The 2018 NLPL Winter School was co-located and partially overlapping
with the [http://ahm17.neic.nordforsk.org/ NeIC All-Hands Meeting] (AHM),
which some NLPL team members attended.
The NeIC meeting was held from January 29 to February 1, 2018,
in the Norwegian mountain resort at [https://www.thonhotels.no/skeikampen Skeikampen].

Starting already after lunch on Monday, January 29, NLPL kicked off
its winter school in ''E-Infrastructure and Scientific Computing
for Nordic Natural Language Processing Research''.
The winter school had a duration of two days, i.e. ended with
lunch on Wednesday, January 31.
There were around 20–25 participants, where the majority came from the NLPL partner sites.

NLPL team members, associates at partner sites (e.g. doctoral and post-doctoral fellows,
possibly also some MSc students), and other prospective users of the infrastructure were invited to attend;
NLPL partners(i.e. members of the project team) had their cost of participation covered by the project.

		+	= Software Environment =
		+
		+	The deep learning sessions will include hands-on laboratory sessions following the
		+	[https://github.com/LxMLS/lxmls_guide LxMLS tutorial], although switching over
		+	to PyTorch (instead Theano).
		+	Stephan Oepen has prepared a Python virtual environment will all LxLMS dependencies
		+	installed, including PyTorch with GPU support:
		+
		+	module use -a /projects/nlpl/software/modulefiles/
		+	module add nlpl-lxmls
		+
		+	There is a one-time preparaptory step to obtain the ‘student’ starting package from LXMLS:
		+
		+	git clone https://github.com/LxMLS/lxmls-toolkit.git
		+	cd lxmls-toolkit
		+	git checkout student
		+
		+	Just now at least, there is a minor incompatibility with the standard version of SciPy
		+	installed on Abel and a newer version that the LXMLS toolkit assumes.
		+	To accomodate for this mismatch, all occurence of <tt>scipy.special</tt>
		+	must be changed to <tt>scipy.misc</tt>, including in the LXMLS library file
		+	<tt>lxmls/deep_learning/numpy_models/mlp.py</tt>.
		+
		+	Finally, the LXMLS code assumes that its top-level directory is visible for Python <tt>import</tt> commands;
		+	when inside the <tt>lxmls-toolkit</tt> directory, the following shell command should have
		+	the right effect:
		+
		+	export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:.
		+
		+
		+	= Logistics and Registration =
		+
		+	The bus to Skeikampen will leave at 09:30 (CET). We will be informed about which pier on Monday morning. This is due to the traffic conditions at OSL.
		+	Please meet at the OSL Arrival Area Meeting Point at 09:00.
		+
		+	[https://avinor.no/en/airport/oslo-airport/plan-your-trip/map/ Complete Map of OSL]
		+
		+	NLPL will provide bus transfer from and to Oslo Aiport Gardermoen (OSL),
		+	leaving at 9:30 on Monday morning and returning to OSL around 16:30 on
		+	Wedensday.
		+	The transfer and accomodation at Skeikampen will be directly covered
		+	by NeIC.
		+	Travel expenses to and from Oslo Airport will need to be submitted
		+	to NeIC for reimbursement after completion of the winter school.
		+	Note that reimbursement for the travel to OSL is for NLPL Project Team members only.
		+
		+	Please record your intent to participate in the winter school
		+	through the on-line registration form.
		+	A limited number of hotel rooms and travel stipends are available.
		+	For reasons of fairness, we will want to make sure that all NLPL partner sites can send
		+	some participants (three per site, on average).
		+	We will post confirmed registrations on this page by Monday, December 18;
		+	please make your own travel arrangements once your participation has been
		+	confirmed.
