Subject: [Flounder] June 1st Flounder meeting - 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://github.com/mitutitu16/Awesome-Mobile-Machine-Learning Links to useful 
resources.
