From Coffee Cart to Educational Computing Platform – UC San Diego Health

Posted: January 24, 2022 at 10:46 am

In classic UC San Diego fashion, an overheard conversation at a campus coffee cart has turned into an interdisciplinary project that's making computing-intensive coursework more exciting while saving well over $1 million dollars so far. The effort gives UC San Diego graduate and undergraduate studentsand their professorsbetter hardware and software ecosystems for exploring real-world, data-intensive and computing-intensive projects and problems in their courses.

Larry Smarr, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering.

It all started while UC San Diego computer science and engineering professor Larry Smarr was waiting for coffee in the "Bear" courtyard at the Jacobs School of Engineering a little more than three years ago. While standing in line, Smarr overheard a student say, "I can't get a job interview if I haven't run TensorFlow on a GPU on a real problem."

While this one student's conundrum may sound extremely technical and highly specific, Smarr heard a general need; and he saw an opportunity. In particular, Smarr realized that innovations coming out of a U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) funded research project he leadsthe Pacific Research Platform (PRP)could be leveraged to create better computing infrastructure for university courses that rely heavily on machine learning, data visualizations, and other topics that require significant computer resources. This infrastructure would make it easier for professors to offer courses that challenge students to solve real-world data- and computation-intensive problems, including things like what he heard at the coffee cart: running TensorFlow on a GPU on a real problem.

Fast forward to 2022, and Smarr's spark of an idea has grown into a cross-campus collaboration called the UC San Diego Data Science/Machine Learning Platform or the UC San Diego JupyterHub. Through this platform, the inexpensive, high-performance computational building blocks combining hardware and software that Smarr and his PRP collaborators designed for use in computation-intensive research across the country are now also the backbone of dynamic computing ecosystems for UC San Diego students and professors who use machine learning, data visualization, and other computing- and data-intensive tools in their courses. The platform has been widely used in every division on campus, including with courses taught in biological sciences, cognitive science, computer science, data science, engineering, health sciences, marine sciences, medicine, music, physical sciences, public health and more.

Xuan Zhang (UC San Diego Chemistry PhD, '21) is one of the tens of thousands of UC San Diego students and young researchers who has used the UC San Diego Data Science/Machine Learning Platform extensively in courses.

It's a unique, collaborative project that leverages federally funded computing research innovations for classroom use. To make the jump from research to classroom applications, a creative and hardworking interdisciplinary team at UC San Diego came together. UC San Diego's IT Services / Academic Technology Services stepped up in a big way. Senior architect Adam Tilghman and chief programmer David Andersen led the implementation effort, with leadership and funding support from UC San Diego CIO Vince Kellen and Academic Technology Senior Director Valerie Polichar. The project has already helped the campus avoid well over $1 million dollars in cloud-computing spend, according to Kellen.

At the same time, the project gives the UC San Diego community tools to encourage the back-and-forth flow of students and ideas between classroom projects and follow-on research projects.

"Our students are getting access to the same level of computing capacity that normally only a researcher using an advanced system like a supercomputer would get. The students are exploring much more complex data problems because they can," said Smarr, who was also the founding director of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2), a UC San Diego / UC Irvine partnership. Calit2 is now expanding to also include UC Riverside.

One of the many professors from all across campus using the UC San Diego Data Science / Machine Learning Platform for courses is Melissa Gymrek, who is a professor in both the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the Department of Medicine's Division of Genetics.

Her students write and run code in a software environment called Jupyter Notebooks that runs on the UC San Diego platform. "They can write code in the notebook and press execute and see the results. They can build figures to visualize data. We focus a lot more now on data visualizations," said Gymrek.

UC San Diego ITS senior architect Adam Tilghman poses with some of the innovative computing hardware that has opened the door to more data-intensive and computing-intensive coursework for UC San Diego students. These PCs run a wide range of leading-edge software to help students program the system, record their results in Jupyter notebooks, and execute a variety of data analytic and machine learning algorithms on their problems.

