04 Academic courses
These are introductory academic courses on ML topics as part of undergraduate studies offered by Y-DATA faculty and based on our expertise in teaching DS topics with applicable tools and skillset. The courses allow students of not computer/engineering degrees to gain basic understanding of DS tools and their potential, as well as providing understanding of key data manipulation skills for research and hypothesis testing. The courses combine practice of common DS tools with glimpses into the full potential of ML
05 Meetups
Y-DATA leads an ongoing meetup series open for anybody who is interested in the technical aspects of Data Science and Machine Learning. The main goal of these events is to build stronger academia-industry relationships and to make our ecosystem richer by bringing together top names from the tech industry in Israel and abroad and building a community around the opportunity to meet in an informal setting and engage in exchange of ideas as well as build up professional networks.
