Please note: 

 

In order to be able to take the final exam for BLG527E you have to have a weighted average score of 30 (over 100) for midterm and the first 3 homeworks. Otherwise you will get a VF from the course.

 

All the exams are closed books and notes.

 

There will be a total of 5 homeworks. Each homework will be evaluated on a 0/1 basis.

You have to do your homework on your own.

You can discuss the questions with your class-mates.

But you must not use somebody else's code or answer. 

Unless indicated otherwise, do not use libraries for machine learning methods. When in doubt, email the teaching assistant(s).

 

We plan to use R (https://www.datacamp.com/courses/free-introduction-to-r , https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:Microsoft+DAT204x+3T2017/course/

) for the homeworks. For the project you can use any environment of your choice.

 

Submit homeworks and projects through ninova and on time. We can not accept homeworks submitted late through email.
