[RFC] TensorFlow Deep Learning Software Coding

@mrhavens

I use TF at work on a substantially smaller system to solve substantially simpler problems,

If you know anything about non-academic access to TACC I’d be a fan of learning TF and TACC inside and out with you.

Best I can do is let you shoulder surf, sorry. :slight_smile:

No problem. What sort of problem are you solving and is the dataset published somewhere or open-sourced?

I’m using academic, research-only data-sets with permission. None are open that I am aware, although I do have one or two that I found somewhere on github that I use for testing which might be free or open-source.

I work on automated facial expression analysis.

I am at a basic level, what should I read/prepare for the meeting?

True, but all I did was send a request stating that I was conducting personal research and was not associated with an academic institution and they provided the data to me with no additional requests or NDA’s

Yes, it’s completely up to whoever is providing the dataset. I’ll be happy to provide a list if interested.

You should have Tensorflow installed in some form or fashion on your machine. I recommend the Docker “-devel” image (see -devel in the suffix of these Docker image names) rather than the regular image because then it’s easier (at least for me) to access the examples.

It’ll be 2GB in size. I mean, you could choose to download it at DMS, but can’t guarantee you’ll be outta there by morning. :wink:

Does that ‘image’ run in a virtual machine or does it need to be installed instead of an OS?

I’d like to post Tuesday’s event to other Meetup groups but am afraid that constantly getting up to let people in will be distracting while trying to conduct office hours. Is there anyone who might be around Tuesday night that could direct people to where we will be?

can we just see what happenes tomorrow and go from there?

I met the CEO of BrainSpace here in Dallas today, He said he would be willing to give a talk in Sept or Oct, is there any time that is bad for you?

Ran across this general list of datasets:

Nice. However, I’m not too familiar with working with the Jupyter notebooks; I’m more accustomed to downloading the -devel version of TF and calling Python or Bazel directly.

As for the BrainSpace CEO, were you at the Startup Grind event? :wink: The only thing I know of on my calendar that far out is a hard conflict with 10/19-22 and possibly 10/6-8.

@mrhavens There are more datasets at Kaggle https://www.kaggle.com/datasets and in fact Kaggle has recently been bought by Google and will be rolled into the Google Cloud Platform.

Another thing to consider is the vast quantity of government open data at data.gov, https://opendata.cityofnewyork.us/, https://data.cityofchicago.org/, and other data portals.

what days are good for you in OCT, his scheduling lady said OCT is wide open.

AFAIK, any time in October is good for me except the dates I outlined in my previous post. I’m also unaware of conflicts in September.

can we schedule it as a class? Is it eligible for honorarium for Programming?

why aren’t there more tensor flow tuesday on the schedule?
