This course will give an introduction to the concept of Neural Networks (NN) and Deep Learning. Topics covered will include: NN building blocks, including concepts such as neurons, activation functions, loss functions, gradient descent and back-propagation; Convolutional Neural Networks; Recursive Neural Networks; Autoencoders; and best practices when designing NNs,Snakemake BYOC (bring-your-own-code) workshop

As data analysis projects grow and change over time, it gets increasingly difficult to keep track of how the different parts of the data analysis fit together. Workflow management systems such as Snakemake Links to an external site. can be used to set up, perform and monitor defined sequences of computational tasks ("workflows"), thereby making data analyses reproducible and scalable. Snakemake was developed in the bioinformatics community and has some features that make it particularly well-suited for bioinformatic workflows. The NBIS Tools for reproducible research course is held twice a year and provides both an introduction to Snakemake and a tutorial on how to use it. This Snakemake BYOC (bring-your-own-code) workshop provides a follow-up to that introduction. Here, participants will get support from experienced bioinformaticians to A) convert their data analysis from a programming language such as Bash, R or Python into a Snakemake workflow, OR B) apply more advanced techniques to their existing Snakemake workflows. **Audience** Workshop open for PhD students (prioritized), postdocs, researchers and others who have previously participated in the [NBIS Tools for reproducible research course](https://uppsala.instructure.com/courses/82575) or with demonstrated experience in writing Snakemake workflows. **Fee** This online training event has no fee. However, if you confirm your participation but do not do so (no-show) you will be invoiced 2,000 SEK. Please note that NBIS cannot invoice individuals. By accepting to participate in the workshop, you will be agreeing to follow the NBIS Training Code of Conduct. Due to limited space, the workshop can accommodate a maximum of 12 participants. If we receive more applications, participants will be selected based on several criteria. Selection criteria include correct entry requirements, motivation to attend the workshop as well as gender- and geographical balance. This is a national workshop. The workshop is open for PhD students, postdocs, group leaders and core facility staff. We do accept applications from other countries, but give priority to applicants from Swedish universities prior to applicants from industry and academics from other countries. Please note that NBIS training events do not provide any formal university credits. The training content is estimated to correspond to a certain number of credits; however, the estimated credits are just guidelines. If formal credits are crucial, the student needs to confer with their home department before submitting a workshop application in order to establish whether the workshop is valid for formal credits or not.RaukR, Advanced R for Bioinformatics

In Life Sciences and Bioinformatics, the R programming language is pivotal for data transformation, statistical analyses, and crafting publication-ready visualizations. This workshop goes beyond the basics, offering participants a comprehensive understanding of the R ecosystem. We explore best coding practices, code profiling, delve into data wrangling intricacies, emphasize reproducible research and hands-on development of web apps using R. **Course materials** Course materials will be made available at the beginning of the workshop and will remain open and publicly accessible online for at least a year. You can check out the materials from 2023. **Sessions** Our daily schedule begins with a morning session from 08:30 to 12:30, starting with breakfast from 08:30 to 09:00 and a 30-minute break at 10:30. Lunchtime is from 12:30 to 13:30. The afternoon session follows, running from 13:30 to 17:00, with a 30-minute coffee break at 15:00. Please note that due to varying time zones, online guest lectures might occur after 17:00. Throughout the majority of sessions, our instructors and teaching assistants will be available to aid you with practical exercises and answer any queries you may have. **Selection** We can accomodate ~42 participants. Selection criteria include correct entry requirements, motivation to attend the workshop as well as gender and geographical balance. We do accept international applicants, but applicants affiliated to a Swedish institution are prioritized. Once the registration period concludes, we will review your application and notify you of our decision. If accepted, you will have three working days to confirm your participation. Failure to do so would imply your inability to attend, and we will proceed accordingly. Once you confirmed, our course administrator will proceed with invoicing. **Fee** The fee for academic participants is 8000 SEK subsidized by academic grants. Fee for non-academic participants is 16 000 SEK. **Warning** If you register and are admitted but fail to attend without a valid reason (sickness or urgent family matter), you will still be liable for the entire fee. **More info about the fee** _Included in the fee_ - Participation in lectures and workshops - Mingle reception with snacks and drinks - Daily breakfast/coffee, lunch and afternoon coffee during the workshop - One official course dinner - Surprise social activities _Not included in the fee_ - Accomodation - Travel to and from Visby - Daily dinnersFAIR training material by Design
