Title: Machine Learning workflow with tidymodels in R
Date: Thursday, July 27th, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)
Speaker: Kelly Bodwin is an Associate Professor of Statistics and Data Science at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo). She received a BS in Statistics from Harvard University followed by a PhD in Statistics and Operations Research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her current research focus is software development of tools for education and for unsupervised machine learning. Kelly also works on collaborative data science projects in the biological sciences, social sciences, agriculture, and the humanities. She teaches upper- and lower-division courses in statistics and data science, usually with a focus on computing and/or predictive modeling and machine learning.
Description: This workshop will give a first introduction to the {tidymodels} packages and framework. If you’ve been wondering what the buzz is about, but you haven’t found the time to take your first steps on your own, this workshop is for you! We’ll mainly focus on the core workflow of a {tidymodels} analysis, using a few simple models as examples. Then we’ll practice automatic cross-validation, tuning, and model selection using {tidymodels} shortcuts, through a real data example. Attendees are expected to have a basic working knowledge of R and tidyverse syntax; as well as a basic understanding of predictive modeling, e.g. linear regression and decision trees.

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/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).
