Homework Problem Sets

There will be about 5 problem sets during the semester. Problem sets will consist of both written exercises and programming problems. Solutions should be submitted on Canvas. Deadlines will be posted on Canvas; those on the Schedule webpage are tentative.

Final Project Topic Examples

Students form groups of size 3-5, and submit their project proposal on Canvas before the proposal deadline. The project proposal should include names of the students in the group, the research topic, a brief description of existing approaches, and tentative timeline for the project.

Grading policy will be based on the final project report and the details can be found on the About webpage. In particular, grading will NOT take into account the number of students in the group and depend only on the final outcome of the project. The same grade will be given to the members in the group. The report should be in the style of a conference paper (e.g., using the style files of NIPS'18), providing an introduction/motivation, discussion of related work, a description of your work that is detailed enough that the work could be replicated, and a conclusion.

Deadlines will be posted on Canvas; those on the Schedule webpage are tentative.

Here are some examples of research topics from last fall.
