CIDS is a framework for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) for applications from engineering, materials, and natural sciences. It combines models, functions, and pipelines from libraries such as tensorflow/keras, sklearn, scipy, and pandas to build modular, flexible, and reproducible AI models.

The interface KadiAI integrates AI tools, such as CIDS, seamlessly into Kadi workflows and interacts with Kadi’s repositories and data management features.

The full documentation is available at:

https://intelligent-analysis.gitlab.io/cids/

The CIDS and KadiAI source codes are available at:

https://gitlab.com/intelligent-analysis/cids

Demo scripts of CIDS projects are available at:

The invite-only community repository demos contains scripts for applications ranging from motion analysis to hybrid finite elements in solid mechanics.

Install

The reference configuration is a Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) OS. For any other configuration, the steps below are given as is, but not guaranteed to work.

  1. Download and install your favorite Python IDE (e.g. PyCharm Professional, VS Code)

  2. Download and install Git (Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install git-all)

    • Install your favorite Git Client (e.g. GitKraken)

There are two ways to install the required environments. Manual installation with pip requires all operating system components and packages (in particular Nvidia CUDA, CUDNN, and drivers) to be installed manually with compatible versions.

Manual install with conda and pip

  1. Install a Python (>3.10) distribution (e.g. Anaconda): https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip

  2. Set up GPU support and CUDA: https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu

    • Requires CUDA, CUDNN and Nvidia drivers with compatible versions (may clash with requirements by other programs on the host machine)

    • Compatible combinations: https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source#gpu

    • Anaconda offers a convenient way that sets up CUDA and CUDNN, if the right driver is available. Select the CUDA toolkit and CUDNN version compatible with your GPU:

    conda install -c conda-forge cudatoolkit=11.2.2 cudnn=8.1.0
    
  3. Permanently add the CUDA library path to your environment, e.g., via conda activate:

    conda activate MY_ENVIRONMENT_NAME
    mkdir -p $CONDA_PREFIX/etc/conda/activate.d
    echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$CONDA_PREFIX/lib/' > $CONDA_PREFIX/etc/conda/activate.d/env_vars.sh
    
  4. Go to the CIDS repository directory on your system.

  5. Linux (Ubuntu)/Mac shell or Windows command prompt:

    pip install -e .[dev]
    
  6. Install git pre-commit hooks for development

    pre-commit install
    

First steps

After installing and building the docker images, scripts can be executed from the project root directory with the following bash scripts (linux only). The scripts under demos/00_examples can serve as templates.

Clone the repository https://gitlab.com/intelligent-analysis/demos besides your cids repository:

$ git clone git@gitlab.com:intelligent-analysis/demos.git
$ ls
cids/ demos/

Run

python -u [ path to file in demo folder ]

Examples

python -u demos/00_examples/A1_convert_mnist.py

          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
          as modifying the License.

      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
      the conditions stated in this License.

   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.

   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
