Using MATLAB and Python Together
September 28, 2022; 9:00-10:00 am PST
You’ve heard it before - Python vs MATLAB vs R vs <insert any other language>… but in reality, programming languages are often used together! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to use MATLAB and Python together with practical examples. Specifically, you’ll learn how to:
  • Call Python libraries from MATLAB
  • Call user-defined Python commands, scripts, and modules
  • Manage and convert data between languages
  • Package MATLAB algorithms to be called from Python

Workshop: How do I get started with Machine Learning?
October 27, 2021; 8:45-9:30 am PST
​Data Science workflows typically entail using Machine Learning.
Machine Learning can provide insight into various datasets and can assist with automating various types of analysis.
In this workshop you, will explore a process for getting started with implementing Machine Learning interactively to train a model to predict tsunami intensity and implement other relevant tasks.
