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. Recommended prerequisites: Foundational Researcher Learning Plan. emmarrig@amazon.com Machine learning, machine learning, aws, AWS, cloud, Cloud computing, cloud computing, training material, HPC training, HPC, training registry, training partnerships

This webinar took place on 19 August 2021. Bioinformatics analyses are often complex, requiring multiple software tools and specialised compute resources. “I don’t know what compute resources I will need”, “My analysis won’t run and I don’t know why” and "Just getting it to work" are common pain points for researchers. In this webinar, you will learn how to understand the compute requirements for your bioinformatics workflows. You will also hear about ways of accessing compute that suits your needs as an Australian researcher, including Galaxy Australia, cloud and high-performance computing services offered by the Australian Research Data Commons, the National Compute Infrastructure (NCI) and Pawsey.  We also describe bioinformatics and computing support services available to Australian researchers.  This webinar was jointly organised with the Sydney Informatics Hub at the University of Sydney.

Stereo-video workflows for fish and benthic ecologists https://dresa.org.au/materials/stereo-video-workflows-for-fish-and-benthic-ecologists Stereo imagery is widely used by research institutions and management bodies around the world as a cost-effective and non-destructive method to research and monitor fish and habitats (Whitmarsh, Fairweather and Huveneers, 2017). Stereo-video can provide accurate and precise size and range measurements and can be used to study spatial and temporal patterns in fish assemblages (McLean et al., 2016), habitat composition and complexity (Collins et al., 2017), behaviour (Goetze et al., 2017), responses to anthropogenic pressures (Bosch et al., 2022) and the recovery and growth of benthic fauna (Langlois et al. 2020). It is important that users of stereo-video collect, annotate, quality control and store their data in a consistent manner, to ensure data produced is of the highest quality possible and to enable large scale collaborations. Here we collate existing best practices and propose new tools to equip ecologists to ensure that all aspects of the stereo-video workflow are performed in a consistent way. tim.langlois@uwa.edu.au stereo-video, fish, sharks, habitats

10 Reproducible Research things - Building Business Continuity https://dresa.org.au/materials/9-reproducible-research-things-building-business-continuity The idea that you can duplicate an experiment and get the same conclusion is the basis for all scientific discoveries. Reproducible research is data analysis that starts with the raw data and offers a transparent workflow to arrive at the same results and conclusions. However not all studies are replicable due to lack of information on the process. Therefore, reproducibility in research is extremely important. Researchers genuinely want to make their research more reproducible, but sometimes don’t know where to start and often don’t have the available time to investigate or establish methods on how reproducible research can speed up every day work. We aim for the philosophy “Be better than you were yesterday”. Reproducibility is a process, and we highlight there is no expectation to go from beginner to expert in a single workshop. Instead, we offer some steps you can take towards the reproducibility path following our Steps to Reproducible Research self paced program.
