      Intelligent Care | How to Build an AI Assistant for Healthcare 2h

      This workshop presents the full development cycle of an AI assistant for healthcare, detailing data curation, libraries for parameter optimization (model fine-tuning), and the application of fine-tuning. In the practical stage, participants run real-time inference with the fine-tuned model, validating its performance. The activity is structured to transform technical concepts into a functional solution, ensuring a clear understanding from data preparation to final execution. This workshop will use the resources of the Portuguese supercomputer Deucalion.rcomputer Deucalion.

      First Steps in ML | Essential Concepts 1h

      This introductory Machine Learning (ML) workshop presents, in 60 minutes, the essential pillars for building predictive models. It covers initial variable exploration, criteria for feature selection, data splitting, and comparison between different algorithms. The goal is to provide a clear and practical overview of the ML workflow, enabling participants to understand the technical decisions behind each stage of the process. This workshop will use the resources of the Portuguese supercomputer Deucalion.
