Linux Tutorial from Ryan's Tutorials
0
The following pages are intended to give you a solid foundation in how to use the terminal, to get the computer to do useful work for you. You won't be a Unix guru at the end but you will be well on your way and armed with the right knowledge and skills to get you there if that's what you want (which you should because that will make you even more awesome). Here you will learn the Linux command line (Bash) with our 13 part beginners tutorial. It contains clear descriptions, command outlines, examples, shortcuts and best practice. At first, the Linux command line may seem daunting, complex and scary. It is actually quite simple and intuitive (once you understand what is going on that is), and once you work through the following sections you will understand what is going on. Unix likes to take the approach of giving you a set of building blocks and then letting you put them together. This allows us to build things to suit our needs. With a bit of creativity and logical thinking, mixed in with an appreciation of how the blocks work, we can assemble tools to do virtually anything we want. The aim is to be lazy. Why should we do anything we can get the computer to do for us? The only reason I can think of is that you don't know how (but after working through these pages you will know how, so then there won't be a good reason). A question that may have crossed your mind is "Why should I bother learning the command line? The Graphical User Interface is much easier and I can already do most of what I need there." To a certain extent you would be right, and by no means am I suggesting you should ditch the GUI. Some tasks are best suited to a GUI, word processing and video editing are great examples. At the same time, some tasks are more suited to the command line, data manipulation (reporting) and file management are some good examples. Some tasks will be just as easy in either environment. Think of the command line as another tool you can add to your belt. As always, pick the best tool for the job.
Solving differential equations with Physics-informed Neural Network
0
Differential equations, the backbone of countless physical phenomena, have traditionally been solved using numerical methods or analytical techniques. However, the advent of deep learning introduces an intriguing alternative: Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). By leveraging the representational power of neural networks and integrating physical laws (like differential equations), PINNs offer a novel approach to solving complex problems. This guide walks through an implementation of a PINN to solve DEs such as the logistic equation.
Better Scientific Software (BSSw)
0
The Better Scientific Software (BSSw) project provides a community to collaborate and learn about best practices in scientific software development. Software—the foundation of discovery in computational science & engineering—faces increasing complexity in computational models and computer architectures. BSSw provides a central hub for the community to address pressing challenges in software productivity, quality, and sustainability.
Data Visualization Tools for Julia
0
Plots.jl is the most widely used plotting library for the Julia programming language. It's known for being especially powerful in its versatility and intuitiveness. It's limited set of dependencies and wide applicability across different graphics packages make it especially helpful in visualizing the results of your latest Julia implementation.
However, there are still multiple options available for Julia programmers to visualize their datasets. The second link details a comparison against a variety of Julia packages.
Introduction to Probabilistic Graphical Models
0
This website summarizes the notes of Stanford's introductory course on probabilistic graphical models.
It starts from the very basics and concludes by explaining from first principles the variational auto-encoder, an important probabilistic model that is also one of the most influential recent results in deep learning.
Developer Stories Podcast
0
As developers, we get excited to think about challenging problems. When you ask us what we are working on, our eyes light up like children in a candy store. So why is it that so many of our developer and software origin stories are not told? How did we get to where we are today, and what did we learn along the way? This podcast aims to look “Behind the Scenes of Tech’s Passion Projects and People.” We want to know your developer story, what you have built, and why. We are an inclusive community - whatever kind of institution or country you hail from, if you are passionate about software and technology you are welcome!

Displaying Scientific Data with Tableau
0
Tableau is a popular and capable software product for creating charts that present data and dashboards that allow you to explore data. It is typically used to present business or statistical data, but can also create compelling visualizations of scientific data. However, scientific data is often generated or stored in formats that are not immediately accessible by Tableau. This seminar will explore the data formats that work best with Tableau and the available mechanisms for generating scientific data in (or converting it to) those formats so that you can apply the full power of Tableau to create the best possible visualizations of your data.

Feed Forward NNs and Gradient Descent
0
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.
