SUMMARY:Automation with Make and Makefiles
DESCRIPTION:Make is a tool that can be used to automate the process of building programs\, libraries\, plots\, and even papers. Make keeps track of the dependencies between files during this process\, and if any file changes\, Make knows how to update the built object to account for the updates. This can be a valuable tool for software development\, where source code files can be frequently updated and recompiled into programs and libraries\, and it can also be valuable more generally for automatable processes with a given set of file dependencies\, processes like running data analytics and visualization scripts or parsing and combining text files and plots into articles. This workshop will be an interactive introduction to working with make. \nAny questions about this workshop can be emailed to Ben Winjum at bwinjum@oarc.ucla.edu. \nPresented by the Office of Advanced Research Computing (OARC). \nRegister here: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYvceurqTMuHdAgS87764pVswhD5B5FvwsE

SUMMARY:Teaching & Research w/ Digital Collections (Part 3): Lessons and Learning Activity Design. Content to consider when drafting
DESCRIPTION:Within the scholarship of teaching and learning\, it has been proven time and again that “Assembling and curating specimen collections is a valuable educational exercise that integrates subject-specific skills such as field collection\, curation\, identification\, organization\, and interpretation of relationships.” (Lucky et. al 2019) Digital collections increasingly avail students and scholars of primary source research materials that were only accessible previously by exclusive arrangement in person\, if at all. Rare and unique items\, such as manuscript documents\, cultural artifacts\, and historical print ephemera\, still present methodological challenges for intensive engagement\, even when they are readily and openly accessed. In this third workshop of the series\, the focus will shift to strategies for the design\, development\, and implementation of curriculum-based learning activities that engage collections of IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework) content. \nIn this workshop\, participants will: \n\nLearn various strategies for learning activity design using curated collections of items\nCreate usable sample learning activities in Bruin Learn\, using IIIF-based collections content and embedded IIIF-compatible tools\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/tJYlceihrTgrHtCAHv_uVCTn87nh9mP379BB \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. If you plan to join us in person\, here are directions to the Portal: https://sandbox.oarc.ucla.edu/the-visualization-portal \nReferences\nLucky\, A.\, Branham\, M. & Atchison\, R.

SUMMARY:Panel discussion on Advanced Research Computing (ARC) applications
DESCRIPTION:Venue: Virtual (via zoom) \nLink to video recording: https://youtu.be/LgLiY00bvHU \nThe Early Career Researchers group at the Institute for Digital Research and Education is pleased to announce a discussion on current applications and requirements for Advanced Research Computing (ARC). The panel will be led by the following IDRE fellows who are also early career researchers from various disciplines across the UCLA campus. \n\n  Nannan Gao – Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\n  Alp Karakoc – Civil and Environmental Engineering\n  Seyoon Ko – Computational Medicine\n  Victoria Rolandi – Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering\n  Olivia Sanderfoot – Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\n  Fangming Xie – Chemistry and Biochemistry\n\nAbout: Not long ago\, it was hard to imagine the scale at which Advanced Research Computing (ARC) at any university would drive innovation and enhance its research capabilities. ARC is increasingly important in research involving data\, computation\, communication\, and information sharing in most disciplines\, and infrastructure planning requires inputs from various segments across the university. However\, due to the fast pace of ever-changing technology\, the requirements of the ARC are constantly changing. It is a daunting exercise to keep track of the latest trends in research computing. This panel discussion on “Advanced Research Computing (ARC) applications” is to get feedback from the diverse community of early career researchers at UCLA\, who are at the forefront of technology in research.

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.

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: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:Unsupervised Discovery of Ancestry Informative Markers and Genetic Admixture Proportions in Biobank-Scale Data Sets
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:Parallel Parallel Computing 4: Solving Partial Differential Equations on Parallel Computers
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– 4. Solving Partial Differential Equations on Parallel Computers: This session will demonstrate solving partial differential equations with MPI. \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/tJAsc-GhqzkpHN2tay6swQmcOMKlUgc1XrAI

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.
