During IGARSS 2023 in Pasadena, CA, the Interagency Implementation and Advanced Concepts Team (IMPACT) members Manil Maskey, Iksha Gurung, and Muthukumaran Ramasubramanian (ST11) teamed up with researchers from the Jülich Supercomputing Centre for the extensive, full-day tutorial End-to-End Machine Learning with High Performance and Cloud Computing. This tutorial catered to participants from various locations worldwide and aimed to provide a collaborative, hands-on experience. The tutorial covered essential theoretical concepts related to computing platforms and AI foundation models. Additionally, it focused on the fine-tuning process of the Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 based foundation model. Participants also had the opportunity to explore downstream applications, specifically inland flood water detection, and burn scar delineation. The tutorial's practical sessions allowed attendees to interact with large-scale foundation models within high-performance and cloud computing environments. This enabled them to gain valuable insights and enhance their skills in the field of end-to-end machine learning.
