I will add everyone here on the mailing list. We also have the [calendar](https://awg.osdr.space/t/ai-ml-awg-subgroup-digital-twins/1231) that will show our scheduled meeting times.

Make sure you are in the AI:ML AWG to join: [The Open Science Data Repository AWG Community](https://awg.osdr.space/g)

We may adjust the meeting time from time to time.

Thanks everyone!

Jian.

Hi,  
Can I please be added to the sub group mailing list and calendar too?  
I would love to contribute to the project, is there any reading material I can get started with for 101s?  
Thanks,

Today’s **Digital Twin mtg** was switched to next Thursday, check the updated calendar invite:

[https://awg.osdr.space/upcoming-events](https://awg.osdr.space/upcoming-events)

If you dont have the Digital Twin mtg in your calendar, it means you need to join the AI/ML AWG.

[Join the AI/ML AWG here](https://awg.osdr.space/g)

When someone joins the AWG originally, you arent automatically joining all 9 groups. This is the best way to help give the chairs-leads control and help organize their communities. Cheers and thanks all 🙂

Hi @vaishnavi.nagesh (and everyone)

Please take a look at the [Google Colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1r7-NYufjlQzdyXSZ5scFfWGqfj3voStW?usp=sharing) that I started, combining all the RR-9 retina/eye data and imputing missing values. Anyone can make a copy and move forward with this notebook. Next steps that someone can take would be:

- Improve the imputation
- Use this dataset to create a larger synthetic dataset
- Use a CVAE or similar architecture to start training a digital twin!

Dear all - [@AIMLawg](https://awg.osdr.space/groups/aimlawg)

We will be meeting tomorrow at 9 am PST (California Time). Besides the calendar here on the forum, I will also be sending an outlook calendar invite. If you did not receive this invite in the next 15 minutes or so but would like to add yourself, please PM me, or email me directly at jgong@uwyo.edu. The calendar invite is a zoom link to our meeting (the same link here on the forum).

@vaishnavi.nagesh, @surya.ramku, welcome!

See you all tomorrow!

Best,  
Jian.

Hi @jgong thank you for a great meeting yesterday! Could you please share the GitHub repo for this project? @vaishnavi.nagesh would like to contribute.

@vaishnavi.nagesh , please PM me with your GitHub email. I will add you as a contributor.

In general, here is our shared GitHub:

> **[GitHub - GoJian/AI-ML\_AWG](https://github.com/GoJian/AI-ML_AWG)**
>
> Contribute to GoJian/AI-ML\_AWG development by creating an account on GitHub.

It is a fork from the official AWG GitHub ([GitHub - OpenScienceDataRepo/AI-ML\_AWG](https://github.com/OpenScienceDataRepo/AI-ML_AWG))

We work most of the time on our own fork of the official, and I will send regular (monthly) merge requests to update the official. This is the plan for now :).

I hope to find a permanent place on the forum to put it (probably on our project page). I will work on updating this GitHub the next couple of days. It is slightly out-dated. Will check in a few more files, including Lauran’s notebook.

Best,  
Jian.

Dear all -

We will meet today to discuss progresses made towards building a digital twin model of the retina. For the past few weeks, we focused on assembling datasets and building a robust imputation pipeline. @vaishnavi.nagesh has made some good progress on that front. We continue the discussions on this and support her work.

Some changes:

1. We are making rapid progress and so we will switch to a weekly meeting format starting next week (every **Thursday 10 am PST** ). We aim to push this work into a publication quickly and we can use all the help we can from you. Some tasks in mind are: (a) literature review, (b) coding, (c) making figures/diagrams, (d) building an interactive dashboard & web interface.

2. We will organize a bi-weekly working session focused on paired/group coding, using VSCode’s Live Share extension. This meeting will be **every other Friday 11 am PST**. This meeting is intended to get members up to speed with accessing and manipulating data, so that all of us can feel comfortable using developer tools. Come to code with us and ask questions.

3. Within the project, we will self-organize into two sub-group cohorts. One coding cohort, and the other data cohort. The coding cohort’s job is to test new features & models. The data cohort’s focus is on assembling more relevant dataset and putting everything together so that the dataset can be used by the coding cohort. You are welcome to join either or both. Our goal is to build this out into a foundational model of the retina. We will have some in-depth discussions on foundational models. I can tell you that this is really exciting!

Hope you join us on this journey together!

Best,  
Jian.
