High Performance Computing (HPC) Cluster

Python has become a very popular programming language and software ecosystem for work in Data Science, integrating support for data access, data processing, modeling, machine learning, and visualization. In this webinar, we will describe some of the key Python packages that have been developed to support that work, and highlight some of their capabilities. This webinar will also serve as an introduction and overview of topics addressed in two Cornell Virtual Workshop tutorials, available at https://cvw.cac.cornell.edu/pydatasci1 and https://cvw.cac.cornell.edu/pydatasci2

Training materials for using the bash (and zsh) shell.

Regular expressions (sometimes referred to as RegEx) is an incredibly powerful tool that is used to define string patterns for "find" or "find and replace" operations on strings, or for input validation. Regular Expressions are used in search engines, in search and replace dialogs of word processors and text editors, and text-processing Linux utilities such as sed and awk. They are supported in many programming languages, including Python, R, Perl, Java, and others.

This google colab notebook tutorial demonstrates how to create and train an lstm model in pytorch to be used to predict time series data. An airline passenger dataset is used as an example.
