Leeds Institute for Fluid Dynamics (LIFD) has teamed up with the Centre for Environmental Modelling and Computation (CEMAC) team to create Jupyter notebook teaching material for the LIFD CDT.
PLEASE NOTE YOU MUST CLONE RECURSIVELY (SEE BELOW)
These notebooks are design to run alongside a teaching module however each topic and will include links to further reading where necessary. Each notebook will take about two hours to run through and should run out of the box on home installations of Jupyter notebooks although they have been primarily designed to work on Leeds base GPU work stations. These notebooks are designed with automatic checking of Python environment files to remain easy to set up into the future.
As this resource grows, in order to not make the repository unwieldy this repository is made up of submodules that can be cloned individually.
Some tutorials are so lightweight you can run them on binder. The others we recommend running on your local machine. To get started, either clone this repository (LARGE SIZE) or select a tutorial to clone and run each tutorial separately.
bash git clone --recursive [email protected]:cemac/LIFD_CDT_ML_NOTEBOOKS.git
then follow the individual README.md instructions.
These notebooks can run with the resources provided and the Anaconda environment setup. If you are familiar with Anaconda, Jupyter notebooks and GitHub then simply clone this repository and run it within your Jupyter notebook setup. Otherwise, please read the how to run guide. Individual notebooks have bespoke instructions.
git clone --recursive [email protected]:cemac/LIFD_CDT_ML_NOTEBOOKS.git
cd LIFD_ENV_ML_NOTEBOOKS
Python
It is recommended you use Anaconda to manage the Python packages required. Some machine-learning libraries are large and if you only wish to run one notebook consider installing the environment provided for that specific notebook. Otherwise, you can install all required packages running the following commands.
conda env create -f <env-file>.yml
conda activate <env-name>
# save yourself some space with one extra command
conda clean -a
What if I forgot to clone recursively?
Not to worry. In your cloned folder simply run:
git submodule init
git submodule update --init --recursive
Hardware
These notebooks are designed to run on a personal computer. Although please note the techniques demonstrated can be very computationally intensive, so there may be options to skip steps depending on the hardware available, e.g. use pre-trained models.
Knowledge
We have assumed some foundational knowledge but links are provided to in-depth information on the fundamentals of each concept.
We hope that this resource can be built upon to provide a wealth of training material for Earth-science machine-learning topics at Leeds.
