Causal machine learning with DoubleML
- Capacity: 75
- Language: English
- Duration: 3h
Abstract
Machine learning is frequently used for predicting outcome variables. But in many cases, we are interested in causal questions: Why do customers churn? What is the effect of a price change on sales? How can we evaluate an A/B test?
This three-hour tutorial offers an introduction to causal machine learning with the R package DoubleML
. First, a general motivation and introduction to causal machine learning is provided. Participants will learn about situations in which causal questions become important and how ML methods can be used to answer them. We will shortly discuss common pitfalls in the use of ML for causality and introduce the building blocks of double machine learning. Double machine learning offers a general framework for causal machine learning in a variety of causal models. Second, participants will be introduced to DoubleML
and learn about the most important steps of a causal analysis with DoubleML
. DoubleML
makes it possible to conduct causal inference on a variety of learners supported by the mlr3 ecosystem. Code demonstrations are provided in reproducible examples, together with a short outlook on how users can apply, modify and extend the DoubleML
package for their own applications. Third, participants will get started with causal machine learning and solve hands-on case studies by themselves or in teams. Our target is users with some basic knowledge of ML concepts and medium R knowledge. Participants will benefit from prior experience in machine learning–particularly in using mlr3–and object orientation based on R6.

Introduction to Git and GitHub
- Capacity: 20
- Language: English
- Duration: 2.5h
Abstract
A version control system records changes to a file or set of files over time so that these modifications can be tracked, monitored, and recorded. Git is a version control system which allows you to review or restore earlier versions. Git is installed and maintained on your local system and gives you a self-contained record of your ongoing versions. Compared to other systems, Git is responsive, easy to use, and inexpensive (free).
GitHub is a cloud-based platform that allows you to store and share your projects. Unlike Git, GitHub is exclusively cloud-based. GitHub is one of the largest cloud-based code-sharing platforms, so using it can provide wide exposure for your project. The more people you have to review your project, the more attention and use it is likely to attract.

Programación de scripts en R para el procesamiento de QGIS
- Capacity: 20
- Language: Spanish
- Duration: 2.5h
Abstract
QGIS is a leading open software that in recent years has been very popular among researchers and professionals of geographic information systems in different public and private entities, especially at technical-scientific institutions due to its large ecosystem and interoperability with other scientific software, such as GRASS, SAGA, R, Python, OTB, and GDAL, among others. Its combination with R has been mainly to solve statistical analysis tasks with spatial and non-spatial data. Since version 2.14 (Essen), QGIS has had the option to integrate R software into its toolbox. Previously this functionality was part of the QGIS core; however, for new versions from 3.0 (Girona) onwards, this functionality has been proposed as an extension. From the perspective of R users, this change of approach allows for more independent development according to the requirements of the R spatial community.
This tutorial will be 100 percent hands-on from start to finish. We will learn how to write and add new tools to the QGIS process box using the R programming language, acquiring the skills to take advantage of all the benefits of the new QGIS API through the integration offered by the Processing R Provider add-on.

Futureverse: Parallelization in R
- Capacity: 40
- Language: English
- Duration: 2.5h
Abstract
In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the future
framework to turn sequential R code into parallel R code with minimal effort.
There are a few ways to parallelize R code. Some solutions come built-in with R (parallel
package) and others are provided through R packages available on CRAN. The future
framework, available on CRAN since 2016 and used by hundreds of R packages, is designed to unify and leverage common parallelization frameworks in R, to make new and existing R code faster with minimal effort by the developer.
The futureverse (https://futureverse.org) allows you, as the developer, to stay with your favorite programming style. For example, future.apply
provides one-to-one alternatives to base R
’s apply()
and lapply()
functions, furrr
provides alternatives to purrr
’s map()
functions, and doFuture
provides support for foreach
syntax. At the same time, the user can switch to a parallel backend of their choice–e.g., they can parallelize on their local machine, across multiple local or remote machines, towards the cloud, or on a job-scheduler on a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster. As a developer, you do not have to worry about which backend the user picks–your future-based code will remain the same regardless of the parallel backend.
PS. We will not cover asynchronous Shiny programming using futures and promises in this tutorial.

Introduction to dimensional reduction in R
- Capacity: 35
- Language: English
- Duration: 3.5h
Abstract
Biology is evermore dependent on high-dimensional data. In this context, it can be challenging to evaluate and explore how this dimension reduction is used to extract information, help with data visualization and provide better models. In this hands-on tutorial, we will use dimensional reduction techniques (PCA, ICA, Multidimensional Scaling, t-sne, and U-MAP) in data to see how they behave. Our goal is to provide students an overview of some frameworks that can be used in R to do, thus harvesting R’s power. First, students will use the tidyverse and tidy model frameworks to learn PCA and ICA. Second, they will use other packages to learn multidimensional scaling. Third, we will see how this field is still growing rapidly and how we can use reticulate
to execute programs and code that have been written in Python in R. We will then use reticulate
together with scikit-learn
to do t-sne and U-Map from R. Last, students will discuss what they have learned and their main takeaways from the tutorial.

Larger-than-memory data workflows with Apache Arrow
- Capacity: 50
- Language: English
- Duration: 3.5h
Abstract
As datasets become larger and more complex, the boundaries between data engineering and data science are becoming blurred. Data analysis pipelines with larger-than-memory data are becoming commonplace, creating a gap that needs to be bridged–between engineering tools designed to work with very large datasets on the one hand, and data science tools that provide the analysis capabilities used in data workflows on the other. One way to build this bridge is with Apache Arrow, a multi-language toolbox for working with larger-than-memory tabular data. Arrow is designed to improve performance and efficiency, and places emphasis on standardization and interoperability among workflow components, programming languages, and systems. The arrow
package provides a mature R interface to Apache Arrow, making it an appealing solution for data scientists working with large data in R.
In this tutorial you will learn how to use the arrow
R package to create seamless engineering-to-analysis data pipelines. You’ll learn how to use interoperable data file formats like Parquet or Feather for efficient storage and data access. You’ll learn how to exercise fine control over data types to avoid common data pipeline problems. During the tutorial you’ll be processing larger-than-memory files and multi-file datasets with familiar dplyr
syntax, and working with data in cloud storage. The tutorial doesn’t assume any previous experience with Apache Arrow: instead, it will provide a foundation for using arrow
, giving you access to a powerful suite of tools for analyzing larger-than-memory datasets in R.

Visualizaciones efectivas con ggplot2
: más allá de las opciones por defecto
- Capacity: 40
- Language: Spanish
- Duration: 3.5h
Abstract
ggplot2
is a powerful package that allows us to create data visualizations with just a few lines of code. In part, this is possible due to the great “default values” it has for some of the elements of a plot. Although this might be enough when you are exploring your data, when you need to develop data visualizations to effectively communicate your results to an audience, more customization might be required. To this end, this hands-on tutorial aims to help participants to gain a deeper understanding of ggplot2
’s layered structure, and how to customize data and non-data elements of a plot. Participants will write code that will allow them to use different geoms in a flexible way, and to customize elements such as color palettes, fonts, axes, legends, etc. This practical knowledge will be accompanied by a reflection about how these elements of design can help us to communicate our results in a more effective and accessible way.
