Presented by KNIME 

This learnathon is a mix between a hackathon and a workshop. It's like a workshop because we'll learn more about the data science cycle: data access, data blending, data preparation, model training, optimization, testing, and deployment. It's like a hackathon because we'll work in groups to hack a workflow-based solution to guided exercises.

The tool of choice is the open-source, GUI-driven KNIME Analytics Platform. Because KNIME is open, it offers great integrations with an IDE environment for R, Python; SQL, and Spark.We'll start with an introduction to KNIME Analytics Platform, followed by a short presentation about the data science cycle. After this presentation we split into three groups. Each group focuses on one of the three aspects of the data science cycle.Three zoom breakout rooms will be activated for this purpose. You go into the room for the group you sign up for (below) to attend the specific tutorial and exercises.There will be a KNIME data scientist in each breakout room to help you while you work on the exercises.  

Choose which group (Group 1, 2, or 3) you want to join.
 

Group 1 - Working on the raw data. Data access and data preparation.

Group 2 - Machine Learning. Which model shall I use? Which parameters?

Group 3 - I have a great model. Now what? The model deployment phase.

Dr. Satoru Hayasaka was trained in statistical analysis of various types of biomedical data. Since his doctoral training, he has taught several courses on data analysis geared toward non-experts and beginners. In recent years, he taught introductory machine learning courses to graduate students from different disciplines. Recently he joined KNIME as part of the evangelism team, and he continues teaching machine learning and data mining using KNIME Analytics Platform.

Wali Khan is a Solution Engineer at KNIME based out of Austin, Texas. His main focus is to help people operationalize their Machine Learning Models and analytics pipelines. Before KNIME Wali worked as a consultant at Oracle, holds a Masters Degree in Biomedical Engineering from University of Texas Arlington, and a Chemistry Degree from Texas A&M University.

Corey Weisinger is a Data Scientist with KNIME in Austin Texas. He studied Mathematics at Michigan State University focusing on Actuarial Techniques and Functional Analysis. Before coming to work for KNIME he worked as an Analytics Consultant for the Auto Industry in Detroit Michigan. He currently focuses on Signal Processing and Numeric Prediction techniques and is the Author of the Alteryx to KNIME guidebook.
