ConnectCI
0
Connect.Cybinfrastructure is a family of portals, each representing a program that is serving a segment of the research computing and data community. Each portal provides program-specific information, as well a custom "view" into a common database. The portal was originally developed to support project workflows and a knowledge base of self service learning resources for the Northeast Cyberteam. Subsequently, it was expanded to provide support to multiple cyberteams and other research computing communities of practice. We welcome additional communities, please contact us if you are interested in participating. Central to the Portal is an extensive and ever-evolving tagging infrastructure which informs every aspect of the Portal. The tag taxonomy was initially developed by the Northeast Cyberteam to categorize subject matter relevant to practitioners of Research Computing Facilitation and is ever changing due to the frequent introduction of new technology in domains that characterize the field of research computing.

What are LSTMs?
0
This reading will explain what a long short-term memory neural network is. LSTMs are a type of neural networks that rely on both past and present data to make decisions about future data. It relies on loops back to previous data to make such decisions. This makes LSTMs very good for predicting time-dependent behavior.
Metadata Systems
0
Metadata is a vital topic in libraries and librarianship, encompassing structured information used for accessing digital resources. The definition of metadata varies but is essentially data about data. It has evolved beyond simply describing metadata schemas and now focuses on topics like interoperability, non-descriptive metadata (administrative and preservation metadata), and the effective application of metadata schemas for user discovery. Interoperability, the ability to seamlessly exchange metadata between systems, is a major concern. Different levels of interoperability are examined, including schema-level, record-level, and repository-level. Challenges to interoperability include variations in standards, collaboration barriers, and costs.Metadata management is discussed in terms of the holistic management of metadata across an entire library. Steps include analyzing metadata requirements, adopting schema, creating metadata content, delivery/access, evaluation, and maintenance. Administrative metadata, which encompasses ownership and production information, is becoming more critical, particularly for electronic resource licensing. Preservation metadata is also gaining importance in ensuring the long-term viability of digital objects.

Horovod: Distributed deep learning training framework
0
Horovod is a distributed deep learning training framework. Using horovod, a single-GPU training script can be scaled to train across many GPUs in parallel. The library supports popular deep learning framework such as TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch, and Apache MXNet.
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.

Background: Big data, defined as having high volume, complexity or velocity, have the potential to greatly accelerate research discovery. Such data can be challenging to work with and require research support and training to address technical and ethical challenges surrounding big data collection, analysis, and publication.
Methods: The present study was conducted via a series of semi-structured interviews to assess big data methodologies employed by CU Boulder researchers across a broad sample of disciplines, with the goal of illuminating how they conduct their research; identifying challenges and needs; and providing recommendations for addressing them.
Findings: Key results and conclusions from the study indicate: gaps in awareness of existing big data services provided by CU Boulder; open questions surrounding big data ethics, security and privacy issues; a need for clarity on how to attribute credit for big data research; and a preference for a variety of training options to support big data research.
