Hello everyone: Almost in time for the new semesterŠ, CUNY will be hosting two (free) seminars (September 13, 2016, 9:30 am ­ 12:30 pm & September 15, 2016, 9:30 am ­ 12:30 pm) to introduce faculty to MATLAB and Simulink software, recently purchased by CUNY for use by faculty, students and staff University-wide. More details about the workshops and registration are listed below. Best - Michelle ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CUNY will be hosting two (free) seminars to introduce faculty to MATLAB and Simulink software, recently purchased by CUNY for use by faculty, students and staff University-wide. This mathematical computing software is used in an array of disciplines, including engineering, physics and other sciences, math, computer science, and statistics. Please distribute this information broadly to faculty in these fields and help us publicize this opportunity to your interested faculty and staff. Those wanting to attend session 1 should register at: www.mathworks.com/seminars/cuny2016 http3A__www.mathworks.com_seminars_cuny2016&d=CwMGaQ&c=mRWFL96tuqj9V0Jjj4h4 0ddo0XsmttALwKjAEOCyUjY&r=mvVjo_jL6j5it_w6GbofbSM8WrWLf7QWWAl5VPPNKI4&m=UL5 CQpsseWTGvumebVgOE3p8aJ-q7E_QH2eC4L8RgI8&s=dwi831jfdtIQ_NcAHD7A1-SR842Z7pJW FEItODy-sbA&e= <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.mathworks.com_semi nars_cuny2016&d=CwMGaQ&c=mRWFL96tuqj9V0Jjj4h40ddo0XsmttALwKjAEOCyUjY&r=mvVj o_jL6j5it_w6GbofbSM8WrWLf7QWWAl5VPPNKI4&m=UL5CQpsseWTGvumebVgOE3p8aJ-q7E_QH 2eC4L8RgI8&s=dwi831jfdtIQ_NcAHD7A1-SR842Z7pJWFEItODy-sbA&e=>> Those wanting to attend session 2 should register at: www.mathworks.com/seminars/cunysept2016 <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.mathworks.com_semi nars_cunysept2016&d=CwMGaQ&c=mRWFL96tuqj9V0Jjj4h40ddo0XsmttALwKjAEOCyUjY&r= mvVjo_jL6j5it_w6GbofbSM8WrWLf7QWWAl5VPPNKI4&m=UL5CQpsseWTGvumebVgOE3p8aJ-q7 E_QH2eC4L8RgI8&s=wAjYT8rbLSmjm6QFe4WiiDB62bmaV02MILyJAUXdpN8&e=> You are welcome to attend both sessions. Walk-ins are also accepted for those unsure of their availability. SEMINAR 1: September 13, 2016, 9:30 am ­ 12:30 pm 395 Hudson Street, New York, NY, 5th Floor TECH@Central This free seminar will provide basic information on using MATLAB and Simulink to develop algorithms, visualize and analyze data, and perform numeric computation. Overview of MATLAB: This session will provide live demonstrations of the following: € Accessing data from many sources (files, other software, hardware, etc.) € Using interactive tools for iterative exploration, design, and problem solving € Automating and capturing work in easy-to-write scripts and programs € Sharing results with others by automatically creating reports Overview of Simulink: This session shows how Simulink can provide multi-domain simulation and Model-Based Design for dynamic and embedded systems. This session will provide demonstrations of the following: € Creating a new model from scratch € Using libraries of pre-defined blocks € Creating your own reusable sub-systems € Incorporating MATLAB code into Simulink models SEMINAR 2: September 15, 2016, 9:30 am ­ 12:30 pm CUNY Advanced Science Research Center 85 St. Nicholas Terrace New York, NY 10031 5.210 Data Visualization Room, 5th Floor This free seminar is more advanced, intended for those with some experience with MATLAB/Simulink or those who attended the first seminar on September 13th. It will be especially helpful to those conducting research. The two topics covered in this session are: Machine Learning with MATLAB This session will explore the fundamentals of machine learning, a computational technique that takes data and produces a model to make predictions. Highlights include: € Accessing, exploring, analyzing, and visualizing data in MATLAB € Feature selection and feature transformation € Specifying cross-validation schemes € Training, evaluating and using many different machine learning models € Integrating trained models into applications such as computer vision, signal processing, and data analytics Optimizing and Accelerating your MATLAB Code This session will demonstrate simple ways to improve and optimize your code that can boost execution speed. It will also address common pitfalls in writing MATLAB code, explore the use of the MATLAB Profiler to find bottlenecks, and introduce programming constructs to solve computationally and data-intensive problems on multicore computers, clusters and GPUs. Specifically, this session will show: · Leveraging the power of vector and matrix operations in MATLAB · Identifying and addressing bottlenecks in your code · Converting MATLAB code to C/C++ using MATLAB Coder · Utilizing additional processing power available in multicore machines, clusters, and clouds Michelle C.
