistical / deep learning problems and choose the algorithms to solve them.

SESSIONS

Session 1 (THEORY):
