This new Short Course is thematic with your Training Programs and we welcome your trainees’ participation. Briefly, the purpose of this Short Course is to train junior researchers to apply machine learning methods to behavior quantitation and modeling. Key objectives include teaching the theoretical basis of machine learning and its applications to quantitative animal behavior analyses, offering hands-on training in experimental workflow, analysis tools and algorithms, showcasing key biological applications, and fostering organic collaborations and networking. There is substantial scholarship $ built into the grant and we are hoping to recruit a diverse and enthusiastic group of participants and we are prepared to meet economic/disadvantaged needs for participation.
More information is available on the website, including speaker and registration information as well as scholarship opportunities, and on the attached flyer.
