It might seem like an odd title for a post on this blog. However, Research Software Engineering is still a relatively new profession and not everyone knows how we fit into the world of research and academia. So, who are we? What do we do? How can we support your…

By Maaike de Jong (eScience Center), Dan Rudmann (Leiden University), Jacob Rousseau (Amsterdam UMC) and Lieke de Boer (eScience Center) Software is hugely important for research, but it’s not very visible as a key research output. We present the Research Software Directory (RSD), an online service designed to put research…

There is a huge stigma associated with mental health. Just 13% of employees would be comfortable talking about mental illness at work, but stress, anxiety and depression are particularly common — with one in six workers experiencing one at any one time. …

The staff at Queen’s University Belfast and Ulster University, through their EPSRC grant, are growing their solution and Research Software Engineering (RSE) portfolio intelligently in order to meet the changing needs of their new user base. — “Our students and researchers drive our technological advancement both here at Queen’s and at Ulster,” explains Vaughan Purnell, Research Computing Manager, of Queen’s University Belfast. “When we came together to plan how we would tackle these new fields, we knew we would need the best platform for our research and…

We have learnt about a lot of machine learning classification algorithms in my previous blogs. In this blog, we are going to look into Regression and where we apply these algorithms. Classification vs Regression: In classification algorithms, the output is a set of classes. For example, if you want to predict what the…
