Join our workshop on Cluster Analysis in R which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series!
Here’s some more info:
Title: Cluster Analysis in R
Date: Thursday, June 6th, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)
Speaker: Sejal Davla is a neuroscientist and data scientist who works with industry and government clients on projects at the intersection of science, data, and policy. She received her PhD in neuroscience from McGill University in Canada, where her research identified new pathways in brain development and sleep. She is an advocate for open science and reproducibility and runs R programming workshops to promote best data practices.
Description: Some datasets are unlabeled without obvious classifiers. Unsupervised machine learning methods, such as clustering, allow finding patterns and homogeneous subgroups in unlabeled data. This workshop will cover the basics of cluster analysis and how to perform clustering using k-means and hierarchical clustering methods. The goal of the workshop is to help identify datasets for clustering, learn to visualize and interpret models, validate clusters, and highlight practical issues.

If you are not personally interested in attending, you can also contribute by sponsoring a participation of a student, who will then be able to participate for free. If you choose to sponsor a student, all proceeds will also go directly to organisations working in Ukraine. You can either sponsor a particular student or you can leave it up to us so that we can allocate the sponsored place to students who have signed up for the waiting list.
How can I sponsor a student?
- Go to https://bit.ly/3wvwMA6 or https://bit.ly/4aD5LMC or https://bit.ly/3PFxtNA and donate at least 20 euro (or 17 GBP or 20 USD or 800 UAH). Feel free to donate more if you can, all proceeds go to support Ukraine!

- Fill in the sponsorship form, attaching the screenshot of the donation receipt (please attach the screenshot of the donation receipt that was emailed to you rather than the page you see after the donation). You can indicate whether you want to sponsor a particular student or we can allocate this spot ourselves to the students from the waiting list. You can also indicate whether you prefer us to prioritize students from developing countries when assigning place(s) that you sponsored.
If you are a university student and cannot afford the registration fee, you can also sign up for the waiting list here. (Note that you are not guaranteed to participate by signing up for the waiting list).
You can also find more information about this workshop series, a schedule of our future workshops as well as a list of our past workshops which you can get the recordings & materials here.
Looking forward to seeing you during the workshop!
