SUMMARY:Parallel Parallel Computing 1: Running MPI programs
DESCRIPTION:MPI (Message Passing Interface) is a standardized interface for writing portable distributed-memory parallel scientific code. The portability of MPI ensures the same MPI program works the same way on different platforms\, ranging from laptop computers to massively parallel supercomputers. MPI has been widely used in advanced simulations\, data analysis and visualization in the last three decades. An MPI program typically launches a set of processes distributed across multiple CPU cores or compute nodes. Each process would perform a part of the computations and the processes communicate with each other as needed. The communication is transparently controlled by the user code (which makes MPI calls)\, and the processes are managed by the MPI runtime system\, which can also be controlled by the user. This workshop series introduces MPI for scientific computing from a user’s perspective:\n– 1. Running MPI programs: This session explains the practical aspects of using the MPI runtime/process management system\, and how it interacts with the job scheduler of a HPC cluster using Hoffman2 Cluster as an example. \nAny questions about this workshop can be emailed to Shao-Ching Huang at sch@ucla.edu.  \nPresented by the Office of Advanced Research Computing (OARC). \nRegister here: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJItdemurj4pGdGAiGTtOjW-Z1UwcJ7j2grw

SUMMARY:Introduction to Mplus
DESCRIPTION:Mplus is a powerful statistical package used for the analysis of latent variables. Among the kinds of analysis it can perform are exploratory factor analysis\, confirmatory factor analysis\, latent class analysis\, latent growth curve modeling\, structural equation modeling and multilevel modeling. The program can handle a combination of categorical and continuous variables and often permits missing data. It integrates these analyses into a single framework where you can combine techniques like growth curve modeling and latent class analysis to ask unique questions\, such as “Are there latent classes among the growth trajectories?”. This workshop is designed for people who are just getting started using Mplus to orient them to the nuts and bolts of using this package. \nAny questions about this workshop can be emailed to Christine Wells at crwells@ucla.edu.  \nPresented by the Office of Advanced Research Computing (OARC). \nRegister here: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAkcu6prjsjHtfHvKPr77kTl82_s2IpV03V

SUMMARY:Understanding scientific fields via network analysis and topic modeling
DESCRIPTION:  \nSpeaker: Harlin Lee\, Ph.D.\nIDRE Fellow\nMathematics Department\nUniversity of California Los Angeles \n  \nLocation: Virtual \nRecording: https://youtu.be/EkY_4gre9yU\n \n  \nAbstract: As scientific disciplines get larger and more complex\, it becomes impossible for an individual researcher to be familiar with the entire body of literature. This forces them to specialize in a sub-field\, and unfortunately\, such insulation can hinder the birth of ideas that arise from new connections\, eventually slowing down scientific progress. As such\, discovering fruitful interdisciplinary connections by analyzing scientific publications is an important problem in the science of science. This talk will present several past and ongoing projects towards answering that question using tools from network analysis and topic modeling: 1) a dynamic-embedding-based method for link prediction in a machine learning/AI semantic network\, 2) finding communities in cognitive science that study similar topics but do not cite each other or publish in the same venues\, and 3) developing theoretically grounded hypergraph embedding methods to capture surprising collaborations or missed opportunities. \nAbout the speaker: \nDr. Harlin Lee is a Hedrick Assistant Adjunct Professor at UCLA Mathematics. She received her Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in 2021. She also has an MS in Machine Learning from Carnegie Mellon University\, and a BS + MEng in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT. Her research is on learning from high-dimensional data supported on structures such as graphs (networks)\, low-dimensional subspace\, or sparsity\, motivated by applications in healthcare and social science. Dr. Lee’s lifelong vision is to use data theory to help everyone live physically\, mentally\, and socially healthier.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Seyoon Ko\, Ph.D.\nIDRE Fellow\nComputational Medicine\nUniversity of California Los Angeles \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \nLocation: Virtual \nRecording of the presentation: https://youtu.be/8YAyHAp9Pfc \nAbstract: Admixture estimation is crucial in ancestry inference and genomewide association studies (GWAS). Computer programs such as ADMIXTURE and STRUCTURE are commonly employed to estimate the admixture proportions of sample individuals. However\, these programs can be overwhelmed by the computational burdens imposed by the 10^5 to 10^6 samples and millions of markers commonly found in modern biobanks. An attractive strategy is to run these programs on a set of ancestry informative SNP markers (AIMs) that exhibit substantially different frequencies across populations. Unfortunately\, existing methods for identifying AIMs require knowing ancestry labels for a subset of the sample. This supervised learning approach creates a chicken and the egg scenario. This talk presents an unsupervised\, scalable framework that seamlessly carries out AIM selection and likelihood-based estimation of admixture proportions. The simulated and real data examples show that this approach is scalable to modern biobank data sets. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Ko is a Postdoctoral Scholar working with Dr. Ken Lange and Dr. Hua Zhou in the Department of Computational Medicine. Dr. Ko’s research interests include large-scale computational methods in biostatistics and bioinformatics using parallel and distributed computing. He earned a Ph.D. degree in Statistics from Seoul National University in South Korea\, as well as a M.S. degree in Computational Sciences and a B.S. degree in Physics\, Mathematical Sciences\, and Computational Science.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Getting Started with Registered Reports
DESCRIPTION: Click here for RSVP (snacks will be provided) \nRegistered reports are a new publication mechanism where researchers submit a research proposal to a journal that is peer-reviewed\, and upon acceptance\, the journal agrees to publish the results of the study regardless of the outcome. Registered reports help address key issues which have resulted in replication crises in multiple academic fields\, such as publication bias and p-hacking. In this workshop\, you will learn how to publish registered reports\, the value of registered reports\, how registered reports align with incentives for researchers\, and how registered reports can interface with broader research systems (e.g.\, labs and trainees). \nAfter this workshop\, attendees will be able to… \n\nDefine a registered report and describe its component parts\nSummarize the differences between registered reports and traditional published research\nCompare and contrast the relative barriers and benefits of registered reports and traditional publications.\nIdentify and evaluate journals or other publishing mechanisms (e.g.\, PCI-RR) within their field which publish registered reports\nGenerate a Stage 1 registered report proposal for their own research project\n\nPresenters: Dr. Amanda Kay Montoya is a Quantitative Methodologist in the Department of Psychology at UCLA. Dr. William Krenzer is a Scientific Integrity Associate at Duke University. Drs. Montoya and Krenzer are funded by NSF to research the adoption and impact of registered reports in scientific practice. The team has experience submitting and publishing multiple registered reports\, as well as extensive experience with researchers considering and implementing registered reports and developing tools to improve the ease with which researchers can conduct registered reports.

