CSG Data Science and Machine Learning
and RWTH Aachen University
Cross-Sectional Group
The CSG Data Science and Machine Learning team provides training in machine learning and process and data science techniques through resources like videos, tutorials, and code.
Our primary goals are to guide users through machine learning and process mining and to offer the necessary infrastructure to make these activities easily accessible on HPC (High-Performance Computing) systems. For process mining, we assist researchers in analyzing HPC data that includes a case identifier, an activity, and a timestamp.
We also offer tool support to facilitate these analyses. When integrating process mining with HPC, we focus on analyzing large scientific workflows (such as Simulation, ML, AI, PM, etc.) executed on the HPC cluster. Our aim is to analyze performance, identify bottlenecks, and improve scheduling and planning
If you have questions for other groups or general questions like access to the HPC infrastructure, have a look at our support website.
Current research topics:
- AutoML
- Federated Learning
- SLURMminer
- SLURMminer Engine
Support activities:
- Learning material for Process Mining & Machine Learning
- Learning material to provide an understanding of the type of data needed by these techniques
- Support in overcoming data size/quality/privacy issues (in cooperation with CSG Data Management)
- Assistance in specific infrastructural challenges
- Support for scientists with Machine Learning or Process Mining problems applied to their specific research field
Planned teaching activities:
- Videos for specific aspects (data parallelization in process mining, Python libraries for data science such as Tensorflow, Spark, Dask) of data science/machine learning in HPC
- Process Mining Summer School 2022 (Aachen)
- Hands-on workshop on ML@HPC
