WorkshopsDOE, QBD, and Machine Learning Methods in Upstream and Downstream BioprocessingLennart Eriksson, Principal Data Scientist, and Henrik Widmark, Data Scientist at Sartorius Digital Solutions TeamThe workshop is composed of lectures and demonstrations in the software MODDE®, SIMCA® and SIMCA®-online based on real-life investigations. The learning material is intended for researchers, scientists and engineers from all sectors of industry and academia. No prior knowledge of statistics is assumed. Key Learning Points:
Accelerating Model Development and Generating Ensembles with DivinerBarry M. Wise, Ph.D. President, Eigenvector Research, Inc.Diviner, our semi-automated machine learning tool (semi-autoML) for developing calibration models, was introduced with PLS_Toolbox and Solo 9.5 in 2024. (Divine—to discover or locate something by intuition, insight or supernatural means.) Unlike conventional autoML methods that yield a single optimal model, our approach creates a diverse family of models and ranks them by their cross-validation performance, degree of overfitting, and prediction error on validation sets. These models may be further refined to produce a single “optimal” model. Alternately, a group of candidate models can be used to create an ensemble model that harnesses the diversity of the candidate models. These models are combined using voting regression. This leverages the complementary strengths and reduces individual model weaknesses, enhancing overall predictive accuracy and robustness. In this hands-on class participants will learn to use Diviner to create single models and ensembles. |