One of the thousands of UC San Diego students who has used the platform extensively is Xuan Zhang. Through the data- and visualization-intensive coursework in CSE 284, Zhang realized that the higher order genetic structures at the center of her chemistry Ph.D. dissertationR-Loopscould be regulated by the short tandem repeats (STRs) that are at the center of much of the research in Gymrek's lab. Without the computing-infrastructure for real-world coursework problems, Zhang believes she would not have made the research connection.

After taking Gymrek's course, Zhang also realized that she could apply to obtain her own independent research profile on the UC San Diego Data Science / Machine Learning Platform in order to retain access to all her coursework and to keep building on it. (When Jupyter Notebooks are hosted on the commercial cloud, students generally lose access to their data-intensieve coursework when the class ends, unless they download the data themselves.)

"I thought it was just for the course, but then I realized that Jupyter Notebooks are available for research, without losing access through the UC San Diego Jupyterhub," said Zhang.

This educational infrastructure has added benefits for professors as well.

"With these Jupyter Notebooks, you can automatically embed the grading system. It saves a lot of work," said Gymrek. You can designate how many points a student gets if they get the code right, she explained. Before using this system, students sent PDFs of their problem sets which made grading more time intensive. "It was hard to go past a dozen students. Now, you can scale," said Gymrek. In fact, she has been able to expand access to her personal genomics graduate class to more than 50 students, up from a dozen before she had access to these new tools.

Direct uploading of assignments and grades to the campus learning management system, Canvas, is also now available.

The platform is truly transforming education. Unlike many learning technology innovations, classes in every division at UC San Diego have used the Data Science/Machine Learning Platform. Many thousands of students use it every year. Its innovation with real impact, preparing our students in manysometimes unexpectedfields to be leaders and innovators when they graduate, said Polichar.

"If you build your distributed supercomputer, like the PRP, on commodity hardware then you can ride Moore's Law," explained Smarr.

Following this commodity hardware strategy, Smarr and his PRP collaborators developed hardware designs where performance goes up while prices go down over time. The computational building blocks developed by the PRP, that were repurposed by UC San Diegos ITS, are rack-mounted PCs, containing multi-core CPUs, eight Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), and optimized for data-intensive projects, including accelerating machine learning on the GPUs. These PCs run a wide range of leading-edge software to help students program the system, record their results in Jupyter Notebooks, and to execute a variety of data analytic and machine learning algorithms on their problems.

Building on this commodity hardware approach to high performance computing has allowed UC San Diego to build a dynamic and innovative "on premises" ecosystem for data- and computing- intensive coursework, rather than relying solely on commercial cloud computing services.

The computing platform is made of rack-mounted PCs optimized for data-intensive projects, including accelerating machine learning on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). The system now contains 126 GPUs, whose usage by students typically ramps up to 100% as each academic quarter progresses.

"The commercial cloud doesn't provide an ecosystem that gives students the same platform from course to course, or the same platform they have in their courses as they have in their research," said Tilghman. "This is especially true in the graduate area where students are starting work in a course context and then they continue that work in their research. It's that continuity, even starting as a lower division undergraduate, all the way up. I think that's one of the innovative advantages that we give at UC San Diego."

UC San Diego professors and students interested in learning more about the Data Science / Machine Learning Platformcan find additional details and contact information on their website.

"I've been at this for 50 years," said Smarr. "I don't know of many examples where I've seen such a close linking of research and education all the way around, in a circle."

This alignment of research and education feeds into UC San Diego's culture of innovation and relevance.

"It's essential for the nation that students all across campus learn and work on computing infrastructure that is relevant for their future, whether it's in industry, academia or the public sector," said Albert P. Pisano, dean of the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering. "These information technology ecosystems being created and deployed on campus are critical for empowering our students to leverage innovations to serve society."

We are India’s 1st telco to build Big Data AI/ML Cloud Advanced Analytics Platform on AWS: Vodafone Idea – ETTelecom.com

Posted: at 10:46 am

New Delhi: The Indian telecom industry has been at the heart of the technology driven disruption over the last decade. With over 986 million active wireless subscribers, the industry has an opportunity to also drive transformation for businesses across industries.

IANS spoke to Dr Sanjeev Chaube, EVP and Head, Big Data & Advanced Analytics at Vodafone Idea to get his insights on how Cloud has been at the core of their digital transformation and how they are leveraging intelligent technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), Internet of Things (IoT) and analytics.

