Data Science Summer School 2023
Knowledge and skills in Data Science are becoming indispensable for researchers of all disciplines. Especially young researchers profit from knowing about the scope and application areas of Data Science in scientific work in specific and across different disciplines. Furthermore, they must understand the belonging implications for scientific inquiries, and the skills required by a data scientist to be productive in a world deluged by data.
The Georg-August-Universität Göttingen is pleased to host an International Summer School on Data Science this year again. For the fourth time since 2017 Master and PhD students are welcome to apply and take part in the Summer School.

Learning outcomes
In the deep learning part of the course students will:
- learn concepts and techniques underlying deep learning and understand their advantages and disadvantages compared to alternative approaches
- learn to solve practical data science problems using deep learning using the popular PyTorch library
- learn the basics of modern deep learning architectures (convolutional neural networks and transformers) and learn how to implement these architectures in PyTorch
- learn applications of deep neural networks for computer vision and natural language processing tasks
All lectures will be held in English.
Stay tuned for updates on topics and confirmed speakers!
