Deep Learning HW3 is out
|
We have published HW3 for the course. This assignment is about half or 2/3 as long as the second one, and you have one less weeks for submitting it. The HW assignment can be started right away. To complete this assignment, you will require GPUs. All of you have been given permission to access the faculty High Power Computing systems for that. Connection details can be found here: https://vistalab-technion.github.io/cs236781/assignments/hpc-servers If you manage to access the server but your account does not seem to have access, please contact uamir.mannatcampus.technion.ac.il with your ID and the username you want to add access for. Because the assignment was published late in the day, we postponed the submission deadline by one day. Best of luck, The Course Staff |

Announcements
|
Dear students, We were made aware that some students do not allocate resources when using Lambda with commands like `srun` or the provided `py-sbatch.sh` script. This slows down the server and hurts other students’ ability to complete the HW. In order to free resources, we might terminate all long-standing or resource-intensive processes that are using the edge node resources, so be aware. For details on how to allocate resources properly, please visit: https://vistalab-technion.github.io/cs236781/assignments/hpc-servers Unrelated, we plan to rebalance the load and grade portion between HW3 and the project. HW3 will be worth 15% of the final grade, and the final project will be worth 50%. This is instead of the 25% and 40% originally allocated to these workloads. The course staff. |

Updated notebook for HW 2 part 6 YOLO
|
We have updated notebook 6 in the assignment. The new notebook can be found by downloading the assignment again, or by downloading it directly from the Piazza post: https://piazza.com/class/mgdhmltpzql7bg/post/63 The Piazza post also includes the expected output of the first cell for your convenience. The changes are: 1. The code now uses YOLOv5 instead of v3. 2. The inference code is now provided for you, matching the style of the other notebooks. 3. We removed question 2. (Note that it still exists in the answers.py file; it just will not be asked, displayed, or graded. This is to avoid changing the question order.) Anyone who has already progressed in this notebook does not need to make changes — it is fine to use YOLOv3 if you managed to answer the questions with it. Best of luck, The Course Staff |

Updated environment yml file
|
Dear students, We created a new environment .yml file that installs correctly on Lambda and allows running all notebooks. If you are facing any troubles with the Python environment, we suggest switching to it. It is available under “Assignments” on the website and in a pinned note on Piazza. The course staff. |

Deep Learning HW2 is out
|
We have published HW2 for the course. This assignment is about twice as long as the first one, and you have an extra week for submitting it. The HW assignment can be started right away. The first three notebooks require material up to week 4 (current), and all relevant material will be covered by the end of week 6. To complete this assignment, you will require GPUs. All of you have been given permission to access the faculty High Power Computing systems for that. Connection details can be found here: https://vistalab-technion.github.io/cs236781/assignments/hpc-servers If you manage to access the server but your account does not seem to have access, please contact uamir.mannatcampus.technion.ac.il with your ID and the username you want to add access for. Because the assignment was published with a one-day delay from the schedule, we postponed the submission deadline by one day. Best of luck, The Course Staff |

CS236781 HW1 is now out
|
HW 1 is now available for download on the course website, and you should be able to solve it with the material covered in the first week. The HW is due on November 24, 2025, and we would accept late submissions under the late policy, which can be found in the information_sheet.pdf. We highly recommend starting the assignment early to allow enough time for solving and asking us questions. Questions about the HW can be asked on the Piazza forum and in the office hours. Best of luck, The course staff. |

Rabin Day Makeup Lecture correction
|
Dear students, In our last announcement we stated the lecture would end early, but the ceremony is in fact from 12:30 to 13:30, and so the first hour of the lecture would be 13:30-14:30 tomorrow. We are sorry for the confusion. The course staff. |

Zoom link: https://technion.zoom.us/j/3881992654 If you prefer to have the first tutorial in person as well, we can schedule one next week. Please contact me via email or Piazza if you’re interested.

Tutorial 0 and Tutorials cancellation on the first week
|
Hello students, Since the semester begins this Wednesday, the first two tutorials (Moshe's on Wednesday and Itay's on Thursday) will be cancelled. A makeup tutorial will be scheduled near the end of the term. We have published the "Tutorial 0" recording under the course materials, along with links to useful resources to help you familiarize yourselves with some basics. We highly recommend watching the tutorial if you are not familiar with Conda, NumPy, or broadcasting. If you are not familiar with Python, we recommend completing the exercises as well. A reception hour for this tutorial will be held by Amir on October 30, 2025, at 12:30. You can attend in person at Taub 7 or online via Zoom: https://technion.zoom.us/j/3832426873. We will publish the recording afterward. Best, The Course Staff |
