Data analytics and machine learning

Do more with your data!

NeSI provides a range of specialised software capabilities, infrastructure, and services to allow you to explore more possibilities in your field, gain more insight from your data, and work more efficiently across your projects using analytics and machine learning.

Specialised software:

• R and Python users can get right into using and exploring the several built-in packages or create custom code.

• Jupyter on NeSI is particularly well suited to artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads. R Studio and/or Conda can be accessed via Jupyter.

• Commonly used data science environments and libraries such as Keras, LambdaStack, Tensorflow and Conda are available to create comprehensive workflows.
