Data Science in Relativistic Astrophysics (Hands on Workshop)

Preparation before the meeting We use the python language for programming, PyTorch/scikit-learn packages, and google Colab environment. Participants only need to register on google drive and have primary experience in working with google colab notebooks. We will also use the AstroML package which can be installed easily during the workshop.
