• Labs:
  • Getting started with popular ML libraries like Scikit-Learn.
  • Hands-on pipeline on regression and classification problems.

2. Introduction to Deep Learning

• Overview:
  • Deep Learning vs. Traditional Machine Learning.
  • Neural Networks and their magic: How do they work?
  • Popular architectures: ANN, CNN..
• Labs:
  • Building a Neural Network using TensorFlow/Keras.
  • Training models on images.

3. Introduction to Data Visualization in Data Science

• Overview:
  • Importance of visualization in the Data Science pipeline.
  • Types of visualizations: From bar charts to complex visual analytics.
  • Tools and libraries: Matplotlib, Seaborn, and beyond.
• Labs:
  • Hands-on demo on creating insightful visualizations.
  • Interactive plots and dashboards.

Instructions for Setup

Using Ibex

1. Connect to Ibex

First, establish a connection to Ibex using your KAUST username:

$ ssh 'kaust_username'@glogin.ibex.kaust.edu.sa

Replace 'kaust_username' with your actual KAUST username.

2. Cloning the Repository

Begin by cloning this repository using the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/A-Halimi/Introduction-to-AI-workshop-series.git

Ensure you replace 'repo' with the actual link to the GitHub repository.

3. Requesting Resources and Running Jupyter Notebook

After cloning the repository, request the necessary resources using the command below:

$ srun --gpus=1 --time=03:00:00 --resv-ports=1 --reservation=AI_Workshop2 --pty /bin/bash -l run_ai_env_jupyter.sh

Once the resources are allocated, the Jupyter notebook environment should be activated and ready for use.
