CSC321 Spring 2016 - Assignments
- Assignments will normally be posted on
this web page one week before they are due.
- Each of the 4 assignments will be worth
10% of the final grade.
- Late assignments will not be accepted.
Collaboration Policy for Assignments
- You are expected to work on the
assignments by yourself. You should not discuss them
with anyone except the tutors or the instructor. The
report you hand in should be entirely your own work
and you may be asked to demonstrate how you got any
results that you report.
What will be in the assignments
- A
typical assignment will require you to write (or
modify) and use some Matlab
code that implements a simple version of a learning
procedure that has recently been covered in the
course. You will have to submit a very brief report
(one page plus figures) that describes the results
you obtained.
- Assignment
1 will involve
using the backpropagation
algorithm to learn distributed representations of
words.
- Assignment
2 will involve using variations of the
basic backpropagation
algorithm.
- Assignment
3 will involve learning a mixture of
Gaussians.
- Assignment
4 will involve learning a Restricted
Boltzmann Machine and using it to improve backpropagation.
Submitting your assignments
- All assignments should be submitted electronically
as pdf files through the UTORSubmit
web site.
- For Assignment 1, submit a 2-page file
containing your results and commentary, and an
(optional) file of figures supporting your
conclusions. The figures file should not contain any
commentary.
- For Assignment 2, submit a 2-page file
containing your results and commentary, and an
(optional) file of figures supporting your
conclusions. The figures file should not contain any
commentary.
- For Assignment 3, submit a file of figures
and a 1-page file containing your reports. The figures
file should not contain any commentary.
- For Assignment 4, submit a file of text
containing your results and commentary and a file of
figures supporting your conclusions. The figures file
should not contain any commentary. Altogether, the
files should be no more than 3 pages, with at most 2
pages of text. One page of text is quite sufficient.
