SUMMARY:Boosting Python for High Performance Data Analytics (1) Interpreter War
DESCRIPTION:While Python becomes the most popular programming language since 2019\, data scientists often have a few common complaints about its slow speed and the limited capabilities of handling the big data scenarios. In this workshop series\, we will present an extensive discussion on how to improve the performance of Python in data science by looking under the hood of its language/libraries and using the technologies to make Python a practical solution for high-performance big data analytics. \nIn the first session\, we will focus on how to boost the speed of python code in an interperter level by explaining the concepts (e.g.\, GIL\, GIT) and introducing the packages of pypy\, numba\, pythran\, cython etc. Although no specific prerequisite is required to attend the talk\, having programming experience in Python will be helpful to fully understand the lecture content. \nAny questions about this workshop can be emailed to huqy@oarc.ucla.edu. \nRegister here: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAod-mrrTwjHdYrBwSM9C3rtRTPAkhEBQXc

SUMMARY:Hierarchical Bayesian modeling with applications for spatial environmental data science
DESCRIPTION:IDRE ECR Group is excited to announce the following workshop on Hierarchical Bayesian modeling with applications for spatial environmental data science: \nTitle: Hierarchical Bayesian modeling with applications for spatial environmental data science \nDate and Time: Friday\, May 6\, 2022\, @9 AM (PST) \nRecording is available here: https://youtu.be/Ubsns37DD_U \nAbstract: Effectively addressing pressing environmental problems in the modern era requires flexible analytical approaches capable of leveraging the diverse stream of data resources now available to make a reliable statistical inference. Hierarchical Bayesian methods serve as a powerful resource in this regard\, allowing researchers to model complex dynamics while explicitly quantifying uncertainty in model output. \nThis two-part workshop will focus on the application of hierarchical Bayesian models for environmental data science. Part I (morning session) will serve as an introduction to Bayesian modeling using Stan. Part II (afternoon session) will focus on taking a hierarchical Bayesian approach to spatial data science\, covering exploratory spatial data analysis (e.g.\, variogram fitting) and the basics of geostatistical modeling approaches (e.g.\, Gaussian Processes). The material will be directed towards those with a basic understanding of linear regression and familiarity with R\, but no or limited prior experience with Bayesian modeling. Participants will practice fitting models during the workshop and\, upon completion\, understand the basics of a principled approach to spatial environmental data science using a hierarchical Bayesian approach. \nTentative agenda*: Friday\, May 6\, 2022\, at 9 AM (PST) \n\n\n\nTime (PST)\nPresentation title (speaker)\n\n\n09:00 AM – 09:05 AM\nWelcome and Introduction\n\n\n09:05 AM – 12:00 PM\nIntro to hierarchical Bayesian modeling using Stan (Instructor: Youngflesh)\n\n\n12:00 PM – 01: 00 PM\nLunch break\n\n\n01:00 PM – 04:00 PM\nHierarchical Bayesian modeling for spatial data science (Instructor: Banerjee)\n\n\n\n*Software needed for hands-on exercises is listed here: https://github.com/caseyyoungflesh/IDRE-Hierarchicial-Bayesian-Modeling.

SUMMARY:Using Container on HPC resources
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will go over how to use container on HPC resources. Containers are a great way to run scientific software on various HPC platforms. Users can create a ‘virtual’ OS to easily install any application and transfer it to any system with container software. This workshop will cover how to build and use containers to run on HPC resources. We will use many examples of scientific software\, such as\, Nwchem\, R and Rstudio\, Python and Jupyter\, etc. We will work on UCLA’s HPC resource\, Hoffman2 (H2). H2 has the container software\, Apptainer (formerly Singularity) where researchers can run containerize applications. To follow along with the instructor\, a Hoffman2 account will be needed. Also\, it is suggested to have apptainer/singularity on a machine you have admin access (a few examples will also use Docker on these machines as well). \nAny questions about this workshop can be emailed to cpeterson@oarc.ucla.edu. \nRegister here: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEof–tqDkvGt246X0M56GXudjFp5lcc54v

