We’ve had a couple of blog articles with mentions of our Deep Learning workshops. One is by Adam Tomkins from the Software Sustainability Institute (link), and the other by Andrei Roibu, one of our masters student in the Aerospace department (link). Thank you for the writeup guys!
We’re hosting another Fundamentals of Deep Learning for Computer Vision workshop on the 18th of December! More details can be found here.

As the Osteolytica project undertaken by RSES comes to an end, it’s a good time to review the project.
We’re hosting another Fundamentals of Deep Learning for Computer Vision workshop on the 23rd of October! More details can be found here.
Both events will be held at COM-G12-Main Lewin, Computer Science Department (ground floor) on the 19th of June, starting from 12:00.

Talk Abstract:
Programming is part of the curriculum of students of computer science, and it will be complemented with other related subjects to make them knowledgeable on the subject. The situation of a science or engineering student is the opposite; typically they have one course to learn one language, and that language is usually not the one they will first face in real-life situations. This situation has occurred for decades, and it is likely not going to change, but there is a real need to better prepare science and engineering students to face the very steep learning curve of having to start programming as part of an ongoing project or their thesis. Universities like ours offer excellent facilities like the HPCs supplied by IT Services, yet the reality is that many students and young researchers may have never used a Unix based system, let alone a parallel system.
The book I wrote, “first steps in scientific programmings” aims at facilitating the passage through the learning curve by providing tips based on years of experience and my interaction with students and brilliant young researchers who did not have the opportunity to learn anywhere else the challenges which programming in a scientific environment involve.
I will briefly describe the points which I think are more important to emphasise, points which I’ve confirmed as important by interacting with other experienced researchers at the U. of Sheffield, who are trying to provide support for the people starting in this field.

The Coffe and Cake event is open to everyone and offers a great opportunity to further discuss the topics raised by our speaker. In addition, if you have any particular research software issues or would like to have a general discussion about research software or software in teaching, please come along for an informal chat with the RSE team.
