Find out more »Join the NCDS DataBytes webinar Universities and academic institutions broadly have taken up the mantle of trying to educate and train the data scientists and data-enabled professionals of the future. The question, however, of how data science fits into a university is still an open one. Here, we will explore models for data science education from academic institutions across the country and gain perspective on the pros and cons if different approaches.

This allows iRODS to be surfaced into any existing infrastructure with just a mount command, while still preserving the server-side policies enforced by the iRODS API. The demo explains the security model assumptions and shows events from regular file system activity appearing in an iRODS audit dashboard. TRiRODS is a local meetup for iRODS users and developers in the RDU area. TRiRODS…

You can use Jupyter Notebooks easily with the Chameleon testbed via our shared JupyterHub environment. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to access your Notebook server, how to start and control experiments on the testbed, and hopefully leave with some…

Abstract Although artificial neural networks are powerful classifiers, their internal structures are hard to interpret. In the life sciences, extensive knowledge of cell biology provides an opportunity to design visible neural networks (VNNs) that couple the model's inner workings to those of real systems. Here we develop DCell, a VNN embedded in the hierarchical structure of 2,526 subsystems comprising a eukaryotic cell (http://d-cell.ucsd.edu/). Trained…

The meeting hosts presentations from the user community and the core development team, including use case presentations, live demonstrations, and open discussions about requested iRODS features.
Find out more »Join the Chameleon webinar Many networking and distributed computing experiments require servers and clients distributed across a wide-area environment. Typically, these experiments use the publicly accessible Internet to send network traffic between the different parts of the experiment. Although the Internet is easy to use and adequate for many experiments it does come with limitations. The shared nature of the Internet makes it difficult to control for congestion and security issues caused by factors outside of your experiment. Further, the…
