MATLAB Machine Learning/Statistics and Deep-Learning

The Division of Information Technology (DIT) at the University of Maryland is pleased to announce the following workshop for members of the University community.

There are only a limited number of seats available. Registration will remain open until 25 July 2023 or until all seats are filled.
Although there is no charge associated with the workshop, we do require registration and we ask that you do not register unless you really intend to attend.

Warning

Registration is currently closed. We are hoping to repeat this workshop in the future, please join us then.

Note

NOTE: DIT reserves the right to cancel the workshop for any reason with little notice.

During this hands-on, self-paced workshop, a MathWorks engineer will introduce the Machine-Learning/Statistics and Deep-Learning Toolboxes in MATLAB. By working through common scenarios and workflows using hands-on demos, you will gain a detailed understanding of capabilities of these MATLAB Toolboxes.

The workshop is open to all members of the UMD community interested in developing and performing ML and/or DL tasks using powerful tools.

Prerequisites

Some basic familiarity with MATLAB is assumed. If you are not familiar with MATLAB or want a refresher, you might wish to take the free self-paced MATLAB Onramp course from MathWorks (about 2 hours).

System Requirements

This is a bring-your-own-laptop style event.
It is not required to have MATLAB installed on your laptop since we will use MATLAB Online for this workshop; use your UMD credentials to sign in.

If you want to have MATLAB, including the ML/Statistics and DL Toolboxes, installed on your laptop, you may download it at no charge from Terpware.

Resources

In case Terpware encounters issues, you may download a recent MATLAB version (e.g. R 2024b or R2025a) from the UMD MATLAB portal as hosted by MathWorks.

The difference between Machine Learning and Deep Learning is briefly explained in this YouTube video.
