SUMMARY:Practical deep learning
DESCRIPTION:Register here\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGeneral introduction\n\n\n\nDeep learning is a subset of machine learning that focuses on training artificial neural networks with multiple layers to recognize patterns and to simulate the complex decision-making power of the human brain. The use of deep learning has seen a significant increase of popularity and applicability over the last decade. While it serves as a powerful tool for researchers across various domains\, taking the first steps into the world of deep learning can be somewhat intimidating. \n\n\n\nThis three-day online workshop aims to provide beginners with a foundational understanding of deep learning concepts\, workflows\, network architectures\, and applications. \n\n\n\nOn the first two days\, a gentle introduction to deep learning is presented. Starting with explanation of the basic concepts\, we dive into different steps of a deep learning workflow using Python\, Tensorflow and Keras – preparation of training data\, implementation of a basic neural network\, monitoring & troubleshooting the training process\, and visualizing results & model performance. \n\n\n\nOn the final day of the workshop\, we conclude with demos of three representative applications. These will illustrate how deep learning is shaping modern technology across healthcare\, image processing\, and natural language understanding. \n\n\n\n\nDeep learning is revolutionising drug discovery by accelerating the identification of potential drug candidates and reducing research costs. For this application case\, we will start from a Transformer-based tool trained on scRNA-seq data\, getting familiar with the resulting embeddings and then adapt it to a specific scenario through fine-tuning\, identifying promising proteins and finding potential molecular candidates for fixing issues through techniques such as molecular simulations.\n\n\n\nComputer vision enables machines to interpret and analyse visual data\, with deep learning models excelling at image classification\, object detection\, and segmentation. In this session\, we will emphasise CNN-based architectures for medical image classification\, covering key models\, their role in feature extraction and decision-making\, as well as dataset preprocessing\, transfer learning\, and evaluation metrics.\n\n\n\nLarge language models (LLMs)\, such as ChatGPT\, have transformed natural language processing (NLP) by enabling machines to understand\, generate\, and analyse human language. In this session\, we will discuss the LLM parallelisation on high-performance computing systems and explore the acceleration of complex LLM models for vision tasks using HPC resources.\n\n\n\n\nA detailed schedule will be added in the upcoming days. \n\n\n\nWho is this webinar for?\n\n\n\nThis beginner-level workshop is designed for individuals interested in learning the fundamentals of deep learning and how it applies to fields such as drug discovery\, computer vision\, and large language models (LLMs). The target audience includes: \n\n\n\n\nstudents and early career researchers in computer science\, bioinformatics\, materials science and engineering\, or related fields\n\n\n\nindustry engineers in pharmaceuticals\, healthcare\, etc.\n\n\n\ndata scientists and software developers for deep learning-based applications\n\n\n\n\nPrerequisites\n\n\n\nParticipants are expected to have the following knowledge: \n\n\n\n\nbasic Python programming skills and being familiar with standard Python packages (Numpy\, Pandas\, Matplotlib\, etc.).\n\n\n\nbasic knowledge of classical (“shallow”) machine learning methods is beneficial but not mandatory (such methods are not covered during this workshop)\n\n\n\nbasic knowledge of data statistics and working with a Linux/Unix environment are beneficial\n\n\n\n\nKey takeaways\n\n\n\nBy the end of this workshop\, the participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nunderstand the basics of deep learning (classification\, regression\, clustering\, etc.) and its relationship with machine learning and artificial intelligence \n\n\n\nprepare input data \n\n\n\ndesign and train a deep neural network using Python\, TensorFlow and Keras \n\n\n\nmeasure the performance of the network and visualise the results \n\n\n\ntroubleshoot the learning process \n\n\n\nunderstand overfitting\, underfitting\, and techniques like regularization \n\n\n\nre-use existing network architectures with and without pre-trained weights \n\n\n\nwrite well-structured Jupyter notebooks for deep learning workflows \n\n\n\nget familiar with advanced topics like CNNs\, RNNs\, and transformers along with real-world applications of deep learning (e.g.\, image recognition\, NLP)\n\n\n\n\nMore events & contact\n\n\n\nCheck out more upcoming events from ENCCS and our European network at https://enccs.se/events. \n\n\n\nFor questions regarding this workshop or general questions about ENNCS training events\, please contact training@enccs.se \n\n\n\nSchedules can change!\n\n\n\nTo ensure that everyone has the opportunity to participate\, we kindly request that you let us know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend an event after registering. \n\n\n\nPlease send us an email at training@enccs.se to cancel your attendance. \n\n\n\nWe understand things can change\, but repeated cancellations without notice may unfortunately result in your name being removed from future event registration lists. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegulations\n\n\n\nDue to EuroCC2 regulations\, we CAN NOT ACCEPT generic or private email addresses. Please use your official university or company email address for registration. \n\n\n\nThis training is for users who live and work in the European Union or a country associated with Horizon 2020.

SUMMARY:Software Installation on HPC systems (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Register here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this webinar\n\n\n\nSoftware installation on High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems differs from typical installations on personal computers due to multi-user environments\, shared resources\, and system-wide configurations.Instead of installing software globally\, users often work within shared or isolated environments while leveraging specialized tools for software management.There are multiple methods available to install software on HPC systems depending on their specific configuration. \n\n\n\nThis webinar is designed for new users of supercomputers who want to install software by themselves. It will cover topics such as compiling code from source (make and cmake)\, utilizing “package managers” (conda\, Spack\, and EasyBuild)\, and deploying executables with containers (Singularity). \n\n\n\nWho is this webinar for?\n\n\n\nThis webinar is ideal for both beginners and intermediate HPC users looking to improve their software installation skills in a high-performance computing environment. It is suitable for those who use or manage HPC systems and need to install and manage software efficiently in these environments\, including: \n\n\n\n\nresearchers using HPC clusters for simulations\, AI/ML\, or big data analysis\n\n\n\nsoftware developers who write applications for parallel computing\, AI\, or numerical simulations\n\n\n\nsystem administrators & HPC support staff responsible for maintaining HPC software environments\n\n\n\nAI & data science practitioners running models on HPC clusters and cloud computing platforms\n\n\n\n\nKey takeaways\n\n\n\nBy the end of this webinar\, you will: \n\n\n\n\nunderstand basics of HPC software installation\n\n\n\nlearn why software installation on HPC differs from regular systems\n\n\n\nexplore different software installation methods\n\n\n\nlearn best practices for managing software dependencies\n\n\n\noptimize performance for HPC workloads\n\n\n\ngain hands-on experience with practical examples\n\n\n\n\nMore events & contact\n\n\n\nCheck out more upcoming events from ENCCS and our European network at https://enccs.se/events. \n\n\n\nFor questions regarding this workshop or general questions about ENNCS training events\, please contact training@enccs.se \n\n\n\nSchedules can change!\n\n\n\nTo ensure that everyone has the opportunity to participate\, we kindly request that you let us know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend an event after registering. \n\n\n\nPlease send us an email at training@enccs.se to cancel your attendance. \n\n\n\nWe understand things can change\, but repeated cancellations without notice may unfortunately result in your name being removed from future event registration lists. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegulations\n\n\n\nDue to EuroCC2 regulations\, we CAN NOT ACCEPT generic or private email addresses.
