Do We Really Need Another OPUS Flavor?

Yes. The NGS and other groups have a history of projects with specifications that can’t be entirely supported by OPUS.
Yes, again. As well as OPUS does, sacrificing simplicity for flexibility can improve results in many cases.

What’s In This Workshop?

By attending this workshop, you should have enough information to successfully use OPUS-Projects for your own projects. Once the training is completed, you’ll be given an opportunity to register your email address thereby authorizing you to create and process new OPUS-Projects.
A project containing a training data set will be assigned to you. You’ll have an opportunity to work along with the presentations. In addition, time is allotted for you to explore your project individually.