SUMMARY:Teaching and Research w/ Digital Collections (Part 1): Navigating A World of High-Quality Primary Source Materials
DESCRIPTION:Scholarship of visual materials often requires close looking and comparison across works. Digitization programs at “GLAM” institutions (Galleries\, Libraries\, Archives\, and Museums) around the world\, including the UCLA Library\, have resulted in extraordinary collections of digital facsimiles of rare and unique primary source books\, documents\, artifacts\, and ephemera\, available online. For scholarship and curricular research assignments\, sophisticated digital viewers present high-resolution image-based content\, which allows for close and comparative examination of materials. Interoperable content\, which follows certain standards of web-delivery\, has become crucial for institutions for contrasting objects from different collections. Increasing stability in digital visual scholarship means working from authority files from museums\, libraries\, and archives — institutions are committed to long term preservation and standards. Finding items of interest\, however\, can be a challenge\, as digital collections are not universally searchable using familiar tools and practices\, and they often differ between institutions. \nThis workshop will introduce participants to International Image Interoperability Framework or IIIF (generally pronounced “triple-eye-eff”)\, which is a way to standardize the delivery of images and audio/visual files from servers to different environments on the Web. In this first workshop session in a series of three\, participants will learn: \n\nHow to locate and use digital collections with IIIF content\nThe benefits of IIIF materials for research and teaching\nImage API\nPresentation API\n\nAll levels are welcome. This workshop series is a collaboration between the UCLA Digital Library Program and the Office of Advanced Research Computing. Additional leadership provided by UCLA faculty who have been participating in the LMS Design Lab. \nRegister in advance for this workshop at: \nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYtde6hrjoiE9PMBo89DUQiIh-iEUlRky6a \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

SUMMARY:Teaching & Research w/ Digital Collections (Part 2): Tools and Practices for Engaging Digital Collections Content
DESCRIPTION:The active engagement of digital primary source collections content can\, and often does\, go beyond viewing materials on collections websites. For sustained inquiry\, a wide variety of tools and platforms have been developed that support in-depth scholarly analysis of high quality\, reliably-hosted image-based digital content and enable the creation of public-facing scholarly work products. This workshop is the second in a series about teaching and research with digital collections\, which highlights the affordances of IIIF content (for International Image Interoperability Framework) but it does not require prior knowledge or skills from the first workshop. It will focus upon the “interoperable” use of digital materials outside of their original institutional context\, in both lightweight\, easy-to-use tools for analysis\, presentation and annotation (such as Storiiies\, Exhibit.so\, Mirador\, and MISE)\, and more robust platforms for digital scholarship\, such as Scalar. \nIn this workshop\, participants will learn: \n\nWhat are IIIF manifests and image URLs\, and how can they be used in IIIF-compatible tools and platforms?\nHow to extract details from image-based content\nHow to import materials as linked content into various platforms\nHow to annotate\, caption\, and present content in multimedia essays and exhibits\n\nAll levels are welcome. This workshop series is a collaboration between the UCLA Digital Library Program and the Office of Advanced Research Computing. Additional leadership provided by UCLA faculty who have been participating in the LMS Design Lab. \nRegister in advance for this workshop at: \nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwsc-quqjIsGdG78motdRVq1fiqyxJH3fKg \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
