February 1, 2023: Intro to PyTorch - Priyam Mazumdar Training Overview: This tutorial will introduce basics of PyTorch framework necessary to build a neural network, train it and evaluate the accuracy of the model

Open to faculty and graduate students of any discipline at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. In this workshop you'll unravel the mysteries of your writing barriers, then spend the rest of the day writing and reflecting with other retreaters. And you'll be supported throughout the day by live coaching with InkWell Founder, Michelle Boyd, PhD.

Speaker: Jong Yeon Lee, University of California Santa Barbara

Futurity, or the intentional imagining and materializing of liberated futures—where freedom from oppression, trauma, violence, and discrimination are realized—inspires this talk. Dr Johnson will discuss their methods for conjuring the world and communities in which we want to live and thrive

Speaker: Lintao Li, Covey Group, Department of Physics, UIUC

February 8, 2023: Intro to Tensor Flow - Shirui Luo Training Overview: This tutorial will introduce basics of TensorFlow necessary to build a neural network, train it and evaluate the accuracy of the model.

This participatory workshop aims to disrupt modes of "doing" scholarly analysis of visual art, performance, film and other cultural productions. Registration required.

This seminar with curator, writer, and Ethnic Studies scholar Dr. Thea Quiray Tagle will cover different models of working with BIPOC visual artists that challenge the alienating norms behind much art historical scholarship and curatorial practice.

Join us from 2–3 p.m. CST at 1205 W. Clark St. Urbana, IL, in NCSA 1104 to hear from undergraduate students about their research efforts through the Students Pushing INnovation (SPIN) program at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications.

Speaker: Ian George, Chitambar Group, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, UIUC

February 15, 2023: Distributed Data Parallel Model Training in PyTorch - Shirui Luo Training Overview: This tutorial walks through distributed data parallel training in PyTorch via DDP. We will start with a simple non-distributed training job, and end with deploying a training job across several GPUs in a single HAL node.

Women@NCSA invites you to attend our free virtual event on Wednesday, February 22 to hear from our esteemed speaker Anjuan Simmons on "Lending Privilege," a powerful tool that people can use to expand the diversity of the tech industry.

February 22, 2023: Robust Physics-Informed Neural Networks - Avik Roy Training Overview: Physics Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have recently been found to be effective PDE solvers. This talk will focus on how traditional PINN architectures along with physics-inspired regularizers fail to retrieve the intended solution when training data is noisy and how this probl
