Workshops
Data scientist love building Shiny apps. It lets you create an interactive dashboard without the complexity of handling javascript or HTML. It also integrates well with other tools for data science as well. If you code in Python and you love Jupyter notebook, I will teach you how to make a “Shiny app” in Jupyter notebook with Python using Bokeh.
In this workshop, we will be using Rasa, an open source machine learning framework, to build a chatbot that will ask for an individual's contact details (compliant to GDPR) and for feedback for an event that they may have attended. Feedback will then be analyse for sentiment and reported in a basic web app.
In this workshop, through exercises, we will learn about (Deep) Reinforcement Learning and how to implement different strategies and train an agent to solve different tasks (or play games) in OpenAI Gym. For the consistency of the environment and make use of a free GPU, we will use Google Colaboratory (Google Account needed)
A step by step guide to making your first pull request (PR) in GitHub. As most open-source projects are hosted on GitHub, it will be the first thing you have to learn if you want to contribute to open-source projects. Also, you will have git setup and learn how to start using git.
