SUMMARY:La Serena School for Data Science 2024: Applied Tools for Data-driven Sciences
DESCRIPTION:August 19-29, 2024\nLa Serena – Chile\n \nThe 2024 School will be held August 19-29, 2024\nApplications are closed.\nEligible students include advanced undergraduates and early graduate students\nFor more details, please check this link.\n \n[button link=”http://lssds.aura-astronomy.org/winter_school/” type=”big” newwindow=”yes”] School website[/button]\n \nThe volume and complexity of astronomical data continues to grow as the current generation of surveys come online (PanSTARRS, Dark Energy Survey, VISTA). Astronomers will need to work with giga, tera and even petabytes of data in real time (LSST). This poses the challenges of developing and using new tools for data discovery, access, and analysis. At the same time, there are new opportunities for interdisciplinary research in applied mathematics, statistics, machine learning, crowd-sourcing, etc. Astronomy provides a sand-box where scientists can come together from diverse fields to address common challenges within the “Big Data” paradigm.\nThe LA SERENA SCHOOL FOR DATA SCIENCE: Applied Tools for Data-driven Sciences will be an intensive 10-day program of interdisciplinary lectures focused on applied tools for handling big astronomical data. Participants will be instructed in how astronomical data are processed, accessed and analyzed, including reduction pipelines, databases, and scientific programming. In addition, working with data from other disciplines, such as bioinformatics, is also introduced. The School will be taught by an international and interdisciplinary group of professors who will use real data and examples. Participants will work on team-based projects and be provided training and access to the Chilean National Laboratory for High Performance Computing (NLHPC) located at the University of Chile’s Center for Mathematical Modeling ( https://www.cmm.uchile.cl ).\n\n\n Students eligible for scholarships include advanced undergraduates and early graduate students in any US or Chilean institutions, Ecuadorian (CEDIA members) and Latin American institutions.\n\n\n Please, read the information about the 2024 school program and registration process.\n\n\nLecture topics include:\n\nImage analysis\nDatabases\nStatistical tools applied to large data sets\nMachine Learning\nCloud Computing\nDeep Learning\n\nThe Schools take place annually in August on the AURA Observatory campus in La Serena, Chile. Students from different disciplines are encouraged to participate, including (but not limited to) astronomy, physics, computer science, statistics, mathematics, biology medical informatics. There is a registration fee for participants, which covers room and board (except dinners) and international travel to La Serena. However, full scholarships that cover the whole school cost will be available for most participants from the U.S. and Chile thanks to the support of the U.S. NSF and our partners in Chile. Thanks to the support from CEDIA, full scholarships will be available to students in Ecuadorian universities members of CEDIA. In addition, thanks to the Center for Mathematical Modeling (CMM/UChile), full scholarships will be available to students in Latin American universities. See the annual program page for more information.\nImportant Dates\n\nRegistration Opens: January 10\nProgram Announcement: Feb 2024\nRegistration Deadline: March 31\nAcceptance Notifications: mid Jun 2024\nProgram Dates: August 19 to 29\n\n \nPrincipal Support\nPrimary support for the LSSDS has been provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Chilean National Research and Development Agency (ANID).\nParticipating Institutions\n\nNSF’s NOIRLab\nAURA Observatory in Chile\nUniversity of Chile / Center for Mathematical Modeling ( https://www.cmm.uchile.cl )\nthe Chilean National Laboratory for High Performance Computing (NLHPC)\nUniversity of La Serena\nNIC Chile\nREUNA\nCEDIA (Ecuador)\nRedCLARA\nCentro de Informatica Médica y Telemedicina (CIMT)\nMillennium Institute of Astrophysics (MAS)\n\n \nScientific Organizing Committee\n\nCo-Chair: Matthew Graham (Caltech)\nCo-Chair: Amelia Bayo (ESO)\nCo-Chair: Mauricio Cerda (U.
