        Fundamental: Fundamentals of Scientific Metadata / day 1 5h online

        online

        In this course we will look at the intricate relationship between (digital) research data, metadata and knowledge, discuss why metadata is critical in today’s research, as well as explain some of the technologies and concepts related to structured machine-readable metadata.

        Have you ever struggled to make sense of scientific data provided by a collaborator - or even understanding your own data 5 months after publication? Do you see difficulties in meeting the data description requirements of your funding agency? Do you want your data to have lasting value, but don’t know how to ensure that?

        Precise and structured description of research data is key for scientific exchange and progress - and also for the recognition of your effort in data collection. The solution: make your data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable by describing them with metadata.

        You will learn:

        • about the differences between and the importance of data & metadata
        • to annotate your research data with structured metadata
        • to find and evaluate a suitable metadata framework and data repository
        • to use basic Markdown / JSON / XML
        • which tools are already available to level up your metadata annotation game
        • why structured metadata is important and how it can increase your scientific visibility

        HIDA offices and online

        HIDA Hub, Friedrichstraße 171, 10117 Berlin

        The purpose of navigation is to determine the position, velocity, and orientation of manned and autonomous platforms, humans, and animals. Obtaining accurate navigation commonly requires fusion between several sensors, such as inertial sensors and global navigation satellite systems, in a model-based nonlinear estimation framework. Recently, data-driven approaches applied in various fields show state-of-the-art performance, compared to model-based methods. In this talk, we address data-driven based navigation algorithms, recently derived at the autonomous navigation and sensor fusion lab. The purpose of those algorithms is to enhance common navigation and estimation tasks and open new possibilities for accurate and robust navigation. Data driven inertial navigation topics included in this talk will highlight hybrid learning and end to end learning approaches for different platforms and applications such as: pedestrian dead reckoning with inertial sensors, quadrotor dead recooking, learning vehicle trajectory uncertainty by hybrid models, and autonomous underwater vehicle navigation.

        This lecture will take place in a hybrid format: We will stream the talk via Zoom from our HIDA offices in Berlin-Mitte.

        This is an hands-on introduction to the first steps in Deep Learning, intended for researchers who are familiar with (non-deep) Machine Learning.

        The use of Deep Learning has seen a sharp increase of popularity and applicability over the last decade. While Deep Learning can be a useful tool for researchers from a wide range of domains, taking the first steps in the world of Deep Learning can be somewhat intimidating.

        We start with explaining the basic concepts of neural networks, and then go through the different steps of a Deep Learning workflow. Learners will learn how to prepare data for deep learning, how to implement a basic Deep Learning model in Python with Keras, how to monitor and troubleshoot the training process and how to implement different layer types such as convolutional layers.

      POSTPONED: Intermediate: Cooperation HMC + Helmholtz Imaging: Imaging Metadata 3h online

      online

      Metadata for scientific images is crucial for the success of any imaging experiment. What are metadata, where do you find them, how do you exploit them? The use of metadata in imaging highly depends on the domain. In some research areas metadata is already a well established standard while others scribble them in their notebook.

      Here we will give an introduction to metadata in imaging, using some use cases as examples, and show you some hands on examples how to deal with them in python.

      Agenda:

      • What is metadata?
      • Imaging Modalities in the case studies
      • Case Study - Photon and Neutron Science Imaging
      • Case Study - Oceanic Imaging
      • Case Study - Medical Imaging
      • Hands-on: Jupyter notebook for image metadata

      Basic Python knowledge will help you to follow the hands-on (but it is not mandatory).
      If you want to learn more about metadata, we invite you to take a look at HMCs training material collection: https://helmholtz-metadaten.de/en/hmc-office/training-material-collection

        Helmholtz Entrepreneurs: From Idea to I did 2h online

        online

        What is entrepreneurial thinking and why does it matter?

