AWS Ramp-Up Guide: Academic Research https://dresa.org.au/materials/aws-ramp-up-guide-academic-research AWS Ramp-Up Guides offer a variety of resources to help you build your skills and knowledge of the AWS Cloud. Each guide features carefully selected digital training, classroom courses, videos, whitepapers, certifications, and more. AWS now offers four ramp-up guides that help academic researchers who use AI, ML, Generative AI, and HPC in their research activities, as well as the essential AWS knowledge for Statistician Researchers and Research IT professionals. The guides help learners decide where to start, and how to navigate, their learning journey. Some resources will be more relevant than others based on each learner’s specific research tasks. AI, ML, Generative AI ramp-up guide (page 2) is for academic researchers who are exploring using AWS AI, ML, and Generative AI tools to improve efficiency and productivity in their research tasks. This course introduces seven components on AI and ML and ten components on Generative AI. The course starts with an introduction to AI, and covers AWS AI/ML services, such as Amazon SageMaker. The Generative AI content covers topics such as planning a Generative AI project, responsible AI Practices, security, compliance, and governance for AI solutions. The Generative AI topics also cover how to get started with Amazon Bedrock. Recommended prerequisites: basic understanding of Python. High Performance Computing ramp-up guide (page 3) is designed for academic researchers who seek to use HPC on AWS. In this course, you will be introduced to eleven components that are essential about Higher Performance Computing on AWS. The course starts with an overview of HPC on AWS, followed by topics including AWS ParallelCluster and Research HPC Workloads on AWS Batch. Recommended prerequisites: complete AWS Cloud Essentials. Statistician Researcher ramp-up guide (page 4) is specifically catered for researchers in the fields of statistics and quantum analysis. The course covers topics such as building with Amazon Redshift clusters, getting started with Amazon EMR, Machine Learning for Data Scientists, authoring visual analytics using Amazon QuickSight, Batch analytics on AWS, and Amazon Lightsail for Research. Recommended prerequisites: complete AWS Cloud Essentials. Research IT ramp-up guide (page 5) is an extension of the Foundational Researcher Learning Plan, and enables Research IT leaders and professionals to dive deeper into specific topics. The goal of this extension for Research IT professionals is to dive deeper on fundamentals, understand management capabilities and implementing guardrails, cost optimization for research workloads, become familiar with platforms for research and research partners, and learn more about AWS Landing Zone and AWS Control Tower for Research.

WEBINAR: AlphaFold: what's in it for me? https://dresa.org.au/materials/webinar-alphafold-what-s-in-it-for-me-4d1ea222-4240-4b68-b9ae-7769ac664ee0 This record includes training materials associated with the Australian BioCommons webinar ‘WEBINAR: AlphaFold: what’s in it for me?’. This webinar took place on 18 April 2023. Event description  AlphaFold has taken the scientific world by storm with the ability to accurately predict the structure of any protein in minutes using artificial intelligence (AI). From drug discovery to enzymes that degrade plastics, this promises to speed up and fundamentally change the way that protein structures are used in biological research.  Beyond the hype, what does this mean for structural biology as a field (and as a career)? Dr Craig Morton, Drug Discovery Lead at the CSIRO, is an early adopter of AlphaFold and has decades of expertise in protein structure / function, protein modelling, protein – ligand interactions and computational small molecule drug discovery, with particular interest in anti-infective agents for the treatment of bacterial and viral diseases. Craig joins this webinar to share his perspective on the implications of AlphaFold for science and structural biology. He will give an overview of how AlphaFold works, ways to access AlphaFold, and some examples of how it can be used for protein structure/function analysis.

Accelerating skills development in Data science and AI at scale https://dresa.org.au/materials/accelerating-skills-development-in-data-science-and-ai-at-scale-2d8a65fa-f96e-44ad-a026-cfae3f38d128 At the Monash Data Science and AI  platform, we believe that upskilling our research community and building a workforce with data science skills are key to accelerating the application of data science in research. To achieve this, we create and leverage new and existing training capabilities within and outside Monash University. In this talk, we will discuss the principles and purpose of establishing collaborative models to accelerate skills development at scale. We will talk about our approach to identifying gaps in the existing skills and training available in data science, key areas of interest as identified by the research community and various sources of training available in the marketplace. We will provide insights into the collaborations we currently have and intend to develop in the future within the university and also nationally. The talk will also cover our approach as outlined below •        Combined survey of gaps in skills and trainings for Data science and AI •        Provide seats to partners •        Share associate instructors/helpers/volunteers •        Develop combined training materials •        Publish a repository of open source trainings •        Train the trainer activities •        Establish a network of volunteers to deliver trainings at their local regions Industry plays a significant role in making some invaluable training available to the research community either through self learning platforms like AWS Machine Learning University or Instructor led courses like NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute. We will discuss how we leverage our partnerships with Industry to bring these trainings to our research community. Finally, we will discuss how we map our training to the ARDC skills roadmap and how the ARDC platforms project “Environments to accelerate Machine Learning based Discovery” has enabled collaboration between Monash University and University of Queensland to develop and deliver training together. contact@ardc.edu.au AI, machine learning, eresearch skills, training, train the trainer, volunteer instructors, training partnerships, training material

Monash University - University of Queensland training partnership in Data science and AI https://dresa.org.au/materials/monash-university-university-of-queensland-training-partnership-in-data-science-and-ai-8082bf73-d20f-4214-ad8c-95123e25a36c We describe the peer network exchange for training that has been recently created via an ARDC funded partnership between Monash University and Universities of Queensland under the umbrella of the Queensland Cyber Infrastructure Foundation (QCIF). As part of a training program in machine learning, visualisation, and computing tools, we have established a series of over 20 workshops over the year where either Monash or QCIF hosts the event for some 20-40 of their researchers and students, while some 5 places are offered to participants from the other institution. In the longer term we aim to share material developed at one institution and have trainers present it at the other. In this talk we will describe the many benefits we have found to this approach including access to a wider range of expertise in several rapidly developing fields, upskilling of trainers, faster identification of emerging training needs, and peer learning for trainers. contact@ardc.edu.au data skills, training partnerships, data science, AI, training material
