Course Machine Learning & Biostatistics Hackathon 2020

Machine Learning and BioStatistics is one of the topics with the biggest gaps in course availability and training material quality (according to ELIXIR survey results from 2019). That is why ELIXIR organizes a hackathon to prepare materials for practical training in this field. The materials will be designed following the policies and guidelines of the ELIXIR Training Platform.

The first part of the hackathon (12/10/2020) will be focused on drafting a framework for practical training materials, including defining training goals, expected outcomes, and participants’ profile. The second part (2/11/2020) will have the purpose of finalizing the materials and designing exercises for hands-on training.

Materials authored during the hackathon will be publicly available through GitHub, under a CC-BY license, to be reused both within and outside ELIXIR.
