ALCS2023 will feature guest keynotes from international speakers, as well as discipline-specific streams for deeper investigations of current scientific content.
Tuesday 13 June
| Training Day |
|---|
Three in-person training sessions are available to all ALCS attendees. 1 - Introduction to Python for HPC This workshop will familiarise you with tools to scale up your Python code to adapt it for an HPC machine. Find out more about this session here: https://opus.nci.org.au/x/hgG9D 2 - AI/ML Applications on Gadi – Computational Biology This workshop will introduce you to popular Machine Learning and Deep Learning Methods common in Computational Biology, and show ways of using Python to run machine learning models on the Gadi supercomputer. Find out more about this session here: https://opus.nci.org.au/x/ygBTCQ 3 - AI/ML Applications on Gadi – Astronomy This workshop will showcase how one can easily construct a neural network to rapidly emulate summary statistics from almost any complex model. It will also demonstrate how to write a simple Bayesian framework to perform inference with the emulator. Find out more about this session here: https://opus.nci.org.au/x/mQBTCQ |
