Machine Learning 101 on NeSI

New Zealand eScience Infrastructure(NeSI) designs, builds, and operates a shared national platform of advanced computing resources and data services. All researchers in Aotearoa New Zealand have access to NeSI’s platforms. Through NeSI, researchers can access high-capacity CPUs, GPUs and high memory nodes; tailored software environments; expertise in research software and data science engineering; and skills training in computational  tools and approaches. NeSI enables researchers to investigate large, unique, or complex projects more easily, quickly, and accurately.  To learn more, get in touch: info@nesi.org.nz.

New Zealand eScience Infrastructure (NeSI)

This introductory workshop will acquaint learners across NZ with machine learning (ML) fundamentals.

<p>In this full day, hands-on workshop, the NeSI team will introduce you to the wonderful world of machine learning via the user-friendly Jupyter on NeSI platform. Come along to acquaint yourself with amazing algorithms and conquer your fear of obscure machine learning jargon.  </p><p>You will be taken on a whirlwind tour of the Scikit-learn Python library during which you will encounter the usual machine learning suspects (aka things that are easy to google). You will then test-drive your new skills on a real machine learning problem. </p><p>Learners will practice model fitting, evaluation and model selection. At the end of this session they should know:</p><ul><li>the definitions of key machine learning terms</li><li>the main phases of a machine learning project</li><li>the types of ML tasks and associated classes of models</li></ul><h2>This is a hands-on, online event</h2><p>'Hands-on' for this workshop means attendees will often break out into small groups to complete exercises with the support of volunteer helpers. </p><h2>Who is this event for</h2><p>Researchers or individuals that know a bit of coding but not much about machine learning. We recommend attendees are familiar with Python packages Numpy/Scipy to get the most out of this training. If you want to brush up on your Python skills beforehand please consider reviewing this <a href="https://swcarpentry.github.io/python-novice-inflammation/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">programming with python material.</a></p><h2>Setup requirements</h2><p>You will need to have a NeSI account in order to fully participate in the workshop.  Those that register will be sent instructions on how to do this before the event. </p><p>If you have any questions or would like more information about this session, please email <a href="mailto:training@nesi.org.nz" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">training@nesi.org.nz</a>.</p>
