CI-HASS
Cyberinfrastructure for Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences a Summer
Institute (CI-HASS)
http://flatiron.sdsc.edu/projects/ci-hass/main.php

The comprehensive infrastructure needed to capitalize on dramatic
advances in information technology has been termed cyberinfrastructure.
Cyberinfrastructure integrates hardware for computing, data and
networks, digitally-enabled sensors, observatories and experimental
facilities, and an interoperable suite of software and middleware
services and tools. Investments in interdisciplinary academic teams and
cyberinfrastructure professionals with broad expertise in content
production and technology systems is essential to exploit the full power
of cyberinfrastructure to create, disseminate, and preserve data,
information, and knowledge.

The University of California Humanities Research Institute (UCHRI) and
the University of California San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC)
invite applications from scholars, faculty, graduate students and IT
intellectuals of all ranks to participate in a hands-on workshop
designed to introduce humanists, artists and social scientists to
commonly used and emergent information technology tools and resources.

Event Date: July 24-28, 2006

Event Location: UC San Diego Campus

Application Deadline: June 1, 2006

Event Cost: $350

Registration Fee Includes: Instruction | Lodging | Three Meals Each Day
Note: If you do not require lodging, the registration fee is $150.

Program Overview

The Institute is an intensive one-week summer program for faculty,
scholars, graduate students, professionals and public intellectuals. The
Institute will host 40-50 distinguished participants in a "laboratory"
where together they can engage important and creative thought and
application. Workshops will include conversations with cutting edge
technological innovators, humanists, artists and social scientists; they
involve demonstrations of new technological devices, and their
applications as well as scholarly practices. Participants will have
opportunities to familiarize themselves with new digital applications in
the context of small working groups.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Summer School will be held at Porto, Portugal, jointly organized by the
Polytechnic School of Engineering of Porto (ISEP) and the Faculty of
Engineering, Porto University (FEUP).

Following last year experience, this year's edition also includes a WORKSHOP
SESSION providing a discussion forum where the participants can obtain peer
guidance for their projects.

COURSE CONTENTS

Neural networks (NN) have become a very important tool in classification and
regression tasks. The applications are nowadays abundant, e.g. in the
engineering, economy and biology areas. The Summer School on NN is dedicated
to explain relevant NN paradigms, namely multilayer perceptrons (MLP),
radial basis function networks (RBF) and support vector machines (SVM) used
for classification and regression tasks, illustrated with applications to
real data. Specific topics are also presented, namely Spiking Neural
Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks, Modular Neural Networks and Data Mining
using NN.

Classes include practical sessions with appropriate software tools. The
trainee has, therefore, the opportunity to apply the taught concepts and
become conversant with a broad range of NN topics and applications. A
special workshop session will provide a discussion forum where the
participants can obtain peer guidance for their projects. Official language
is English.

PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME
