Do you like birds? Do you wonder what kind of birds are on ASU Tempe Campus? Join ASU Library's Naturespace on a birdwatching tour around the Tempe campus, where we can view the different birds that live there. After seeking out birds on campus, we will head to Naturespace and discuss our findings. Meet us up in Hayden Library's Naturespace 311E before we head out to explore. Bring your binoculars, a pair of sturdy walking shoes and go birding with us.
Do you have messy spreadsheets? Would you love a quicker way to clean them up?
Experience Delbert Anderson’s The Long Walk: 1,674 Days, a tribute to the resilience of the Navajo people during their forced relocation (1863–1868). This composition spans 1,674 days, reflecting the journey’s length and inviting reflection on history and spirit. Open to all musicians, singers, and community members, it is a powerful meditation on remembrance and renewal. Join us in honoring those who endured and celebrating their strength.
Join us for a ceremonial welcome for the members of the Indigenous Band, conversation of Big Chief Russell Moore and various musical selections.
The Unit for Data Science and Analytics at the ASU Library is excited to announce the return of the Volunteer Open Projects. There are two Spring 2025 Open Projects to choose from this semester. The Volunteer Open Projects are an opportunity to get involved in real-world issues in which to collaborate, learn and expand your knowledge and expertise in data science and analytics, regardless of your discipline or level of experience.

Whether you’re an aspiring data scientist, a social scientist or simply curious about working with data, this session is for you!
Transformer-Based Models, the final lab of the Machine Learning and Deep Learning Series focuses on new developments in artificial intelligence, specifically transformer-based models. Participants will learn fundamental components of transformers and how they differ from traditional neural networks. The session will cover pretrained models like BERT, fine-tuning, and transfer learning, providing practical insights into their application. Participants will also explore the role of Large Language Models (LLMs) in AI advancements, the resurgence of RNNs, and discuss the future of AI.
Deep Learning and Neural Networks, the sixth lab of the Machine Learning and Deep Learning Series introduces participants to the fundamentals of deep learning and neural networks, focusing on their architecture and functionality. Attendees will explore how neural networks work, from input layers to output layers, and the role of activation functions. The session will also cover backpropagation, optimization techniques like SGD and Adam. Participants will gain hands-on experience by building a simple feedforward neural network for classification tasks.