SUMMARY:Building a patient motion model for Radiotherapy
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nSpeaker: Ricky Savjani\, Ph.D.\nIDRE Scholar\,\nDepartment of Radiation Oncology\,\nUniversity of California Los Angeles \n  \n  \nAbstract: Several technological advances in radiotherapy have enabled the use of focused radiation to treat solid tumors within the thoracic cavity. Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) offers a way to treat patients with high doses of radiation with just a few (three to five) treatments entirely non-invasively\, providing excellent tumor control for both early stage non-small cell lung cancer and metastatic disease. However\, respiratory motion causes the tumor and surrounding organs at risk to move. This movement is particularly concerning for thoracic SBRT\, as radiation pneumonitis stems largely from an inability to visualize the tumor and lungs during treatment and thus requires larger margins. Respiratory motion has been characterized as irregular (can differ from breath to breath and minute to minute) and can induce motion of 5 cm or more\, particularly at the diaphragm. Overall\, there is a pressing need to measure and monitor thoracic motion while cancer patients are being treated with radiotherapy. \nOur group at UCLA has previously created a 5DCT model to better represent a patient’s tumor motion. Patients are allowed to breathe freely while they undergo 25 fast\, low-dose helical CT scans during simulation prior to radiation therapy. An over-determined linear model is fit to find the position of any voxel based on the initial position and the current tidal volume and airflow. The corresponding imaged motion of the tumor and thoracic cavity can more accurately be measured with 5DCT compared to traditional 4DCT models. \nWe now have a large cohort of data (n = 91 patients) to begin fitting an inter-patient motion model. Working with Varian\, A Siemens Healthineers Company\, we have applied auto segmentation models to each of the 25 scans for each patient. We have trained a Conditional Variational Autoencoder (cVAE) model to generate deformations between any two pairs CT volumes. The embedded space can be visualized in 3D\, and we are now working on ways to drive the amount of inhalation/exhalation using an external surrogate (a belt the patient wears while being treated). In this way\, we envision generating 3D volumetric representations at the treatment console while patients are being treated with radiotherapy in real-time. \nAbout the speaker: Ricky Savjani is a resident physician in the Department of Radiation Oncology at UCLA. As part of his training\, he is conducting research through the American Board of Radiology Holman Research Pathway\, in addition to seeing patients clinically to become a radiation oncologist. Prior to joining UCLA\, Ricky received BS degrees in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science and Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT. He then pursued an MD/Ph.D. at Texas A&M College of Medicine\, where his research focused on structural and functional imaging of the human brain. Ricky loves medical imaging and hopes to continue to use advanced imaging approaches to deliver safer and better radiation to patients. \nLocation: Zoom (RSVP here for the link)

SUMMARY:Introduction to Photogrammetry and Mobile LiDAR Scanning
DESCRIPTION:Please REGISTER in advance here.\nWorkshop will be conducted in Zoom in PST time. Invites are sent out the day before the workshop. \n\n  \n3D models can be formed in a number of ways. Two common surveying methods that result in 3D models are photogrammetry and light detection and ranging or lidar for short. \nA form of photogrammetry has been around since the beginnings of photography in the mid-19th century. The term usually refers to the method by which 2D images are compared and combined using optics\, projective geometry\, and computing to produce a 3D model. This method of image overlap to create a dimensional model is applied in many object-oriented disciplines such as archeology\, topographic mapping\, architecture\, engineering\, manufacturing\, quality control\, police investigation\, cultural heritage\, and geology. \nLidar is a method for measuring distances (ranging) by illuminating the target with laser light and measuring the reflection with a sensor. Differences in laser return times and wavelengths can then be used to make digital 3D representations of the target. While long used in the earth sciences\, lidar is becoming increasingly available to all as these sensors are being added to cellular mobile devices\, increasing its academic and commercial potential. \nIn this workshop\, participants will learn about the hardware and software required for these methods. We will also cover the workflow that is involved in producing photogrammetric and lidar 3D models. All levels welcome. \nIf you have any further questions regarding the workshop\, please contact the instructor\, Dr. Francesca Albrezzi at falbrezzi@ucla.edu

SUMMARY:Retiring Statistical Significance: Interpreting and Reporting P - Values and Confidence Intervals Without Significance Testing
DESCRIPTION:Please REGISTER in advance here.\nWorkshop will be conducted in Zoom in PST time. Invites are sent out the day before the workshop. \n\n  \nThe misuse of null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) and p-value thresholds\, together with selective reporting of statistically significant results\, have produced an inundation of overstated conclusions and unreplicable results in scientific research.  Many of these abuses come from misunderstandings of how to interpret p-values\, confidence intervals\, the words “statistical significance”\, and the uncertainty in a statistical result.  The misuse is so widespread that the American Statistical Association is calling for the retirement of NHST and the words “statistical significance”.  In this workshop\, you’ll learn current recommendations of how to interpret and report the results of statistical analyses to reflect the uncertainty in the findings and to make expectations of future replication more realistic.  Hopefully\, the adoption of these methods will refocus the aims of research to find scientifically significant rather than statistically significant results. \n  \nIf you have any further questions regarding the workshop\, please contact Stats Group.

SUMMARY:Using Anaconda to manage packages on Hoffman2 Cluster
DESCRIPTION:Anaconda is a popular\, free and open-source distribution of many packages for scientific computing and data analysis. It is easy to use Anaconda to install and manage packages because of its ability to resolve version conflicts and package dependencies. On the Hoffman2 cluster\, however\, the environment is structurally different from that of a personal computer; there are other best practices to be considered. One can take advantage of the system-wide Anaconda base to install one’s own packages or to build virtual environment. One can also install and use community codes based on the existing system setting outside of Anaconda’s base. In this workshop\, we will address how to use Anaconda to install and manage packages and virtual environments on Hoffman2. The criterion\, availability\, the pros and cons of using the local and system-wide installations will be also discussed.\n\nPlease REGISTER in advance: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0tceGtpz8sEtfT4pp2yFKckipGwRPEnW14\nIf you have any further questions regarding the workshop\, please contact the instructor Jerry Huang.
