There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Course Description: Informatics is the use of computational tools (e.g. AI, machine learning) to access and make sense of data. Materials Informatics has the potential to accelerate scientific inquiry and support novel insights. However, informatics tools are typically marketed to the biological sciences, financial sector, and “Big Tech”---it is not immediately clear how to use “cat-detector technology” to support serious materials science! This hands-on workshop will help material scientists use programming-based informatics tools to create reproducible data workflows, automate tedious data extraction, visualize data for exploration, and apply AI/ML models for predictive capabilities.
Topics Covered: (Coding) Python & Jupyter notebooks; (Data extraction) Tabula, WebPlotDigitizer; (Data handling) Pandas / Grama; (Visualization) Plotnine / Plotly; (Modeling) Over/under-fitting, cross-validation, domain of applicability, active learning.
