Microcredential in Applied Data Analytics and Machine Learning with Python

Posted on by Matt Egginton

Applications are open for our new microcredential!

With 24 hours of class time over six weeks, self-study materials and an independent study project, our Microcredential in Applied Data Analytics and Machine Learning with Python will develop in-demand skills, build practical experience, boost professional efficiency and help advance careers by bridging foundational knowledge with advanced tools and methods. 

Through hands-on sessions and guided exercises, participants will learn to explore and transform data, communicate findings effectively through visualizations, and implement machine learning algorithms using Python to gain actionable insights.

Asynchronous modules provide valuable training in coding best practices and technical project management to enhance collaborative and efficient workflows. This program builds on foundational skills to enable more elaborate analyses, improving both technical expertise and practical problem-solving abilities.

Participants should have completed our Microcredential in Practical Foundations for Data Analytics, or have equivalent experience. 

The course runs from March 24th through April 30th, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00-5:00pm Atlantic. 

The deadline to apply is February 23rd. 

Support for COVID-19 Research Projects

Posted on by Matt Egginton

The Compute Canada Federation (CCF) is pleased to be able to provide advanced research computing (ARC) support for COVID-19 focused research.

If your project is related to COVID-19 and you could benefit from compute resources and support, please reach out to us. This support could include:

  • Providing access to cloud resources, high-performance clusters, storage or boosting your job priority
  • Consulting in high-performance computing (HPC), data management, data analysis, machine learning, and visualization
  • Connecting you to Canadian scientists from other research areas and institutions to further collaborations.

The CCF is committed to supporting COVID-19 research. We are here to help.

To access these resources, please email support@computecanada.ca with “COVID-19” in the subject line. Include a brief explanation of the type of support you need and a brief description (2-3 sentences) of how your project relates to COVID-19.

We understand that users with Resource Allocation Competition allocations (current and new ones starting April 1, 2020) may choose to repurpose the allocations for COVID-19 research. We would ask that you reach out, using the email address provided above, and let us know your plans to enable us to most efficiently manage demands on our resources.

Please share this information with your colleagues, especially those who are not current Compute Canada users but could benefit from ARC resources.
