Big Data, Data Science and Deep Learning for Statistician (ADDED FEE) — Professional Development Continuing Education Course
ASA, Quality and Productivity Section, Section on Physical and Engineering Sciences
Instructor(s): Ming Li, Amazon; Hui Lin, Netlify
With recent big data, data science and deep learning revolution, enterprises ranging from FORTUNE 100 to startups across the world are hungry for data scientists and machine learning scientists to bring actionable insight from the vast amount of data collected. In the past a couple of years, deep learning has gained traction in many application areas and it becomes an essential tool in data scientist’s toolbox. In this course, participant will develop a clear understanding of the big data cloud platform, technical skills in data sciences and machine learning, and especially the motivation and use cases of deep learning through hands-on exercises. We will also cover the “art” part of data science and machine learning to guide participants to learn typical agile data science project flow, general pitfalls in data science and machine learning, and soft skills to effectively communicate with business stakeholders. The big data platform, data science, and deep learning overviews are specifically designed for audience with statistics education background. This course will prepare statisticians to be successful data scientists and machine learning scientist in various industries and business sectors with deep learning as focuses.

Design and Analysis of Experiments That Incorporate Simulator Platforms (ADDED FEE) — Professional Development Continuing Education Course
ASA, Section on Physical and Engineering Sciences
Instructor(s): Thomas Santner, The Ohio State University; Brian J. Williams, Los Alamos National Laboratory
Deterministic simulators (``simulators'') based on micro-level mathematical descriptions of the physics or biology of a system are in the forefront of innovations for studying many engineering, biomechanics, and biological systems. This course will provide statistical tools to design and analyze experiments utilizing simulators so as to identify the important factors controlling a given system, to determine the manner in which the factors affect the system, and to optimize the system. The course describes methods for experiments using data from either a simulator-only study or combined data from a physical system and a simulator of the system. The course contains four sections. The first three sections provide tools to design and analyze simulator-only studies; the last uses the material of the first three sections to perform Bayesian calibration analysis using physical/simulator data. The first section provides methods for prediction based on given training data. The second section shows how to design computer experiments. The third section describes methods for conducting ``sensitivity analyses" to identify the influential inputs to a simulator. The final section provides tools to conduct a Bayesian calibration analysis. This course is based on the Second Edition of the book ``The Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments" by Santner, Williams, and Notz (Springer Verlag).
