The topics covered include the fundamental principles of deep learning, network analysis, topological data analysis, random matrix theory, small area estimation, causal inference, and health data analysis, among others. Each participant is expected to sign up for one course, which will be taught over a 3-day period. For all 6 courses we’re offering, please check out each proposal for the 3-day breakdown. Courses will run in the mornings or the afternoons over the 3-day period.
