VLab Forum Members,
The first Roebber Lecture Series presentation has been rescheduled from February 3rd at 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM (EST) to February 9th at 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM (EST). The presentation still features a talk by Dr. Paul Roebber titled "Data Requirements for Machine Learning". We hope you can attend.
To participate in the lecture, please register for the webinar (No need to sign up again if you signed up for the original date).
Abstract:
The National Weather Service (NWS) has a long history of leveraging available data in support of weather forecasting efforts. These efforts are ongoing and with the advent of more advanced techniques (e.g., machine learning), the NWS is in the process of determining where and how to apply them.
This series of four lectures is designed to provide some background on these techniques. No assumptions will be made regarding the statistical background of participants. The first lecture will cover: (1) understanding your data, with demonstrations of techniques for visualizing and measuring data characteristics; (2) examples of different machine learning techniques; (3) discussion of the data requirements for effective machine learning, using the above techniques.
