Exam B: Results and appeals | |
Dear students, The grades and the scans are now available. The fourth question was harder than we predicted, so we decided to add a factor of 3 points for the exam. All appeals should be sent to the course email by the end of Monday, March 14th. Appeals should be written using the formal appeal form (course material section) only. Appeals that are not written on this form, will be disregarded. Please be respectful and *concise*. The appeals' purpose is to correct grading mistakes. You CANNOT appeal on the grading scheme itself (amount of points deducted per mistake). Note: appeals may lead to a re-evaluation of the entire exam, and might result in a lower grade. Best regards |

Exam A: Grading correction in Q1 | |
Dear students, An astute student has found a mistake in our solution for Question 1. We had relied on the monotonicity of SVM across different values of the regularization coefficient lambda. However, this property is only true for the *loss* and does not have to hold for accuracy. Therefore, we have re-graded this question to also accept answers where SVM and KNN were swapped. The grades of many students will increase in the following hour. Best regards, The course staff |

Exam A: Grading correction in Q2b | |
Dear students, A student convinced us that the true VC dimension in Q2b is not 4, but 5. Therefore, we will regrade this subquestion in the few exams that gave such an answer. It will be corrected by tomorrow. **No need to submit a formal appeal on this issue.** The grades of students who wrote VC>=3 or VC>=4 will be left unchanged. Best regards |

Exam A: Appeals | |
Dear students, The scans should be available by tomorrow. Surprisingly, the Technion is not willing to scan exams written by a pencil. Therefore, the few students who used a pencil should email the course email and we will make an effort to manually scan their exams by ourselves. All appeals should be sent to the course email by the end of Tuesday, February 22th. Appeals should be written using the formal appeal form (course material section) only. Appeals that are not written on this form, will be disregarded. Please be respectful and *concise*. The appeals' purpose is to correct grading mistakes.

Exam A: Results | |
Dear students, The grades for Moed A are available. A partial solution can be found in the course material section. We would like to address the concerns raised by the student representative: - We are aware that the exam was slightly more difficult than last year's exams. This was a conscious decision of ours and you can expect a similar difficulty level in Moed B and C. - Given the structure of the multiple choice questions, we decided to grade them more graciously as explained in the partial solution. - Question 4 addressed an important concept and skills in the course (kernels and how to prove kernel validity), which were central during the course. It did not require advanced mathematical capabilities, since the only required formula was provided. Finally, in Question 1 (part b), we initially gave 3/8 points to students who got confused between kNN and SVM, but correctly identified the training curve and provided reasonable explanations. In retrospect, we decided to gave 5/8 to this case, so some of you will see a discrepancy between the exam's grade and the scan itself. We hope you enjoyed the course. The course staff |

Material for the exam | |
Dear students, The exam will take place on Thursday, 10.02, at 17:00. Structure: Mostly similar to the two previous semesters. Earlier exams are less relevant but can still help you prepare. Duration: 3 hours. Extra material: None (closed-books exam). Calculator: no need. Material for the exam: everything from the lectures, tutorials, and homework. When solving exams from previous years, keep in mind that there might be differences between semesters. For example, topics we did not learn in this semester: * Clustering (k-means, EM) * Dimensionality reduction * Specific small topics: LDA, Sauer–Shelah lemma * Evaluation metrics (AUC, ROC, Recall & Precision) For example, topics we focused on more than in some previous semesters: * Multinomial logistic regression * Optimization and convexity * Generative models (MLE, MAP, Naïve Bayes) In our exam, you will not be required to write code in Python. We also do not expect you to memorize every formula we've seen to its finest details. However, you should thoroughly understand concepts such as gradient descent, convexity, MLE, bias-variance, etc. For example, in PAC, exact terms in formulae like generalization bounds are not required, but order of magnitude (O notation) is. We will announce office hours early next week. Stay updated. Good luck! |

Major HW2 - Updated grades and clarification | |
Dear students, 1. We added a factor of 3/10 pts to Q9 for all submissions (up to 10/10). No explanation was required other than the graphs and accuracies. 2. Regarding the Implementation score: We explicitly requested to avoid loops in kNN implementation. Students who used loops in list comprehension, i.e., list(map()), were penalized 3-4pts. Students who used apply_along_axis, were penalized 2-3. (even though these are not explicit "for"s, but they still process each row individually with a loop behavior) 3. The readability grade was split between two graders, each graded the part he checked according to the guidelines. Best regards |

