NEH Summer Seminars and Institutes for Higher Education Faculty provide higher education faculty across the nation the opportunity to broaden and deepen their engagement with the humanities.  The one- to four-week professional development programs allow participants to explore recent developments in scholarship, teaching, and/or curriculum through study of a variety of humanities topics.

Summer Seminars and Institutes for Higher Education Faculty should:

• focus on the study and teaching of significant texts and other resources
• provide models of excellent scholarship and teaching
• contribute to the intellectual growth of the participants
• build lasting communities of inquiry and professional collaboration

Seminars provide a focused environment in which sixteen participants study a specific humanities topic under the guidance of established scholars.  Seminars have few, if any, visiting faculty.  Seminars emphasize sustained interaction among the participants and project director(s) through discussion of common readings and conversations about scholarship and teaching.  Substantial time is made available for reflection, work on independent or collaborative projects, and related advising.

Institutes allow twenty-five to thirty-six participants to study a humanities topic with a team of experienced scholars.  Institutes typically have more meeting time than seminars.  Project leaders and participants mutually explore connections between scholarship and teaching.  Some time is reserved for work on individual or collaborative projects.

Pratt Institute School of Information () seeks a visiting assistant professor to teach INFO 697 Machine Learning. This graduate course is an elective in our Master of Science programs in Data Analytics & Visualization, Library & Information Science, Museums and Digital Culture and Information Experience Design.

Course Description: Machine learning is a rapidly growing field that develops algorithms for tasks such as data classification and prediction. These algorithms are programmed to operate and adjust themselves independently of human intervention (i.e., to learn), allowing data work to occur quickly and at scale. This course will survey supervised methods for machine learning (regression and classification), which attempt to map data onto desired outputs, and unsupervised methods (clustering and association), which attempt to find structure within data itself. Students will learn how to implement machine learning techniques on text and image data, assess the effectiveness of different techniques on particular datasets, and discuss basic issues that confront all machine learning methods.

Student Learning Outcomes: By the end of the course, students will be able to

• describe different machine learning methods, including their biases and limitations
• select an appropriate machine learning method for a given use case
• implement machine learning algorithms and assess their performance

The course is offered August 27 to December 10 on Tuesdays 6:30pm-9:20pm at Pratt Manhattan Center – 144 W. 14th St. near 7th Avenue.

The candidate should have a Master’s degree in a relevant field and have an aptitude for teaching. The applicant will receive compensation for developing the syllabus as well as teaching the course.
