SUMMARY:Image Segmentation using Deep Learning with FastAI
DESCRIPTION:Like other image processing problems\, deep learning has brought many effective solutions to the task of image segmentation. This workshop will introduce you to the methods used in image segmentation\, demonstrate how to prepare your own segmentation masks using Matlab\, and guide you through performing image segmentation using the FastAI [fast.ai] Python library\, which is built on the deep learning library PyTorch. Some familiarity with Python is expected\, but no previous experience with FastAI or PyTorch is needed. The workshop will be done online via Zoom. We will run the code using Google Colab (with free-to-use GPUs)\, which requires a Google account.

SUMMARY:GIS Fundamentals – Understanding and manipulating elevation data
DESCRIPTION:Elevation data can come in the form of point (e.g. from LiDAR)\, digital elevation model (DEM)\, or triangulated irregular network (TIN). In this workshop we will focus on DEM and TIN. We will learn about each model and related data structure\, their relative strengths\, the kind of information they provide\, and how to obtain downstream derived information. This is a lecture-style workshop and the primary focus will be about understanding the two models. However\, we will also see examples in ArcGIS or QGIS \n\nParticipants should know GIS and be familiar with vector and raster data.

SUMMARY:Advanced research computing on the Great Lakes Cluster
DESCRIPTION:OVERVIEW\n\n\nThis workshop will cover some more advanced topics in computing on the U-M Great Lakes Cluster. Topics to be covered include a review of common parallel programming models and basic use of Great Lakes; dependent and array scheduling; workflow scripting using bash; high-throughput computing using launcher; parallel processing in one or more of Python\, R\, and MATLAB; and profiling of parallel code using Allinea Performance Reports and Allinea MAP. \nPRE-REQUISITES\nThis course assumes familiarity with the Linux command line as might be got from the CSCAR/ARC-TS workshop Introduction to the Linux Command Line. In particular\, participants should understand how files and folders work\, be able to create text files using the nano editor\, be able to create and remove files and folders\, and understand what input and output redirection are and how to use them. \nINSTRUCTORS\nDr. Charles J Antonelli\nResearch Computing Services\nLSA Technology Services \nCharles is a member of the LSA Technology Services Research team at the University of Michigan\, where he is responsible for high performance computing support and education\, and was an Advocate to the Departments of History and Communications. Prior to this\, he built a parallel data ingestion component of a novel earth science data assimilation system\, a secure packet vault\, and worked on the No. 5 ESS Switch at Bell Labs in the 80s. He has taught courses in operating systems\, distributed file systems\, C++ programming\, security\, and database application design. \nJohn Thiels\nResearch Computing Services\nLSA Technology Services \nMATERIALS\n\nLecture Notes\nGreat Lakes Slurm HPC cluster\nGreat Lakes User Guide\nTwo-page Cheat Sheet\nMPI Profiling with Allinea MAP\n\n\nCOURSE PREPARATION\nIn order to participate successfully in the workshop exercises\, you must have a user login\, a Slurm account\, and be enrolled in Duo. The user login allows you to log in to the cluster\, create\, compile\, and test applications\, and prepare jobs for submission. The Slurm account allows you to submit those jobs\, executing the applications in parallel on the cluster and charging their resource use to the account. Duo is required to help authenticate you to the cluster. \nUSER LOGIN\nIf you already have a Great Lakes user login\, you don’t need to do anything.  Otherwise\, go to the Great Lakes user login application page at: http://arc-ts.umich.edu/login-request/ . \nPlease note that obtaining a user account requires human processing\, so be sure to do this at least two business days before class begins. \nSLURM ACCOUNT\nWe create a Slurm account for the workshop so you can run jobs on the cluster during the workshop and for one day after for those who would like additional practice. The workshop job account is quite limited and is intended only to run examples to help you cement the details of job submission and management. If you already have an existing Slurm account\, you can use that\, though if there are any issues with that account\, we will ask you to use the workshop account. \nDUO AUTHENTICATION\nDuo two-factor authentication is required to log in to the cluster. When logging in\, you will need to type your UMICH (AKA Level 1) password as well as authenticate through Duo in order to access Great Lakes. \nIf you need to enroll in Duo\, follow the instructions at Enroll a Smartphone or Tablet in Duo. \nPlease enroll in Duo before you come to class. \n\nLAPTOP PREPARATION\nYou will need VPN software to access the U-M network.  If you do not have VPN software already installed\, please download and install the Cisco AnyConnect VPN software following these instructions.  You will need VPN to be able to use the ssh client to connect to Great Lakes. Please use the ‘Campus All traffic’ profile in the Cisco client. \nYou will need an ssh client to connect to the Great Lakes cluster. Mac OS X and Linux platforms have this built-in. Here are a couple of choices for Windows platforms: \n\nDownload and install U-M PuTTY/WinSCP from the Compute at the U website. This includes both the PuTTY ssh client and terminal emulator and a graphical file transfer tool in one installer.  This document describes how to download and use this software\, except please note you will be connecting to greatlakes.arc-ts.umich.edu instead of the cited host.  You must have administrative authority over your computer to install this software.\nDownload PuTTY directly from the developer. Download the putty.exe application listed under “Alternative binary files\,”\, then execute the application.  You do not need administrative authority over your computer to use this software.\n\nOur Great Lakes User Guide in Section 1.2 describes in more detail how to use PuTTY to connect to Great Lakes. \nPlease prepare and test your computer’s ability to make remote connections before class; we cannot stop to debug connection issues during the class. \n\nA Zoom link will be provided to the participants the day before the class. Registration is required.Please note this session will be recorded. \n  \nPlease register at https://ttc.iss.lsa.umich.edu/ttc/sessions/advanced-research-computing-on-the-great-lakes-cluster-10/register/

SUMMARY:Geostatistics – I
DESCRIPTION:Many environmental variables such as temperature\, rainfall\, air pollutants\, and soil nutrients are measured at sparsely sampled point locations. We often need to estimate these variables at one of more unsampled locations. Geostatistics provide tools and techniques to carry out this task. \n\nIn a series of three workshops\, we will cover the basics of Geostatistics. In this first workshop we will understand the idea of stationary random fields\, positive definite functions\, and the fundamental building blocks of Gaussian random fields. This is mainly a lecture style workshop\, but we will also execute some examples in R. The material will also help you understand the foundations of Gaussian Process Regression\, a commonly used technique in Machine Learning and AI.
