This website is an interactive introduction to Gaussian Belief Propagation (GBP). A probabilistic inference algorithm that operates by passing messages between the nodes of arbitrarily structured factor graphs. A special case of loopy belief propagation, GBP updates rely only on local information and will converge independently of the message schedule. The key argument is that, given recent trends in computing hardware, GBP has the right computational properties to act as a scalable distributed probabilistic inference framework for future machine learning systems.
This repository contains information about Jupyter Widgets and how they can be used to develop interactive workflows, data dashboards, and web applications that can be run on HPC systems and science gateways. Easy to build web applications are not only useful for scientists. They can also be used by software engineers and system admins who want to quickly create tools tools for file management and more!
This tutorial is essentially the "hello world" of image recognition and feed-forward neural network (using PyTorch). Using the MNIST database (filled within images of handwritten digits), the tutorial will instruct how to build a feed-forward neural network that can recognize handwritten digits. A solid understanding of feed-forward and back-propagation is recommended.
This is a very barebones introduction to the PyTorch framework used to implement machine learning. This tutorial implements a feed-forward neural network and is taught completely asynchronously through Stanford University. A good start after learning the theory behind feed-forward neural networks.
Fastai offers many tools to people working with machine learning and artifical intelligence including tutorials on PyTorch in addition to their own library built on PyTorch, news articles, and other resources to dive into this realm.
Feed-forward neural networks are a simple type of network that simply rely on data to be "fed-forward" through a series of layers that makes decisions on how to categorize datum. Gradient descent is a type of optimization tool that is often used to train machines. These two areas in ML are good starting points and are the easiest types of neural network/optimization to understand.
InsideHPC is an informational site offers videos, research papers, articles, and other resources focused on machine learning and quantum computing among other topics within high performance computing.
