Frequently Asked Questions#

1. My Laptop/Computer is very old and I am concerned that I might not be able to partake as much as I’d ideally like to.#

There exist a number of resources to run the tutorials online, and also work on the practical problems for yourself online without having to rely on the computing prowess of your laptop:

  1. Google Colab, quite probably the most well-known solution to run JuPyter notebooks online, and not have to concern yourself with mismatched software dependencies as 99.99% of the notebooks run out-of-the-box on Google Colab.

  2. AWS SageMaker Studio Lab new-ish competitor to Google Colab. Pretty much the same as Google Colab, just running on Amazon Web-Services.

  3. PaperSpace Gradient Hosted JuPyter runtime on the cloud with pre-installed machine learning packages.

Look at Software Infrastructure for more details on the software setup.

2. I have a question which is not suitable for the Moodle, who should I contact?#
