Workshops


DOE, QBD, and Machine Learning Methods in Upstream and Downstream Bioprocessing

Lennart Eriksson, Principal Data Scientist, and Henrik Widmark, Data Scientist at Sartorius Digital Solutions Team

The 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:

  • Learn how DOE enables maximally informative experiments
  • Understand how to analyze experimental data using sound statistical principles
  • Get insights into the fundamentals of QBD and Design Space estimation
  • Learn what MVDA is and its relation to Machine Learning
  • Find out how MVDA extracts the golden nuggets in your data
  • Discover how Machine Learning methods can be used in process development and monitoring

Accelerating Model Development and Generating Ensembles with Diviner

Barry 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.
