A visual introduction to Gaussian Belief Propagation
0
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.

Participants are encouraged to collaborate and share effective practices and resources that help higher education institutions prepare for and comply with the NIST 800-171 standard as it relates to Federal Student Aid (FSA), CMMC, DFARS, NIH, and NSF activities.
Numpy - a Python Library
0
Numpy is a python package that leverages types and compiled C code to make many math operations in Python efficient. It is especially useful for matrix manipulation and operations.
Research Software Engineering Training Materials
0
An ongoing collection of RSE training material, workshops, and resources. We are compiling this list as a starting point for future activities. We are especially seeking material that goes beyond basic research computing competency (e.g. what The Carpentries does so well) and is general enough to span multiple domains. Specific tools and technologies used only in one domain, or applicable to only one subset of computing (i.e. HPC) are typically too narrowly focused. When in doubt, submit it to be included or reach out and we’d be happy to discuss.

Data Analysis with R for Educators
0
This webinar series is an orientation to R. We start with an overview of R’s history and place in the larger data science ecosystem. Next, we introduce the R Studio user interface and how to access R’s excellent documentation. Finally, we present the fundamental concepts you need to use the R environment and language for data analysis. Along the way, we compare R script files (.R) to R Notebook (.Rmd) files and show how the features of R Notebook support better communication and encourage more dynamic engagement with statistical analysis and code. It is helpful to be familiar with tabular data analysis using statistical software, database tools, or spreadsheet programs.
Workshop materials, including setup directions and slides are available at https://github.com/CornellCAC/r_for_edu/ The Rstudio Cloud project used in the workshop is https://rstudio.cloud/project/4044219.

The following link elaborates the usage of OpenMP API and its related syntax. There are also several exercises available for learners to help them get familiar with this widely-used tool for multi-threaded realization.
Neurodesk
0
Neurodesk provides a containerised data analysis environment to facilitate reproducible analysis of neuroimaging data. Analysis pipelines for neuroimaging data typically rely on specific versions of packages and software, and are dependent on their native operating system. These dependencies mean that a working analysis pipeline may fail or produce different results on a new computer, or even on the same computer after a software update. Neurodesk provides a platform in which anyone, anywhere, using any computer can reproduce your original research findings given the original data and analysis code.
Understanding LLM Fine-tuning

Research Software Development in JupyterLab: A Platform for Collaboration Between Scientists and RSEs
0
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.
