News

The workshop is booked out!

This year's workshop will for the second time feature PyEMMA and DeepTime.

Dates

5-day course 21.-25.02.2022 12:00 noon online
IMPORTANT: On Monday, we will start one hour later at 1 pm.

Program

In this 1-week compact course (Blockseminar) participants will learn how to quantitatively analyze time-series data, with a special focus on molecular dynamics simulations. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the course will take place online and will include both theory lessons (20-30%) as well as practical applications using the software packages PyEMMA and DeepTime. All computer applications will be done in Python and Jupyter notebooks. We will provide test data, but participants may also bring their own data (any standard format, e.g., xtc, dcd) and we will help with applying PyEMMA or DeepTime to it.

Schedule

Overview

Theory lessons and associated software application sessions take place Monday to Wednesday. Thursday morning is dedicated to contributed talks. There is an open space for project work from Thursday afternoon to Friday noon. During this time, we will be available to support external scientists with their own projects and FU students with project tasks (to be presented on Friday afternoon).

Schedule

The time is in local Berlin time (GMT+1).

Preparation for course

Installation of PyEmma

For tutorials, we will use the Python-based software packages PyEMMA (Emma's Markov Model Algorithms, http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.jctc.5b00743, http://github.com/markovmodel/PyEMMA) and DeepTime (https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2632-2153/ac3de0/meta, https://github.com/deeptime-ml/deeptime). We strongly recommend to install both packages from the anaconda Python distribution using the installation instructions provided here: https://github.com/markovmodel/pyemma-workshop
If you are not using the anaconda Python distribution, PyEMMA and DeepTime are also available via source installation from Github.
If possible, install the latest release of PyEMMA and DeepTime.
