From russell at coker.com.au Mon May 27 00:34:54 2024 From: russell at coker.com.au (Russell Coker) Date: Mon, 27 May 2024 00:34:54 +1000 Subject: [Flounder] June 1st Flounder meeting - ML hack day Message-ID: <2197988.Icojqenx9y@cupcakke> https://flounder.linux.org.au/events/flounder-jun-2024-ml-hack-day/ June ML Hack Day. A day of learning about Machine Learning by trying stuff out. I have a LicheePi4A which has an NPU built in and a server with a NVidia card that I can give access to. But I encourage other people to try to have some hardware suitable for their own use, a minimum would be a 16G of DDR4 RAM (as a rough guide a system with DDR4 has adequate CPU performance) and 16G of free storage space. Hardware for ML is a really good thing, ideally a GPU with 8G of RAM or more but you can do some useful stuff with CPU if you are patient. Meeting will be at http://b.coker.com.au. No need to register just click on the link on the day. Meeting officially opens at 12pm Melbourne time (02:00UTC) on the 1st of June. A little earlier than usual, but if people from Perth miss the first hour they can join us for the later parts of the meeting as it?s not a formal meeting. Here are some links that are worth reviewing before the meeting (not required but recommended): https://www.tensorflow.org/lite ? libraries for doing ML on small devices (Android, iOS, and Raspberry Pi). https://huggingface.co/ ? HuggingFace AI community with models to download. https://github.com/EleutherAI/the-pile ? The Pile of open training data. https://blends.debian.org/science/tasks/machine-learning ? Debian Science machine learning packages. https://wiki.debian.org/MachineLearning/Tensorflow https://github.com/mitutitu16/Awesome-Mobile-Machine-Learning Links to useful resources. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
