2022-10-xx Presentation day
 
09:00 - 12:30 Presentations

During the CAS you ideally work on one or two datasets during all module works. You can

- bring your own dataset from research or work or private project
- or choose one from here : https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/index.php
- or choose one from here : https://www.kaggle.com/datasets

Not all datasets are equally well suited for all things to learn and practise in the CAS.

You are not supposed to read many books during this CAS, but of course you can. What you need to consult all the time is online documentation on all topics, google brings you there - and wikipedia of course.

This online book covers most of and more than Module 2.

Anja holds a phd in statistics from the University of Bern, loves data science and coaching.

PD Dr. Sigve Haug

Sigve studied physics in Germany, Spain and Norway. He has been involved in neutrino physics experiments and high energy frontier experiments, often with main focus on the computing challenges related to the large and distributed data from these experiments. Today he is working for the Albert Einstein Center for fundamental Physics and the Mathematical Institute of the University of Bern where is leading the Science IT Support unit.
