NCI and MathWorks are offering three hands-on workshops with a focus on MATLAB, AI and parallel computing. Limited spaces are available, so please reserve your placement by registering. Click here to register.
Prework:
Overview
Are you new to machine learning and want to learn how to apply these techniques in your work? Machine learning is a data analytics technique that teaches computers to do what comes naturally to humans and animals: learn from experience. Machine learning algorithms use computational methods to “learn” information directly from data without relying on a predetermined equation as a model.
Or did you try Machine Learning, and it felt like a one-time exercise? Using MATLAB, engineers and other domain experts have deployed thousands of applications for predictive maintenance, sensor analytics, finance, and communication electronics.

Overview
Please join MathWorks and learn how to get started with MATLAB for Deep Learning with Images. In this hands-on workshop, we will introduce you to fundamentals of Deep Learning with Images. You’ll have the opportunity to try out specific examples using MATLAB tools. The hands-on component of the workshop will be run via MATLAB Online – so attendees do NOT need to have MATLAB locally installed on their computers.

Overview
Do you have code in MATLAB or a model in Simulink that you need to accelerate? Do you need to run large scale Monte Carlo simulations? This workshop is designed to walk through the steps, in a hands on format, to take your existing code and transform such that it is suitable for running on large scale parallel compute facilities such as those hosted at the NCI. We address the toughest issues you will face such as adapting variables to parallel loops and data management so that you are ready to simply click submit for your jobs. The workshop will be run in a hands on format working through a series of examples to step you through the process of taking a section of code from serial to parallel.
About the Presenter
Peter Brady is an application engineer with MathWorks striving to accelerate our customer’s engineering and scientific computing workflows across maths, statistics, and machine learning. Prior to joining MathWorks, Peter worked in computational fluid and thermodynamics as well as high-performance computing for a number of defence and civil contractors as well as a few universities. He has worked in fields as diverse as cavitation, wave/turbulence interactions, rainfall and runoff, nano-fluidics, HVAC and natural convection including scale out cloud simulation techniques. Peter holds a Doctorate in free surface computational fluid dynamics and a Bachelor of Civil Engineering both from the University of Technology Sydney.
