One of the challenges of teaching applied data science courses is managing individual students local computing environment. This is especially challenging when teaching massively open online courses (MOOCs) where students come from across the globe and have a variety of access to and types of computing systems. There are additional challenges with using sensitive health information for clinical data science education. Here we describe the development and performance of a computing platform developed to support a series of MOOCs in clinical data science. This platform was designed to restrict and log all access to health datasets while also being scalable, accessible, secure, privacy preserving, and easy to access. Over the 19 months the platform has been live it has supported the computation of more than 2300 students from 101 countries.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
