Assistant Professor of Computer Science Noah Apthorpe has received a $5,000 Picker ISI Interdisciplinary Training Workshop Grant for a workshop on “AI-Powered Machine Learning for Research Across the University.” The workshop will introduce Colgate faculty and students to practical machine learning techniques for research data analysis, including data preparation, model training, and results assessment. No prior machine learning or programming experience will be required, as participants will learn to use and critically evaluate generative AI tools for building and customizing machine learning pipelines. The workshop will emphasize hands-on application, with participants encouraged to bring their own research data. Information Technology Services will provide technical support during and after the workshop, planned for June 4–5, 2026.
