This document discusses using R analytics in the cloud. It provides an introduction to bioinformatics and analyzing gene expression data from C. elegans to study aging. It explains that R is popular for bioinformatics but limited to single machines. Hadoop and tools like Segue allow scaling R to the cloud. Segue creates AWS clusters and implements lapply for distributed computing. An example analyzes gene correlation at scale using Segue on AWS. The goal is to discover genes responsible for aging through clustered gene expression maps.

Unafraid of Change: Optimizing ETL, ML, and AI in Fast-Paced Environments wit...Databricks
While processing more data through an existing set of ETL or ML/AI pipelines is easy with Spark, dealing with an ever expanding and/or changing set of pipelines can be quite challenging, all the more so when there are complex inter-dependencies. Workflow-based job orchestration offers some help in the case of relatively static flows but fails miserably when it comes to supporting fast-paced data production such as data science experimentation (feature exploration, model tuning, …), ad hoc analytics and root cause analysis.
This talk will introduce three patterns for large-scale data production in fast-paced environments–just-in-time dependency resolution (JDR), configuration-addressed production (CAP) and automated lifecycle management (ALM)–with ETL & ML/AI demos as well as open-source code you can use in your projects. These patterns have been production-tested in Swoop’s petabyte-scale environment where they have significantly increased human productivity and processing flexibility while reducing costs by more than 10x.
By adopting these patterns you’ll get the benefits typically associated with rigidly-planned and highly-coordinated data production quickly & efficiently, without endless meetings or even a workflow server. You will be able to transparently ensure result accuracy even in the face of hundreds of constantly-changing inputs, eliminate duplicate computation within and across clusters and automate lifecycle management.

This is a talk I gave at the Institute for Genomics & System Biology (IGSB) on December 7, 2009. The talk looks at the role of cloud computing platforms, including private clouds, for managing the large data produced by next generation sequencing platforms.

Many experts believe that ageing can be delayed, this is one of the main goals of the the Institute of Healthy Ageing at University College London. I will present the results of my lifespan-extension research where we integrated publicly available genes databases in order to identify ageing related genes. I will show what challenges we met and what we have learned about the process of ageing.
Ageing is one of the fundamental mysteries in biology and many scientists are starting to study this fascinating process. I am part of the research group led by Dr Eugene Schuster at UCL Institute of Healthy Ageing. We experiment with Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans by modifying their genes in order to create long-lived mutants. The results of our experiments are quantified using high-throughput microarray analysis. Finally we apply information technology in order to understand how the ageing process works. I will show how we mine microarrays data in order to find the connections between thousands of genes and how we identify candidates for ageing genes.
We are interested in building a better understanding of genes functions by harnessing the large quantity of experimental microarray data in the public databases. Our hope is that after understanding the ageing process in simpler organisms we will be able to apply this knowledge in humans.
Cross-referencing expressions levels in thousands of genes and hundreds of experiments turned out to be a computationally challenging problem but Hadoop and Amazon cloud came to our rescue. In this talk I will present a case study based on our use of R with Amazon Elastic MapReduce and will give background on our bioinformatics challenges.

Streaming data presents new challenges for statistics and machine learning on extremely large data sets. Tools such as Apache Storm, a stream processing framework, can power range of data analytics but lack advanced statistical capabilities. These slides are from the Apache.con talk, which discussed developing streaming algorithms with the flexibility of both Storm and R, a statistical programming language.
At the talk I dicsussed issues of why and how to use Storm and R to develop streaming algorithms; in particular I focused on:
• Streaming algorithms
• Online machine learning algorithms
• Use cases showing how to process hundreds of millions of events a day in (near) real time

