Dear Autonians,

GPU8 and GPU9 are production ready with small caveats (no MATLAB yet,
you will have to install TensorFlow and Caffe in your local directory).
This is my way to wish everyone good luck on the incoming NIPS
conference.

Best,
Predrag

Maria De Arteaga and William Herlands have just co-organized an 
immensely successful workshop on ML for Development at NIPS. It did not 
only go very well and was well attended, but it was fun to be a part of 
it. At the end, the audience demanded a continuation at the next NIPS. I 
guess good things happen when you combine ML expertise with the 
awareness of pressing policy/societal issues.

Congrats Maria and William!

Oh, the media have found about it too:

[BTW, I think everyone can agree with the title of this article :P ]

Thanks Nick!

Everyone: Nick has actually proposed to call it a Hackauton.
I liked it :)

Thanks in advance for your involvement and help.
This will be the first of the events to celebrate the 25 years of the Lab.

Nick will follow up shortly with a brief explanation of the proposed format
but we are open to ideas on how to make it better.

The key idea is to expose the Lab more to the local CMU community and
to hopefully stimulate more collaboration across SCS and campus of all
people who are intrigued with applied ML.

Cheers
Artur

Message-ID: <2F189C64-8EE9-4381-8E88-2DF671E743FC@gmail.com>

Dear all,

I am trying to run a code written in python3 on autonlab. However, I just found out python3 seems not installed on autonlab. I was wondering if any of you use python3 on autonlab? Did you install the python3 by yourself or am I missing the python3 package?

Best regards,
Siyu

I?d recommend installing anaconda https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/install/linux.html <https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/install/linux.html>.
You can install the python3 environment that you want using conda, e.g. python 3.6

We removed mini-conda from servers because it was creating us lot of
problems. Python 3 is installed in 

/opt/rh/rh-python35/root/bin

There you will find virtualenv-3.5 and pip3.5 which is all you need to
set your python 3 dev environment in your scratch directory.

Last time I checked Red Hat didn't consider 3.6 branch ready for release
which is ashame.

Predrag

P.S. Note that you can find all sorts of dev tools in /opt/rh which is a
standard place for such things on Red Hat.

Thanks Artur!

Everyone: https://goo.gl/forms/rU7hbWIj2ZEa841y2

Above is a link to a survey where we will collect suggestions for the
hackathon's challenge problems.  Hopefully, most of you can at least submit
one proposal which is related to your past/present/future research
efforts.  Keep in mind that most participants will be undergraduates, so
the challenge problem needs to be something they can make meaningful
contributions toward over the course of a weekend.

As far as details for the event, the schedule boils down to the following:

Friday January 19th: Late afternoon kickoff, introduction to the challenge
problems, and setting teams up with their computational resources.
Saturday January 20th: Hack all day.  Potentially, we will have speakers
during meal times
Sunday January 21st: Hack until late afternoon.  A panel of judges will
listen to presentations and decide on a winning team/individual

Additionally:

We will be providing meals and snacks throughout the event.
Everyone will be strongly encouraged to get full nights of sleep over the
weekend.
The 3rd floor NSH Atrium is booked all weekend as well as NSH 3305, 3001,
and 3002 for breakout spaces.

If you have any suggestions for improvements to this schedule outline,
please contact me.

Please consider submitting a challenge problem proposal at your earliest
convenience so we have time to curate a selection of the best submissions.
You may submit as many proposals as you would like.  Be creative!  Feel
free to pass the link for this form to anyone you believe would be
interested in proposing a challenge problem.

*Lastly, if you are interested in helping with the planning/organization of
the event, please join the #hackauton channel on auton.slack.com
<http://auton.slack.com>. * (You should be able to sign up for the slack
team with an andrew.cmu.edu email address)

Thank you all so much in advance for your thoughtful submissions!

- Nick