Dr Chaube believes that there is a critical need for telecom service providers to transform from 'Telco to Techno' and technologies such as 5G, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Analytics, Cloud Computing, IoT / IIoT / AIoT, and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) will enable this digital transformation.

Q: What are the key strategic pillars of digital transformation at Indian Telcos as you look to transform from a connectivity provider to an orchestrator of value-added solutions that meet the needs of digitally-savvy, connected customers?

A: I believe businesses are fast turning to digital solutions to empower remote workforces, provide customers with better services, and create an immersive experience with increased visibility, resilience & agility. Moreover the need for eliminating traditional, hardware driven, and large expensive physical operations has been at the core of Digital Transformation worldwide across industries.

We need to understand that any transformation starts with data. Hence, a company captures customer data efficiently and leverages it to make smarter decisions. Goal should be to streamline key customer touchpoints to increase spends & reduce efforts.

The employees need to be well informed with relevant data, data driven decisioning culture, access to learning & development platforms empowering better organisational transformation.

Businesses need to shift from IT departments to consolidated enterprise platforms that can absorb & integrate latest technologies instantly. Datasets, processes, web and apps should be shared across the company and the data needs to be integrated to provide a single source of truth by building appropriate Data Lake, Data Warehouses/Marts over Cloud for massive storage & processing capacities.

However, the choice of technology stack whether Open-Source or Proprietary depends primarily on the Value vs Cost proposition. Also, the need for scope, scale, speed, quality & ease form the basis for finalising the tech stack.

Ensuring near Real-time Customer 360 view in form of Business Intelligence Reports and Dashboard for leadership and at different levels of management ensure better & contextual decision making.

Therefore, in my opinion, the key pillars and ingredients for effective Intelligent Digital Transformation Program are a) Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning & Data Science for Data Driven Decision Making, b) Customer Relevance & Centricity Business Processes, c) Engage & Empower Employees aligned around customer, d) Digital First Strategy with leanest possible technology stack, e) Bring Speed, Scale, Simplicity & Values with Platform, f) Enhance Personalization and g) Single Source of Truth & Data Engineering

Q: How are you using Big Data, Advanced Analytics, Artificial Intelligence/Machine learning & Data Science to understand and cater to the needs of your customers better?

A: Big Data and Advanced Analytics is extensively adopted to improve customers experiences and business performance. Artificial Intelligence & Data Science techniques especially Machine/Deep Learning algorithms are significantly improving some of the crucial areas/services including Customer Segmentation, Targeted marketing, Personalised offerings & recommendations, Churn Prediction, Product development, Predictive Analytics, Call Drop Analysis, reducing fraud, Price optimization, Network experience optimization, Location based services etc.

Over the next five years, rise in mobile-phone penetration and decline in data costs will add 500 million new Internet users in India, creating opportunities for new businesses. Legacy data sets were all structured in nature, however over the last few years, with the explosion of data, unstructured data is gaining equal or more importance in the market. With the advent of 5G technology, the available data from voice, video, social media, messaging, IOT and all new 5G use case deployments are going to increase multifold from hereon.

This Big Data generated by telco's has all the features like massive volume, variety, velocity & veracity. It therefore becomes very critical for us to first organise and systematically store the data emerging from multiple applications within Data Ocean, Datalake, Data Warehouse /Data Marts be it using Cloudera Hadoop Ecosystem or Cloud infrastructure.

Secondly, this Big Data is then used to perform Data Analytics for decision making at different organisational levels from operations and strategy making perspective. All 5 stages of Data Science and Advanced Analytics lifecycle namely Descriptive, Diagnostic, Predictive, Prescriptive and Pre-Emptive Analytics are performed to extract information and patterns.

Machine learning use cases have great potential & value such as assisting with Customer Acquisition, Retention, Digital Engagement, Anomaly Detection, Root Cause Analysis, Predictive Maintenance, Ticket Classification, SLA Assurance and building intelligent networks with features like Self-Healing, Dynamic Optimization & Automated Network Designs. However, in order to work effectively, they require specific computational, pipeline and support infrastructure as well to support massive data & their parallel processing.

