Machine Learning for Calibration and Classification

May 13, 2020 - May 14, 2020


The recorded version of this course is now available in our EigenU Recorded Courses area.

Eigenvector Research, Inc. is pleased to announce Machine Learning for Calibration and Classification, a live webinar-based short course covering modern non-linear modeling methods including Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Support Vector Machines (SVMs) and Gradient Boosted Ensemble Methods (XGBoost).

Complete information about the course can be found by following the links below.

Target Audience

Machine Learning for Calibration and Classification is aimed at engineers, chemists and other scientists who develop predictive calibration or classification models with complex non-linear multivariate data. It is applicable to a wide array of areas including

  • Process Analysis, e.g. in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and process industries.
  • Analytical Chemistry, e.g. QC labs, forensic investigations, etc.
  • Medical Devices, Clinical Analysis
  • Sensory and Consumer Science
  • Any field that produces chemical/analytical data

The course serves individuals who need to develop predictive models such as analytical instrument calibrations, soft sensor models, and sample classification systems. No prior knowledge is required for this course, although some knowledge of elementary linear algebra and basic chemometrics methods (PCA, PLS), is useful.

Course Description

This course will be delivered via WebEx webinar in two segments of three and a half hours each. The course material is based on our popular Eigenvector University Machine Learning for Chemometricians course. Please refer to it for a complete description and course outline.

The course will include several follow-along examples. In order to take advantage of these, participants should equip their computers with current versions of Solo or PLS_Toolbox (and MATLAB) installed. Demo copies will work just fine. Users with Eigenvector accounts can download free demos. If you don’t have an account, start by creating one.

About the Instructors

The course will be led by Eigenvector Senior Software Developer Donal O’Sullivan, Ph.D.. Dr. O’Sullivan has been the lead developer on integrating modern machine learning methods into PLS_Toolbox and Solo. He will be assisted by Eigenvector Senior Data Scientist Manuel A. Palacios, Ph.D. and Eigenvector President and PLS_Toolbox creator Barry M. Wise. Dr. Wise and the Eigenvector staff have delivered over 200 chemometrics courses at scientific conferences, on-site for companies and at our popular Eigenvector University each year in Seattle.