A talk presented at an NSF Workshop on Data-Intensive Computing, July 30, 2009.
Extreme scripting and other adventures in data-intensive computing
Data analysis in many scientific laboratories is performed via a mix of standalone analysis programs, often written in languages such as Matlab or R, and shell scripts, used to coordinate multiple invocations of these programs. These programs and scripts all run against a shared file system that is used to store both experimental data and computational results.
While superficially messy, the flexibility and simplicity of this approach makes it highly popular and surprisingly effective. However, continued exponential growth in data volumes is leading to a crisis of sorts in many laboratories. Workstations and file servers, even local clusters and storage arrays, are no longer adequate. Users also struggle with the logistical challenges of managing growing numbers of files and computational tasks. In other words, they face the need to engage in data-intensive computing.
We describe the Swift project, an approach to this problem that seeks not to replace the scripting approach but to scale it, from the desktop to larger clusters and ultimately to supercomputers. Motivated by applications in the physical, biological, and social sciences, we have developed methods that allow for the specification of parallel scripts that operate on large amounts of data, and the efficient and reliable execution of those scripts on different computing systems. A particular focus of this work is on methods for implementing, in an efficient and scalable manner, the Posix file system semantics that underpin scripting applications. These methods have allowed us to run applications unchanged on workstations, clusters, infrastructure as a service ("cloud") systems, and supercomputers, and to scale applications from a single workstation to a 160,000-core supercomputer.
Swift is one of a variety of projects in the Computation Institute that seek individually and collectively to develop and apply software architectures and methods for data-intensive computing. Our investigations seek to treat data management and analysis as an end-to-end problem. Because interesting data often has its origins in multiple organizations, a full treatment must encompass not only data analysis but also issues of data discovery, access, and integration. Depending on context, data-intensive applications may have to compute on data at its source, move data to computing, operate on streaming data, or adopt some hybrid of these and other approaches.
Thus, our projects span a wide range, from software technologies (e.g., Swift, the Nimbus infrastructure as a service system, the GridFTP and DataKoa data movement and management systems, the Globus tools for service oriented science, the PVFS parallel file system) to application-oriented projects (e.g., text analysis in the biological sciences, metagenomic analysis, image analysis in neuroscience, information integration for health care applications, management of experimental data from X-ray sources, diffusion tensor imaging for computer aided diagnosis), and the creation and operation of national-scale infrastructures, including the Earth System Grid (ESG), cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG), Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN), TeraGrid, and Open Science Grid (OSG).

Lightning fast genomics with Spark, Adam and ScalaAndy Petrella
We are at a time where biotech allow us to get personal genomes for $1000. Tremendous progress since the 70s in DNA sequencing have been done, e.g. more samples in an experiment, more genomic coverages at higher speeds. Genomic analysis standards that have been developed over the years weren't designed with scalability and adaptability in mind. In this talk, we’ll present a game changing technology in this area, ADAM, initiated by the AMPLab at Berkeley. ADAM is framework based on Apache Spark and the Parquet storage. We’ll see how it can speed up a sequence reconstruction to a factor 150.

Opportunities for X-Ray science in future computing architecturesIan Foster
The world of computing continues to evolve rapidly. In just the past 10 years, we have seen the emergence of petascale supercomputing, cloud computing that provides on-demand computing and storage with considerable economies of scale, software-as-a-service methods that permit outsourcing of complex processes, and grid computing that enables federation of resources across institutional boundaries. These trends shown no signs of slowing down: the next 10 years will surely see exascale, new cloud offerings, and terabit networks. In this talk I review various of these developments and discuss their potential implications for a X-ray science and X-ray facilities.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

3. Primer in Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics - applying computer
science to biology (DNA, Proteins,
Drug discovery, etc)
Ageing strategy – solve it in simple
organism and apply findings to more
complex organisms (i.e. humans).
Goal: find genes responsible for ageing
Caenorhabditis Elegans

4. Central dogma of molecular biology
Genes are encoded
by the DNA. Microarray
(100 x 100)
• Database of 50 curated experiments.
• 10k genes compare to each other
4
5. Why R?
Very popular in bioinformatics
Functional, scripting programming
language
Swiss-army knife for statistician
Designed by statisticians for
statisticians
Lots of ready to use packages (CRAN)

6. R limitations & Hadoop
Data needs to fit in the memory
Single-threaded
Hadoop integration:
Hadoop Streaming
Rhipe: http://ml.stat.purdue.edu/rhipe/
Segue: http://code.google.com/p/segue/

7. Segue
Works with Amazon Elastic MapReduce.
Creates a cluster for you.
Designed for Big Computations (rather than
Big Data)
Implements a cloud version of lapply()
function.
7
9. R very quick example
m <- list(a = 1:10, b = exp(-3:3))
lapply(m, mean)
$a
[1] 5.5
$b
[1] 4.535125
lapply(X, FUN) returns a list of the same length as X,
each element of which is the result of applying FUN to
the corresponding element of X.

10. Segue – large scale example
> AnalysePearsonCorelation <- function(probe) {
A.vector <- experiments.matrix[probe,]
p.values <- c()
for(probe.name in rownames(experiments.matrix)) {
B.vector <- experiments.matrix[probe.name,]
p.values <- c(p.values, cor.test(A.vector, B.vector)$p.value)
}
return (p.values)
}
RNA Probes
> pearson.cor <- lapply(probes, AnalysePearsonCorelation)
Moving to the cloud in 3 lines of code!

12. Discovering genes
Topomaps of clustered genes
This work was based on a similar approach to:
A Gene Expression Map for Caenorhabditis elegans, Stuart K. Kim, et al., 12
Science 293, 2087 (2001)
13. Conclusions
R is great for statistics.
It’s easy to scale up R using Segue.
We are all going to live very long.