Predictive models whether Real-time or Batch processing basis business requirements leveraging structured data feeds such as demographic, usage, billing etc. or Unstructured data feeds like Chat, Text, Images, Video feeds are built to support business with insights beforehand.

Social media analytics is performed using Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing (NLP) & Text parsing techniques etc. to extract sentiments of customers across the country for decision making. Different Deep Learning Architectures of Neural networks ranging from Convolutional Neural Network, Recurrent Neural Networks, Self-Organizing Maps, Auto encoders, etc. are used appropriately as per desired intent.

Q: What did cloud technology allow you to do that you couldn't do before?

A: Cloud is a key enabler of Large-Scale Transformation: be it benefitting Consumer Analytics, Digital Adoption, and Network Monitoring & Management and bringing efficiency in Operations by facilitating faster decisions at scale and speed.

As on date, we are India's first Telco to build a full-fledged Big Data AI/ML Cloud Advanced Analytics Platform on AWS Cloud.

Before embarking on our cloud journey, our data sets were collected in silos across the country. Then, they were aggregated to run the various machine learning & deep learning algorithms.

Also, as the data sets were huge in volume, the available compute & GPU support for data consolidation in the legacy infrastructure was a challenge. All of these complexities added delays to our operations & hampered the productivity of the teams. With the new data science platform deployed over AWS, we are able to address all of these challenges & achieve much more.

Using the compute & memory power available on cloud, we can consolidate data & effectively run our machine / deep learning algorithms & also do parallel data processing with ease. The time to run these algorithms have already reduced by over 60 per cent, and with further optimization, we expect our data science platform to deliver more in the near future.

Additionally, availability of deep learning frameworks like Tensor flow, MXNet, Keras, Pytorch, Gluon, etc. along with pre-trained ML models as APIs help us experiment more with data sets, at scale & speed & eventually in turn improve our customer experience. This feature rich data science platform with its scalability, elasticity & pay-as-you-go commercial model helps consolidate operations & effectively manage costs.

In the future, we'll be able to integrate & effectively use this platform to address our challenges across new technology initiatives including 5G, Edge, IoT monetization, customer 360, Network Function Virtualization transition & so on.

Q: What are your views on the rapid worldwide progress in AIoT & IIoT Analytics for Connected Intelligence with Cloud Technologies?A: As per Fortune Business Insights, global IoT market size is projected to grow from USD 381.30 billion in 2021 to USD 1854.76 billion in 2028. While if we follow Researchandmarkets report, globally the AIoT market itself will reach $78.3 Billion by 2026. Also, the Global IIoT market which was valued at about $216.13 in 2020 and is expected to grow to about $1.1 trillion by 2028.

The above data clearly sets the roadmap and vision for telecom as a connectivity service provider not only for India but telco's globally.

The use of AI for decision making in IoT and data analytics will be crucial for efficient and effective smart city solutions in terms of decision making. This is in line with the Indian government's plan to develop 100 smart city projects including smart airports, smart railway stations, smart public healthcare services etc., where the 5G, AI, IoT & Cloud technologies will play a vital role in developing these cities & services.

The convergence of AI and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and solutions (AIoT) is leading to "thinking" networks and systems. The AI-enabled edge device market will be the fastest-growing segment within the AIoT. AIoT automates data processing systems, converting raw IoT data into useful information.

AIoT solutions are the precursor to next-generation AI Decision as a Service (AIDaaS). With AIoT, AI is embedded into infrastructure components, such as programs, chipsets and edge computing, all interconnected with IoT networks. APIs are then used to extend interoperability between components at the device level, software level and platform level. These units will focus primarily on optimising system and network operations as well as extracting value from data.

These solutions will provide customer's ability to acquire leading wireless enabled AIoT products and reduce their time to market.

The key areas of AIoT solutions include Data Services, Predictive Asset Management, Intelligent Immersive Experience, Process Improvement, Next-Gen UI & UX and Intelligent Industrial Automation.

