What is MKS?
MKS is just a regression technique, but a convenient starting point for improving our knowledge of materials informatics.
Workshop should / could have been called Materials Informatics Workshop.
Why have a workshop?
Andrew and I attended a "hands on" MKS workshop at GT last year and enjoyed it.
Attending other "hands on" computing tutorials (such as Scipy) has been very useful for me, more so than just attending the talks.
We have had this style of workshop before in the CTCMS, solder design workshops, OOF workshops. Maybe we want to have more.
Different style of workshop (less talks more tutorials).
What do we want to achieve?
Improve our computational skills and practices (software engineering).
Become better versed in all of
Fantasy: implement materials informatics codes and examples in existing or new open-source frameworks (such as Scikit-learn)
