<h3 class="margin-20">Workshop 1 - Essentials of R for researchers</h3>
<p>
Are you a researcher looking to harness the full potential
of data analysis and visualization for your work? Join our
exclusive workshop on the "Essentials of R for Researchers"
and embark on a journey to become an R programming expert.
The Center for Data Science is to disseminate knowledge in
Data Science and Statistics among researchers, academics and
industry personnel. The center has been conducting workshops
for local and foreign students for more than six years now.
It has seen the necessity of educating and guiding young engineering
students and researchers on conducting essential research methods
using statistical software, R.

<h3 class="margin-20">Workshop 2 - Environmental Lifecyle assessment of buildings using Building-SAT- A cradle to grave sustainability assessment. </h3>
<p>
Climate change and rapid urbanization with growing population
have prompted an emerging interest on construction industries to
include more sustainable practices. To accomplish a net-zero carbon
building stock in 2050, direct and indirect building CO2 release
needs to be assessed and quantified. Thus, the assessment of global
warming potential of buildings, through life cycle assessment,
taking into account both the processes and materials, to promote
the use of more sustainable construction materials and processes
is timely. Different techniques associated with sustainability
assessment of built environments will be discussed through lectures
and interactive activities. An introduction to the life cycle
assessment of built environment will be given.
<br><br>
Different life cycle assessment tools available to calculate the global warming
potential of built environment will be shown with examples.
Building-SAT, the locally developed whole building sustainability
tool will be introduced (<a href="http://building-sat.com/">http://building-sat.com/</a>).
Also the methodology for estimate the operational energy using a
energy modelling software will be shared as a hands on session.
Finally, there will be a hands-on session to use Building-SAT tool
to assess the Global Warming Potential of a simple building.
Further a discussion of case studies and real-world examples of
successful LCA implementation in the building sector will be presented.

<h3 class="margin-20">Workshop 3 - Sequencing Success: A Hands-On Workshop in Deep Learning for Sequence-to-Sequence Models</h3>
<p>
This hands-on workshop focused on sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq)
learning, a popular deep learning technique used for various natural
language processing (NLP) tasks such as machine translation, speech
recognition, etc. The workshop aims to provide participants with a
comprehensive understanding of Seq2Seq models and equip them with
the necessary skills to implement and train their own models.
The workshop will cover theoretical and practical aspects of
Seq2Seq learning, enabling participants to apply this powerful
technique to real-world NLP problems.
<br><br>
The workshop will provide participants with hands-on experience
through interactive coding sessions in google collab cloud services.
So the participants only need to bring laptops with access to the internet.

<h3 class="margin-20">Workshop 4 - MLOPS - Productionize and Operationalize Machine Learning Models with Modern Engineering Practices</h3>
<p>
MLOps, short for Machine Learning Operations, entails an
organizational transformation that leverages the synergy
between individuals, processes, and technology to ensure
the efficient delivery of machine learning solutions. It
emphasizes the need for robustness, scalability, reliability,
and automation throughout the entire machine-learning lifecycle.
<br><br>
During this workshop, we will guide you through contemporary
engineering techniques and industry best practices for scaling
up and operationalizing machine learning models in enterprise
and business-critical environments. In this workshop, we will
be focusing on both theoretical principles and practical
implementation, encompassing vital aspects such as model
reproducibility, validation, deployment, and monitoring.