Eczema treatment subsidy to help thousands – 7NEWS

Posted: at 10:45 am

Relief is in sight for Australians faced with bills of almost $30,000 a year as a treatment for a severe type of eczema is listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition that can have a significant impact on day to day life, including problems sleeping, increased risk of infection, depression and anxiety.

Unlike other types of eczema, it typically does not go away in a few days or weeks and often returns or flares up after periods of getting better.

"The condition may cause physical discomfort, which in turn can cause insomnia, emotional distress, depression, embarrassment, and social stigma," Melanie Funk from Eczema Support Australia says.

"As a result, people may avoid work, social situations, and relationships."

Rinvoq reduces itching and flare-ups by blocking enzymes that create signals in the body's immune system, resulting in inflammation.

More than 3500 people are expected to benefit from the new listing, Health Minister Greg Hunt said.

"Without this subsidy, patients might pay more than $27,000 per year treatment, instead they'll pay $42.50 or as little as $6.80 per script," Mr Hunt said.

The drug was developed by pharmaceutical company AbbVie, and Australia and New Zealand General Manager Chris Stemple welcomed the move.

"We remain committed to innovation and developing a deeper understanding of the disease with the hope of making a difference to the lives of Australians living with this debilitating condition," he said.

The listing of Rinvoq on the PBS has been recommended by the independent Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee.

It will be available from February 1.

What It Feels Like… to live with debilitating eczema – Metro.co.uk

Posted: at 10:45 am

My whole body felt like it was on fire as I sat for eight hours in the same chair, refraining from scratching.

I was in the process of adjusting to my new 9-5 job in an office, which started in August 2021. The new role was good, but working in an agency is, by definition, stressful.

This stress, change of environment and having to adapt to a new lifestyle caused my skin to respond with an eczema flare-up something Ive dealt with for over 10 years now.

I was doing everything I could to avoid irritating my skin at the time. I was wearing cotton, trying not to sweat.

I was often cycling to work, so I had to be very careful to not be wearing extra layers that didnt allow my skin to breathe; a knitted cardigan on top of my cotton long-sleeves, for example. I was also drinking a lot of water to keep me and my skin hydrated.

I felt self-conscious, especially because I scratch without even noticing, and I tend to be irritable and on edge when Im in the middle of a flare-up.

But I couldnt apply the steroid cream my GP had prescribed as my shoulders were bleeding, and you cant apply steroid cream to open wounds. The back of my knees had become a permanent war trench, and my lower backwas covered in patches of dry skin, increasingly becoming so dry my skin ended up breaking and causing bleeding and wounds.

I just had to power through and keep thinking that eventually, this feeling would pass.This is a battle with eczema I have been fighting since I was 12 years old, which often fluctuates in gravity.

In 2012, I was first diagnosed with asthma attacks, which were connected to a dust allergy, and a couple of years later, flare-ups in my skin confirmed the inevitable: atopic dermatitis the clinical name for eczema.

My first memory of eczema is not of the condition itself but rather the multiple visits to the dermatologist in my childhood.

An eczema flare is a constant feeling of being uncomfortable that just doesnt go away. The skin systematically dries out, and it turns scratching into an almost reflex action. Scratching only makes it worse, it makes dry skin turn into wounds.

One of the hardest parts about the condition is acknowledging that it will never go away

Incidents dont happen regularly or consistently. They can appear when I experience a change of circumstances, when Im under a lot of pressure, when I wear something that upsets my skin (wool for example) or they can just happen to appear.

If treated with prescription steroid or corticoid creams, the worst part can go away in a week or two, but sometimes they take up to a month to calm down, as you can only use steroids/corticoids for one week at a time.

They stayed very mild and very controllable for quite a long period of time and I was eczema-flare-free for about two to three years.It wasin2017 when the itchy skin and the dry patches came back,accompanied bythe wounds, the lack of sleep, the anxiety, and the constant stress.

I had moved away from my hometown in Spain to study at university in Scotland. I was slightly scared of the change, which tends to be one of the key ingredients in the flare-up recipe.

I did my best to feel at home in my new environment, and I kept looking for tips that delayed or avoided the flare-ups.

One of the hardest parts of the condition is acknowledging that it willnever go away. I realised this very recently.

