Day 1, March 29th (Learn)
Please install the required software and datasets prior to the tutorials.
8:30 - 9:00 : Coffee
9:00–10:00 : NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib, an introduction to numerical analysis with Python. This tutorial is aimed at those familiar with Python, but who have not used NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib extensively before.
10:00–11:30 : scikit-image, image processing in Python. We introduce the scikit-image library, demonstrate its various capabilities, and do several hands-on exercises to practice its use.
11:30–12:00 : Dask for parallel processing.
12:00–1:00 : Lunch (on your own)
1:00–2:30 : ImageJ, image processing in Java. We will explore ImageJ and its SciJava interface with examples in Python and Clojure.
2:30–4:00 : Vani Mandava from Microsoft Research will present image processing use-cases of the Azure cloud.
4:00–5:00 : TensorFlow and Keras. Deep neural networks in Python. In this tutorial we learn how to train a neural network using the TensorFlow library, and how to then apply it to scientific data.
