This year's MLMR Boot Camp & Workshop 2019 will be held from August 5th - 9th, 2019. The theme of Friday's workshop will be on Autonomous Materials Research.

Check back around mid April for the Registration Link.

Bootcamp (Days 1-4)

Four days of lectures and hands-on exercises covering a range of data analysis topics from introduction to python and data pre-processing to advanced machine learning analysis techniques. Example topics include:

  • Identifying important features in complex/high dimensional data
  • Visualizing high dimensional data to facilitate user analysis.
  • Identifying the 'descriptors' that best predict variance in functional properties.
  • Quantifying similarities between materials using complex/high dimensional data
  • Identifying the most informative experiment to perform next.

Hands-on exercises will include practical use of machine learning tools on real materials experimental data (scalar values, spectra, micrographs, etc.)

Scientists will also demonstrate how they performed recently published research, from loading and preprocessing data to analyzing and visualizing results, all in Jupyter notebooks. Day 4 will include hand-on exercises on how to use the AFLOW database online.

Please bring a poster showcasing your data for the poster session titled Machine Learn This! (evening of Day 3).

Day 5: Invited Symposium on: Autonomous systems for materials research

Travel

The University of Maryland is located less than 2 miles or about a 30 minute walk from the College Park Metro station, located on the WMATA green line. It is also located near three major airports that serve the Baltimore-Washington, DC area.

Registration

Registration for the Machine Learning for Materials Research Boot Camp & Workshop on Autonomous Materials Research to be held August 5 - 9, 2019 at the University of Maryland includes attendance to program sessions, meeting materials, an Opening Reception on Monday evening, a Poster Reception & Banquet Dinner on Wednesday evening, and daily breakfast, lunch and refreshment breaks Monday through Friday.

General Attendee $500
Student Attendee $300

Poster Presenter Information

The annual poster session on Wednesday evening will be titled "Machine Learn This!" Bring a poster with your favorite/latest work*, and we will discuss how it can be analyzed using machine learning. Posters can be on any material related topic. Posters can begin to be set up after lunch on Wednesday and must be taken down at the conclusion of the Banquet Dinner. Easels will be provided.
*Registrants will be asked if they plan to present a poster during the Poster Reception on Wednesday via this online registration form.