In the past year, Ive had the worst flare-ups I have ever experienced, and all of them very close together in time. This is when I realised there was nothing I could do about it, I just needed to learn tricks to help me live with it.

It was at the very start of the first lockdown that the first very bad flare-up knocked at my door,and it is still affecting metoday. This was way worse than any I had had before.

What I struggle with the most is the lack of sleep. Some days the itchinessbecomesso unbearable that Im unable to fall asleep. When I do manage, Im awake again within a couple of hours.

Theexhaustiontriggers a lot of other emotions, such as anxiety and nervousness.

And thenthe eczemastarts spreading. For me, it always starts on my shoulders and thenmoves acrossmy lower back, the back of my knees, my legs, my hips. Imagine having one of those sudden itches that you just need to scratch, but everywhere, constantly.

Ive tried all sorts of creams on the market, been prescribed corticoids, steroid creams, and emollients moisturising treatments to help control the condition.

Oat-based lotions have been among my best friends for almost a decade now

Changing treatment when one doesnt work and listening to your body, to me, is the most important thing. One of my best allies has been nettle soap. It creates a barrier for the skin, in a similar way to emollients, but more naturally.

Oat-based lotions have been among my best friends for almost a decade now. But sometimes each lotion only works for a certain period of time.

When they stop working, I listen tomy body because it knows best. When I notice my skin starts being dry very shortly after applying, thats when I know its time for a change.

Wearing cotton-based fabrics also helps, butit doesnt completely ease the discomfort.Nothing does. And painkillers are not a solution. Its not a headache you can tackle with an ibuprofen or a paracetamol, painkillers are totally useless against itchiness.

Throughout my journey in the world of atopic skin, I have learned that taking care of yourself can be a lot more important than taking care of your skin. I cant speak for anyone elses journey, and everyones experience is different.

I have learnt to breathe slowly and count to 10 when I cant fall asleep instead of crying in despair, when flare-ups get ugly, they affect everything in your life: your self-esteem, the way you look, your sleep, your mood, your social interactions so sometimes I just needed to cry it out.

Keeping calm, drinking a lot of water, and learning how to prevent a bad flare-up is what gets me through them.

I do complain, especially to my partner, who suffers it with me almost every flare-up she has taught me I have a right to. But it has also become important to me to acknowledge that there is nothing to do about it, and I just need to do my best.

My eczema journey has been challenging to say the least because its not easy to live a normal life when you cant even sit down in your couch without being uncomfortable.

But relentless complaining doesnt make it better.

Prevention means the world to me. It has been a challenging journey, but I am undeniably and relentlessly learning how to cope with it the best I can.

Images of the Week: The Fashion World Mourns Andr Leon Talley – newsconcerns

Posted: at 10:45 am

This week, the legendary Vogue fashion editor Andr Leon Talley died at the age of 73. A true trailblazer, Talley was the first Black creative director at Vogue, and previously worked with Diana Vreeland and Andy Warhol. The loss of Andr is felt by so many of us today: the designers he enthusiastically cheered on every season, and who loved him for it; the generations he inspired to work in the industry, seeing a figure who broke boundaries while never forgetting where he started from; those who knew fashion, and Vogue, simply because of him; and, not forgetting, the multitude of colleagues over the years who were consistently buoyed by every new discovery of Andrs, which he would discuss loudly, and volublyno one could make people more excited about the most seemingly insignificant fashion details than him, said Anna Wintour on Wednesday.

The fashion world also remembered the legacy of Virgil Abloh, the designer who died in November after a private battle with cancer, as his last show for Louis Vuitton that he touched was staged in Paris. Though it was a menswear collection, Naomi Campbell walked the runway in a white overcoat and trucker hata welcome surprise, as she had arrived and been photographed as a guest before the show.

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra are now parents! The couple, who married three years ago, announced on Instagram that they had welcomed a baby via surrogate. Congratulations to the whole family.

Finally, Carrie Bradshaw revived one of her most iconic dresses in the latest episode of And Just Like That. The Atelier Versace gown that she wore in season six still fits like a glove. Below, see the images of the week.
