Lunch & Learn on Brain Networks 1/22/2020

In this session, Dr. Michael Mannino will describe and show how “The Virtual Brain,” a neuroinformatics package, simulates the human brain, using a computational model that explores the dynamics of large-scale brain networks, and information flow between different brain regions underpinning cognitive processes like working memory, attention, and perception. He will also discuss other conceptual issues about the use of simulation and computation in neuroscience. Read more “Lunch & Learn on Brain Networks 1/22/2020” →

How to Build a Data Analysis Pipeline 3/19/2018

In this LUNCH & LEARN session, we will examine the opportunities for decision making while building a data analysis pipeline and follow the consequences of those decisions for the interpretability of the results. In addition, we will dive into examples of various types of bias, as well as examples of assumptions made in data collection, in implementation and in statistical modeling.

Lunch & Learn on IoT and Sensor Networks 11/9/16

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become a buzzword in both the research community and popular parlance in recent times. From Smart Cities to internet-connected appliances, the IoT has implications well beyond the technological and engineering fields. In this session of the IDSC Lunch and Learn series “Internet of Things (IoT) and Sensor Networks at UM (What is IoT and what do I do with it?)”, please join IDSC Director of Advanced Computing Joel Zysman to learn about current IoT based projects hosted at the University of Miami and the various data services available to the UM research community in support of sensor networks.

Big Data Lunch & Learn, Friday 5/27/2016

We are in the era of Big Data. Data is being generated by everything around us all the time. The extreme popularity of social media pushes the scale of data even higher in volume, speed and variety. It becomes more and more critical to develop and apply new big data technologies to collect, process, understand data in a super efficient way. New big data systems and analytic algorithms have been developed and deployed extensively in industrial and academic areas. This free Lunch and Learn session (open to UM Faculty, Staff, and Students) will start with an overview of the big data technologies in Hadoop eco-system and the popular tools in big data collection, processing and analysis. It then presents the basics of Hadoop MapReduce, the parallel computing platform which make massive scalability possible. Read more “Big Data Lunch & Learn, Friday 5/27/2016” →

Smart Cities Lunch & Learn, Thursday 12/3/2015

Smart Cities, Big Data and Communities: Reasoning from the Viewpoint of Attractors In what sense is a city smart? There are established entities defining this rich area of cross-disciplinary studies, and they refer to social, technical, economic and political factors that keep evolving, thus offering opportunities for constant refinement of the concept of smart city. The emerging properties are mostly contextual, and affect urban data types and their capacity to form complex information systems. Read more “Smart Cities Lunch & Learn, Thursday 12/3/2015” →
