Clarification regarding major HW2 | |
| Dear students, In case there have been any misunderstandings, the Virus classification task for major HW2 is to classify the “exact virus” of the patient, not only if they have COVID or not, as is written here: https://piazza.com/class/kjlgmbb4czu3bh?cid=114 Please stay up to date with the latest questions and answers on piazza as there might be important information relevant to you.

Important: attendance to online tutorials (Monday & Wednesday) | |
| Dear students, It has come to our attention that a vast majority of students prefer to watch the tutorial recordings rather than the online zoom tutorials, and some classes have been empty. Keep in mind that this hurts the quality of the tutorials as we cannot know whether or not the lesson is clearly understood. If this continues, we will cancel one of the online tutorial classes in hopes that more students will attend the single tutorial class and help preserve the quality of our lessons. The remaining will still be recorded. Hoping to see you in class, The course staff |

Waiting list for registration | |
| Dear students, The course registration for undergraduate students has ended and is now closed. Starting now, we open a waiting list for undergraduate students (with the required prerequisites) who wish to wait for a vacancy in case other students cancel their registration. The application form is available at: https://forms.gle/dEJfJdwH1UbYd4Aq8 You can apply until Thursday, Februrary 4th. Important: we will register applicants according to multiple considerations, not only the application date. Best regards |

Prerequisite enforcement | |
| Dear students, We emphasize again that the course has prerequisites which we fully enforce this semester. The prerequisites are *both*: (1) A course in probability (094412, 104034, or equivalent). (2) A course in numerical algorithms (234125, 104283, 095295, 084135, or 034033). (*) As an alternative to numerical algorithms we allow a course in optimization (236330, 046197, or 104193). Students who registered to our course without these prerequisites, are asked to cancel their registration ASAP. Please be considerate of other students who wish to register. Best regards |

Initial course announcements | |
| Dear students, The machine learning course (236756) of the CS faculty is being updated. Previously, the course was given in two different "versions": winter (more theoretical) and spring (more practical). Looking forward, we aim to unify the course and create a blend of theory and practice. We started this change during the last semester (Winter 20/21), and will continue it during the upcoming spring semester. The course should give a clear and sound mathematical understanding of machine learning. The students will also employ the learned machine learning algorithms to solve practical problems, mainly through the assignments. To create a common mathematical language, the following prerequisites will be enforced in the coming spring semester: 1. Probability (094412 or 104034). 2. Numerical algorithms (234125, 104283, 095295, 084135, or 034033) or Optimization (236330, 046197, or 104193). We will make effort to publish the course's syllabus and exact policy during the next week. Best regards The course staff |