Tutorial 10 - AdaBoost - Correction for Itay's tutorial | |
Dear students, Following my hybrid tutorial today, I updated the presentation of Tutorial 10. Most changes were made to the last part of the presentation (on the exponential loss), and especially to slide 21. We made it clearer that the minimized loss uses the "unthresholded" strong hypothesis at round t, rather than the thresholded (=signed, binary) hypothesis. This means that the exponential loss can indeed decrease until it is very close to 0 (rather than to 1/e when using binary hypotheses). Best regards, Itay |

Major HW2 - Clarification | |
Dear students, In lecture 08 (slides 32-33) you saw that performing preprocessing before tuning with cross-validation techniques can cause data leakage to the validation set. In major HW2, we did not want to introduce additional technical complications, and asked you to normalize according to statistics computed on the entire training set, before the cross-validation steps. Please follow the assignment's current instructions, but keep in mind that they are not ideal (as explained in the lecture). Best regards |

Major HW1 - Clarificaitons | |
Dear students, Following are few clarifications for major HW1. 1. First, relax. There are many ways to tackle and solve this assignment. You are assessed based on your report, reasoning and explanations. We do not expect a very specific set of decisions from your side. You can be creative. 2. Don’t get stuck on the first questions, e.g., typing of columns. If you’re not sure, guess and then come back later after you have finished your analysis and are more informed. It is common in ML projects rerun the different parts of the notebook several times (one of the reasons we use jupyter). 3. In Q6-8 you do not have to convert everything to OHE right away. In fact, it would be beneficial to keep the old columns since seaborn is highly compatible with these “category” types. Also, only do this for columns you think are useful, which is something you can say only after your analysis. 4. To best solve this exercise, use the tools you were given in class, in the exercise itself (including links), and in other courses you have taken. It is very easy to get lost in the sea of information across the internet, and there is no need to consume it all for this assignment. 5. Your objective is to minimize "garbage" in your dataset. Do this by cleaning outliers, imputing meaningful data, throwing out meaningless features, and creating new and meaningful ones. Always keep in mind: "how would this feature affect a learning model (e.g. kNN or decision tree)?". 6. In Q8 you are required to extract data from complex features. The "job" column contains many different types of jobs and also includes unemployment (no job). As most of you pointed out, using OHE for this column outputs a huge dataset. Furthermore, univariate analysis reveals that most jobs provide zero information about the target variables. For those reasons alone, it is enough to simply drop this column. Also, there is nothing you can extract from "job" that will help you, as opposed to "current location" and "address" (that DO have meaningful data to extract). It is your job to find out what to extract and then figure out if it helps you in the prediction task. Best regards |

Major assignment 1 is out | |
Dear students, Major assignment 1 (out of 3) is now available in the assignment section. It is due by Sunday 05.12.2021 at 23:59. Submission is in pairs only. The assignment is mandatory and its grade is worth 8.33% of the final grade. We trust you to solve it solely with your partner. The assignment concentrates on data exploration and data preparation. All three major assignments will handle the same data, so, the insights you will gain in this assignment will help you throughout the two other assignments. Best regards |

Short assignment 1 - Corrections | |
Dear students, 1. In the probability refresher part, the 4th subquestion in Q1 (i.e., Q1.4) is cancelled since an explanation may require slightly "advanced" tools/ideas which are taught on courses in statistics but not in probability courses. You can submit your answer but we will not check it. 2. It was brought to our attention that the Stanford's "Probability Theory Review for Machine Learning" (link in our assignment) has a critical typo in section 3.2 (Variance). The variance of the sum of independent variables is the *sum* of the variances, not their product. Best regards |

Short assignment 1 - Preparing for the course | |
Dear students, Short assignment 1 (out of 5) is now available. It is due by Monday 08.11.2021 at 23:59. The assignment will help you prepare for the course, both programmatically (in Python) and mathematically (probability and linear algebra). This preparation is very important for the rest of the course. Note that the assignment seems longer than it actually is. During the course we will use a Piazza forum for questions and discussions on the assignments, lectures, and tutorials. Please register at: http://piazza.com/technion.ac.il/fall2021/236756 Wish you all a great semester! |
