Description

Download pre-configured setup files to quick launch a Clara COVID-19 CT Scan Classification model on Azure Machine Learning and fine-tune it with a reference dataset using NGC-AzureML Quick Launch Toolkit. azureml-ngc-tools is a CLI toolkit that enables you to launch a fully setup Jupyter notebook environment on AzureML with a combination of NGC assets pre-installed.

These ready-to-use config files work seamlessly with the NGC-AzureML Quick Launch CLI Toolkit (azureml-ngc-tools) to provide you direct access to a fully setup and optimally configured Azure Machine Learning environment with the Clara Train SDK container and the additional resources required for this example, pre-installed for you.

The two ready-to-use files are:

1. azure_config.json: Defines the most optimal Azure environment setup for this use-case. Simply insert your Azure credentials in the indicated fields and use right away.

2. ngc_config.json: Pre-installs the Clara Train SDK, a pre-trained COVID-19 CT Scan Classification model (developed in collaboration with the NIH), and ready-to-use code to fine-tune the pre-trained model with a custom dataset on your AzureML environment. No modifications are required; use this file as is.

Usage Instructions

After inserting your Azure credentials in the azure_config.json file downloaded from here, quick launch a ready-to-use Jupyter notebook on AzureML with the following bash commands:

pip install azureml-ngc-tools

azureml-ngc-tools --login azure_config.json --app ngc_config.json

Disclaimer

The ready-to-use config files, the NGC-AzureML Quick Launch Toolkit (azureml-ngc-tools) and example code was developed by NVIDIA. It is based on a segmentation and classification model developed by NVIDIA researchers in conjunction with the NIH.
