Short course: AI for Statistical Analysis 2:00-5:00pm EDT Friday, Oct. 31, 2025, Math/Psych 104

Dr. Reetam Majumder from the University of Arkansas will lead a three-hour short course on AI for statistical analysis from 2:00 to 5:00 pm on Friday, October 31, 2025, in room 104 of UMBC's Math & Psychology building. The course will provide a hands-on introduction to deep learning models using the Keras package in R.

Register here by October 24.

Deep learning is the cornerstone of all current AI models. While they have historically been used extensively in supervised and unsupervised learning problems, deep learning is also seeing increased adoption for statistical inference associated with complex/intractable models, massive datasets, or both. The short course will provide a hands-on introduction to deep learning models using the keras package in R.

The course aims to familiarize statisticians with the entire pipeline for analyzing data, including software setup, data preprocessing, and some common neural network architectures used in predictive modeling for different data types like tables, images, and time series. Participants will also be introduced to deep learning approaches for density estimation and parameter estimation in statistical problems, and an overview of the current state-of-the-science. 

The hands-on sections will be demonstrated on Google Colab, and participants will be able to follow along on their own personal devices. Course materials, including code, data, slides, and resources for installing the Keras and Torch deep learning libraries on R, will be made available on GitHub.

RCR Microcredential Series Session 6: Collaborative Research and Intellectual Property

Responsible Conduct of Research

Wednesday, November 19, 2025 · 2:30 - 3:45 PM

Workshop Overview: This workshop covers the topic of collaborative research, including partnerships with industry. It ensures that researchers understand the principles of effective collaboration, including managing intellectual property, navigating contractual agreements, and maintaining academic integrity.

RSVPs recommended but not required. Attendance is taken at the event by scanning a QR code. Attendees more than 10 minutes late will not be allowed to receive credit for the micro credential.

A full syllabus of the RCR Microcredential Workshop Series offerings for Fall 2025 can be found here, as well as a list of readings and case studies for each session. Questions can be sent to rcr@umbc.edu.

More about the RCR Microcredential Series: Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training is required for all doctoral students, master's thesis students, and postdoctoral scholars on campus, but benefits all who are engaged with the research process. While UMBC continues to have online, self-paced CITI training that most may use to complete RCR, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) mandates that all personnel funded on their grants complete in-person, discussion-based RCR training across certain topics. This microcredential workshop serves as an option to complete that in-person, discussion-based training for one topic. Graduate students and postdocs who are not NIH funded may use online CITI training OR this set of microcredentials to satisfy their UMBC RCR

Dear UMBC Community,

Pursuant to UMBC’s Interim Policy on Sex Discrimination, Sex-Based Harassment, and Sexual Misconduct, all faculty (including adjunct faculty), staff (regular and contingent), and student-employees (including teaching assistants and graduate assistants) are required to complete Title IX training each year. 

As such, employees must either complete the outlined series of asynchronous modules or attend a live “Understanding Your Rights and Responsibilities Under Title IX” training session by March 1, 2026.

The training will cover topics such as an overview of the Office of Equity and Civil Rights (ECR), what constitutes prohibited conduct under university policy, responding to a disclosure, procedures for reporting and resolving reports of prohibited conduct, trauma-informed care, confidentiality, and other applicable policies and procedures.

Additional information regarding the training may be found in ECR’s training FAQs. If you still have questions, please contact ECR at ECRtraining@umbc.edu.

Thank you,

Reilly Metzger
ECR Training and Prevention Manager

Following Instructure’s acquisition of Parchment, the Canvas Credentials platform is being rebranded to Parchment Digital Badges. 

This update is in name only. The system will continue to function exactly as it does today. You’ll still log in using your same sign-on, and all existing badges, pathways, and workflows will remain unchanged. 

The only visible updates you’ll notice are: 
  • The product name and logo will now display "Parchment Digital Badges" 
  • In limited instances, the Blackboard integration will appear as “Parchment Badges” 
  • The web address may update to a new domain (this change will happen over several weeks) 
Our internal FAQs and support materials will be updated by October 31 to reflect the new branding. 

For questions or assistance, please contact the Digital Credentialing Team at badges@umbc.edu or by placing an RT ticket.
