Research data in Higher Ed institutions is unique and valuable and must be managed and shared appropriately. NIH requires researchers to outline how they will manage and share their data. Research data can be highly sensitive, and developing appropriate data protection plans is crucial to a successful program. This session will teach you how to implement good data management practices, including how to prioritize and safe keep the most important data sets. You will also learn how to shift from manual processes to automatically identify the classification, age, and usefulness of your data, and how to recover faster from any type of breach.

NJBDA Workshop Series, in collaboration with Montclair State University's New Jersey Policy Think Tank for the Food Industry and Restaurants. Join our panel of technology and marketing experts, restaurateurs and food service professionals to discuss digital technologies, including payment tools, customer reservation, and social media marketing tools to create value and grow your profits!
The session will consist of brief presentations, with around 100 minutes of interactive work-along demo of data visualization with Jupyter Notebooks, and end with Q&A. Participants will learn to create data visualizations and can opt to either access Rutgers University’s high-performance computing (HPC) platform/cloud* or to run the code locally on their own computers.
In this workshop, after a brief overview on machine learning, we will focus on doing the hands-on training in applying ML models on various data types including image, text, and time series. We will work through the use cases of classification and regression problems and discuss where to apply supervised or unsupervised methods.
Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) methods are being used for de novo protein structure prediction. In addition to expert lectures, this crash course will provide hands-on training on AlphaFold2 and RosettaFold. These methods made a big impact in the field of protein prediction by solving a 50-year-old grant challenge.
