On September 21, 2023, the Broad Institute's Data Sciences Platform and Google's AI in Healthcare and Life Sciences team held a joint workshop, showcasing Terra capabilities using machine learning tools. The workshop included a hands-on demonstration of leveraging Terra for Vertex model training and deployment, and covered topics including GPU accelerators for managed training jobs, multi-node distributed training, and hyperparameter optimization.

Agenda
Part 1: Train in a Terra Notebook
Learn how to get started training an ML model directly in Terra from a notebook
running in a Cloud Environment.
Part 2: Scaling, Training and Serving using Vertex AI
Learn how to run a training job using Google Cloud fully-managed services. You
don’t need to worry about the notebook environment automatically timing out during
a long training run.
Part 3: Hyper Parameter Optimization and Multi-node training
Learn how to how to run a hyperparameter tuning job on Vertex AI, using the
training code. We define the parameters that we want to vary during the HP search
