Title: Parameterized Reporting in R Markdown

Abstract: Elizabeth's talk will focus on how to take customizability of your R Markdown reports to the next level with the help of parameters. Parameters allow the user to change certain aspects of their report without having to go back & make changes within the R Markdown document itself. This is very helpful when producing the same report but under different conditions/assumptions.

Title: Become a Superlearner: Using sl3 to build ensemble learning models

Abstract: Kat will discuss ensemble machine learning in R. Ensemble models combine multiple models to create a stronger overall prediction model. She will give an overview of ensemble learning methods & the packages available in R. She will then focus on understanding & using one algorithm for ensemble learning - stacking, or superlearning - through the R package sl3
