Training

Course Description: Building further on the concepts covered in the Introduction, Intermediate, and Data Science Python courses, we will introduce Python as a tool for training and testing machine learning (ML) models with a particular focus on deep learning approaches. Specific topics will include an introduction to the PyTorch software library and a brief survey of some of the basic model architectures which it implements. Some prior familiarity with the basic ideas of ML (underfitting vs. overfitting, use of training and test data sets, model performance metrics such as AUC, etc.) and/or linear algebra will be helpful for getting the most out of this course.

Join us to learn the fundamentals of software containerization and how to build, run, and deploy your own containers for reproducible computing across laptops, servers, and high-performance computing systems.

Course Description: This is a two-part course, with substantial hands-on practice in a shared computing environment. Participants will learn the basics of using UNIX from the command line. Introductory topics include manipulating text files using standard UNIX utilities, how to string utilities together, and how to output the results to files. The goal of the course is to develop some basic comfort at the command line, get a sense of what’s possible, and learn how to find help. Prerequisites: Students wishing to participate in the hands-on portions should bring their own laptop. Cost: $50 (includes both days)

This is a two-part course, with substantial hands-on practice in a shared computing environment. Topics will build on those in the introductory course, including more on the filesystem, the Bash shell, and text processing on the command line. The course will emphasize manipulating text using standard Linux utilities and stringing commands together using pipes. We’ll also introduce some of the powerful Linux utilities such as cut, sort, grep and awk, with the goal of continuing the climb up the steep Linux learning curve.

This is a two-part course, with substantial hands-on experience in a shared computing environment. The course will cover advanced topics in writing Bash shell scripts, providing tips, examples and best practices for creating robust “pipeline scripts” that execute multiple processing steps. Topics include defining functions, argument processing and defaulting, error checking, effective use of utilities such as awk and grep, as well as subtleties of UNIX streams and text manipulation.
