SIPB Cluedump Series 2021
From SIPB Cluedumps
SIPB Cluedumps are informal technical talks open to the entire MIT community. They cover topics that are of general interest, such as web browsers, and topics specifically for the MIT computing community, such as Zephyr and Scripts. Cluedumps are usually one to two hours long, and we provide snacks.

[edit] Scientific Computing in Python: A NumPy Crash-Course
| Date: January 25, 2022, at 6:00 PM |
| Presenters: Mark Chilenski |
| Location: 1-190 |
| Abstract: NumPy is the standard tool for manipulating arrays of numeric data in Python, and has heavily influenced the design and implementation of many other libraries for scientific computing and machine learning. This talk will be a self-contained "crash course," intended to get someone with little or no NumPy experience to the point that they can confidently start manipulating arrays. The talk will emphasize principles such as broadcasting and vectorization which will also help intermediate NumPy users to write cleaner, more efficient code. |
[edit] PyTorch Crash Course: 0 to MNIST in 1 Hour
| Date: November 16, 2021, at 6:00 PM |
| Presenters: Mark Chilenski |
| Location: 4-237 |
| Abstract: PyTorch is one of the leading libraries for building deep neural networks. This talk will be a self-contained “crash course,” intended to get someone with no PyTorch experience to the point that they understand the core classes and have enough vocab to Google stuff/efficiently browse the documentation in approximately one hour. Some experience with Python is assumed, but otherwise this talk has no prerequisites. |
