Welcome back! A quick reminder that our first tea talk of the year is happening today at 15h00.

Here is a quick teaser:

Abstract: Rerun your experiment on a range of parameters? Train your model on that big dataset you always wanted using HPC? Create big pipelines that can be run as needed? If that sounds appealing to you, then you should join this talk about the Renku workflow functionality and other improvements.

Heads up! Our second talk of the year is once again happening today at 15h00.

@romainGuiet will be presenting: “Renku for BioImage Analysis: How to easily share, use & teach Deep Learning tools”

Abstract: BioImage Analysis have been gifted with a growing number of Deep Learning tools for the past years. Many of them offer an easy way to do prediction but performing training often requires installation procedures that are not part of the Biologist background. Renku offers an easy way to share & use prepared installation templates, including notebooks and datasets, which also facilitates teaching.

Link to the talk (it’s always the same one :smile:)

See you there!

Due to recent events, we will be postponing our Tea Talk today from Volodymyr Savchenko and his colleagues.

We look forward to seeing you back at a future Tea Talk.

:mega: We are pleased to announce that we will have one last Renku talk before the summer break.

  • Date: Friday 2022-06-10T13:00:00Z
  • Speaker: @volodymyrss and his colleagues
  • Place: zoom link
  • Topic: SmartSky: FAIR Astrophysical Workflows in Renku :sparkles: :frog:
  • Abstract: Modern astronomy relies on leveraging increasingly diverse data and methods, making it difficult for traditionally specialized researchers to grasp the necessarily broad view of the cosmic phenomena. In addition, some of the most prolific astrophysical sources of the recent years are transient in nature, and can only be tackled with autonomous tools. I will describe how we are addressing these two challenges by creating Renku-supported environment for building astrophysical workflows capturing specialized scientific expertise in a FAIR way. The preserved workflows are exploited by researchers across broad range of astronomical domains, as well as by autonomous orchestrators, opening new opportunities for discoveries.

Your feedback is important to us. Please fill in this form to let us know your day/time preferences for the next round of Renku talks!