        Entrepreurial thinking is a way of thinking and refers to the capacity to act upon opportunities and ideas, and to transform them into value for others. It is founded upon creativity, critical thinking and problem solving, taking initiative and perseverance and the ability to work collaboratively in order to plan and manage projects that are of cultural, social or financial value.

        Why does it matter? Businesses and employers across all sectors presuppose the academic and technical excellence of graduates. However, they must increasingly differentiate and identify future employees based on core competencies and skills, such as creative problem-solving, teamwork, understanding of risk and overall resilience. In many countries, however, academic institutions are very slow to adjust, partly because traditional career advancement in academia is mostly dependent on research activity. In the same way as labour markets and workplaces are undergoing rapid change, higher education and research institutions need to adjust in order to stay relevant. This requires entrepreneurial thinking among students, researchers and staff alike.

        This workshop is based on experiential and action-based learning and will give participants a short, hands-on introduction on what it means to think entrepreneurially and how it may be useful in career development.

        HIDA lecture: What is Health? Taking a Non Dualist Multi-Scale Approach to Studying Adaptive Immune Interactions 1h

        The reductive approach which sees health as the rejection of the other - be it cancer or pathogens is false. As we learn more about the individual characteristics of cells in the body and the variable forms of immune responses it becomes ever clearer that we need a new paradigm of study one that considers open systems of interactions across scales of biology rather than defining sharp borders of good and bad health outcomes. The immune system is comprised of multivariate B cells and T cells. To develop these repertiores they must first be tested for some level of activity. They are then activated during an immune response. Most commonly this secondary activation is seen to be by pathogens. However, it is becoming every clearer that these are not the only events that interest or influence are immune repertiores and their role in promoting health. The immune system also helps to cultivate and moderate the commensal bacteria in our gut and is a key factor in the modulation of cancer and autoimmunity. Setting goals and borders for the immune system is thus not an effective way to understand what it is doing. Instead we should study as far as we can the processes of immune interaction and change. In this lecture I will present our attempts to charecterize how the genome of B cell receptors encodes the potential for change in the adaptive immune system and how this is translated into actual patterns of diversity, implemented in a specific immune responses. I hope these ideas and findings will lead to further questions and help spark new conversations and research projects.

        This lecture will take place via Zoom.

        Advanced: Introduction to Interpretable Machine Learning 4h online

        online

        During this course participants will get an introduction to the topic of Explainable AI (XAI). The goal of the course is to help participants understand how XAI methods can help uncover biases in the data or provide interesting insights. After a general introduction to XAI, the course goes deeper into state-of-the-art model agnostic interpretation techniques as well as a practical session covering these techniques. Finally, we will focus on two model specific post-hoc interpretation methods, with hands-on training covering interpretation of random forests and neural networks with imaging data to learn about strengths and weaknesses of these standard methods used in the field.

        Intermediate: Introduction to Napari 4h online

        online

        It is recommended to take a Python-Basics Course before. For example from the first week of this Summer Academy.

        In this course we will introduce image processing with Python, Jupyter lab and Napari. Students will learn how to process images interactively in Napari and afterwards how to replicate the same results in Jupyter notebooks. Additionally, the students will get an idea how to export tables of measurements and plot results in Jupyter notebooks. The notebooks can then be conserved and allow reproducible image data science mid-/long-term. We will use Python libraries such as numpy, scipy, scikit-image, pandas and matplotlib. Furthermore, GPU-accelerated image processing using pyclesperanto for processing 3D data will be introduced as well.

        Attendees who attend the course should go through the installation instructions provided on this website:
        https://www.napari-hub.org/plugins/devbio-napari#installation

        In case of issues with the installation, attendees can reach out any time – before the course - by opening a thread on https://image.sc and tagging @haesleinhuepf . Or consider joining the session at 9:30 to solve installation issues.

        This course is an excelent follow up to the lecture series Imaging - from Organisms to Molecules runing this summer term. Participants of the lecture will be given preference in participation.
