NMFS HackHours Resume this Friday June 6th 11am PT/2pm ET -- ML and LLMs

@nmfs-openscapes/2024-science-teams

Every Friday in June/July except July 4th @ 11am PT/2pm ET.

New! Register here for video links. Open to non-NOAA folks too.

The topic for June/July is ML and LLMs. The ML sessions will focus on machine-learning (mainly CNNs) for earth data. Most of these sessions are in Python except the LLM ones, but we will be working through tutorials on our training JupyterHub; you will not need to install anything. See the HackHour website.

June/July Schedule

• June 6 - CNNs for gridded earth data (xarray + tensorflow): Part I
• June 13 - CNNs for gridded earth data (xarray + tensorflow): Part II
• June 20 - UNet CNNs for gap-filling gridded data
• June 27 - Writing R code with the help of LLMs
• July 4 HOLIDAY
• July 11 - TBD
• June 18 - ML cloud-classification using PACE spectral data
• June 25 - Vision CNN models for fisheries applications: a simple workflow process for fine-tuning a foundational model
