The Docker container library, commonly known as Docker Hub, is a vast repository that hosts a multitude of pre-configured container images, streamlining the deployment process. It can drastically speed up a workflow, and gives you a consistent starting point each time. Check it out, they might have exactly what you are looking for!

The official MGH / Harvard tutorial page for FreeSurfer. The FreeSurfer group has provided and designed a series of tutorials for using FreeSurfer and for getting acquainted with the concepts needed to perform its various modes of analysis and processing of MRI data. The tutorials are designed to be followed along in a terminal window where commands can be copy/pasted instead of typed.

This documentation provides an overview of the PetIGA framework, an open source code for solving multiphysics problems with isogeometric analysis. The documentation covers some simple tutorials and examples to help users get started with the framework and apply it to solve real-world problems in continuum mechanics, including solid and fluid mechanics.

Mathematical optimization deals with the problem of finding numerically minimums or maximums of a functions. This tutorial provides the Python solutions for the optimization problems with examples.

This is a very barebones introduction to the PyTorch framework used to implement machine learning. This tutorial implements a feed-forward neural network and is taught completely asynchronously through Stanford University. A good start after learning the theory behind feed-forward neural networks.

This video series provides a holistic understanding of machine learning, covering theory, application, and inner workings of supervised, unsupervised, and deep learning algorithms. It covers topics such as linear regression, K Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector Machines (SVM), flat clustering, hierarchical clustering, and neural networks. Goes over the high level intuitions of the algorithms and how they are logically meant to work. Apply the algorithms in code using real world data sets along with a module, such as with Scikit-Learn.

The United Nations (UN) is an international organization comprising 193 Member States, including the United States. As a global organization, the UN is the one place on Earth where the world's nations can gather to discuss common problems and find shared solutions that benefit all humanity. This handbook has been produced for UN staff of all backgrounds and levels and provides an overview of how to approach your participation in a mentorship program. This resource is quickly digestible and provides a basic structure that will be helpful to review before the first meeting with your mentee.

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.

Containerization is a software development method in which applications are packaged into standard units for development, shipment, and deployment.

Hour of Cyberinfrastructure (Hour of CI) is a nationwide campaign to introduce undergraduate and graduate students to cyberinfrastructure and geographic information science (GIS).

Techniques and support for multithreaded geospatial data processing in GRASS.

This course takes through the fundamentals required to get started with reinforcement learning with Python, OpenAI Gym and Stable Baselines. You'll be able to build deep learning powered agents to solve a varying number of RL problems including CartPole, Breakout and CarRacing as well as learning how to build your very own/custom environment!

This is a resource for researchers and students looking to on-board onto the c3ddb cluster at MGHPCC. In the code section, there are example job submission scripts for the different queues on c3ddb.

Unix is incredibly common and useful. This website provides all the common commands and explanations for one to get started with a unix system.

The following link provides an easy method of implementing Markov Decision Processes (MDP) in the Julia computing language. MDPs are a class of algorithms designed to handle stochastic situations where the actor has some level of control. For example, used at a low level, MDPs can be used to control an inverted pendulum, but applied in higher level decision making the can also decide when to take evasive action in air traffic management. MDPs can also be extended to the partially observable domain to form the Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP). This link contains a wealth of information to show one can easily implement basic POMDP and MDP algorithms and apply well known online and offline solvers.
