Data Mining Assignment Extension

Due to the recent issues we have been experiencing with the SAS OnDemand server, the deadline for the Data Mining assignment has been extended to Monday 15th @23:00.

Programming for Big Data

There has been some confusion about the exact programming requirements for the Programming for Big Data module.

This module covers 3 different programming environments - SAS, R  and Hadoop (Java programming).      There is an expectation that all who take this module are competent programmers. Experience in SAS programming is not necessarily required but some knowledge of R and Java is required.

The Hadoop section of this module gives students the most problems.  It does not just require Java programming experience but also requires general systems integration experience.  Hadoop is installed on a Linux virtual machine.  The Java code is developed in Eclipse outside of the VM and data and jar files need to be passed to the VM to be run.   The environment setup and management can prove to be difficult for some students who do not have adequate programming experience.

Please note also that there are limited spaces (max 25) on this module across both part time and full time students.

If there are any specific questions  - please contact Sarah Jane Delany.

Registration before November 30th

Please note that students not registered by 30^th November 2014, will be removed from official registration records and no longer considered to be students of the Institute. Students registering on their programme on or after the 1^st December 2014 will be required to pay all fees in full, including the €200 late registration charge and a €250 re-registration charge.

Option Module Choices for Full-Time Students

There is a form under "Important Documents & Forms" (on the left of the blog), where full-time students should choose their option modules for next semester.

Semester 1 Assignment Schedule

SAS OnDemand & VPN Access for Probability & Statistics Students

To join the Probability & Statistical Inference module on SAS OnDemand for Academics please use the following link:

https://odamid.oda.sas.com/SASODAControlCenter/enroll.html?enroll=c60247d3-a697-4903-b4fa-468277a3a491

Details for connecting to the DIT VPN are available from:

http://www.dit.ie/computing/studentresources/vpnaccess/

Here is a summary of the steps to connect to the Cavan server across the VPN (thanks to Jack O'Neil):

1. Install the latest version of Firefox. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
2. Install the latest version of Java. https://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
3. Search for configure Java on your computer and click to open
4. Go to the security tab, set the Security Level to Medium (alternatively you could leave the security level at high and add https://ditnet.dit.ie to the exception list)
5. Open up Firefox and go to https://ditnet.dit.ie/ (firefox provides the best support for Juniper Client and is their recommended browser for using the VPN software)
6. Log in using your student number and ICT Password
7. Click on the Start button in the bottom right
8. Install the Juniper Setup Client when prompted
9. Click on the link to continue when finished
10. Firefox will try to block the site from running the software, and you will be automatically redirected to the download page. You need to be quick to click the allow button (this took me quite a few tries!)
11. Their SSL certificate is out of date, so Java will complain. Ignore all of the warnings, keep clicking continue, allow etc.
12. Once everything is installed you’ll see a popup telling you you’re connected
13. Open up Remote Desktop Connection and connect to cavan.ict.ad.dit.ie
14. Log in using ICTDOMAIN\<Your Student Number> and your DIT password

If you want to use the VM on your laptop or other machine you will need to have VirtualBox installed.

All options will be covered at the first lecture.

Computational Techniques in Bioinformatics option module

For any full-time DA student interested in this option module, a repeat 1 hour first lecture has been scheduled for Tuesday Jan 28th at 1pm in room KA-3-022 as the current time clashes with a DA core module.   If there is adequate interest the timetable for Bioinformatics will be re-scheduled from next week onwards.

Knowledge Acquisition and Modelling Class 27th Jan 2014

Class will be in KA-G-026 tonight starting @ 18.30

Computational Techniques in Bioinformatics option module

To any full time MSc student interested in taking Computational Techniques in Bioformatics as an option module, the lecture time is Monday 3pm to 5pm in KE-G-043.

Please note that the interest in this module is low and if the numbers attending during the first week are not adequate the module will not be able to run.   So please also attend lectures in week 1 for a different option module that you can take if Bioinformatics does not run.

Option Choices - Full time students only

Full time MSc in Computing students need to indicate which option modules that they wish to take in the coming semester.  

Please select and submit your option choices at http://bit.ly/1hlUqQC by Wednesday 22nd January.

MSc Research Methods Portfolios

Hi all,

please submit a hardcopy of your portfolios to the School of Computing office (A324) into the box marked "MSc Research Methods"

If you have already submitted your complete portfolio to me there is no need to submit it again,
but if you have left a few bits out, you need to get them to me.

If you put your portfolio in my pigeon-hole in A324, that's perfect also.

If you updated your proposal based on my feedback, a new hardcopy is needed (so that I can show it to the externs).

Also you need to print out a copy of the other bits: the five papers, the thesis shell, etc.
