These resources have been contributed and “vetted” by the community of cyberinfrastructure professionals (researchers, research computing facilitators, research software engineers and HPC system administrators) that are participating in programs such as this one, that are supported by the ConnectCI community management platform. Additional Knowledge Base Resources are always welcome!
DeapSECURE is a training program to infuse high-performance computational techniques into cybersecurity research and education. It is an NSF-funded project of the ODU School of Cybersecurity along with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Information Technology Services at ODU. The DeapSECURE team has developed six non-degree training modules to expose cybersecurity students to advanced CI platforms and techniques rooted in big data, machine learning, neural networks, and high-performance programming. Techniques taught in DeapSECURE workshops are rather general and transferable to other areas including science, engineering, finance, linguistics, etc. All lesson materials are made available as open-source educational resources.
The Julia Programming Language is one of the fastest growing software languages for AI/ML development. It writes in manner that's similar to Python while being nearly as fast as C++, while being open source, and reproducible across platforms and environments. The following link provide an introduction to using Julia including the basic syntax, data structures, key functions, and a few key packages.
The authoritative book on automated machine learning, which allows practitioners without ML expertise to develop and deploy state-of-the-art machine learning approaches. Describes the background of techniques used in detail, along with tools that are available for free.
The free online book for the mlr3 machine learning framework for R. Gives a comprehensive overview of the package and ecosystem, suitable from beginners to experts. You'll learn how to build and evaluate machine learning models, build complex machine learning pipelines, tune their performance automatically, and explain how machine learning models arrive at their predictions.
Iterative Programming takes place when you can explore your code and play with your objects and functions without needing to save, recompile, or leave your development environment. This has traditionally been achieved with a REPL or an interactive shell. The magic of Jupyter Notebooks is that the interactive shell is saved as a persistant document, so you don't have to flip back and forth between your code files and the shell in order to program iteratively.
There are several editors and IDE's that are intended for notebook development, but JupyterLab is a natural choice because it is free and open source and most closely related to the Jupyter Notebooks/iPython projects. The chief motivation of this repository is to enable an IDE-like development environment through the use of extensions. There are also expositional notebooks to show off the usefulness of these features.
