# Sharing Solutions on Piazza

📗 Use the sign-up sheet: Google Sheet
📗 You can sign up and post anonymously (anonymous Piazza posts are not anonymous to instructors).
📗 You must post before the official deadline of the homework and your post must include: (1) a copy or a screenshot of your version of the question and (2) detailed solution and explanation to how you come up with the solution.
📗 Each good post will receive 0.25 points. Incorrect solutions and/or solutions without explanations will receive no points.

# Q14 Discussion Topic

📗 Please create a follow-up discussion post on the Piazza (it is okay to post anonymously). No Canvas submissions are required. The grades will be updated at the end of the week on Canvas.
📗 The official deadline is July 25: if you post after this deadline, your Quiz grade on Canvas will not be updated until the midterm or the final exam. You can post and earn the points until August 10.
📗 This discussion is to be completed after the midterm.
📗 Go to the K-means clustering demo Link and find an example in which the algorithm converges to a local minimum that is not a global minimum. Please also include the global minimum clustering for the same dataset. Share the two screenshots on Piazza: Link.
📗 Please specify in the post which data set you used (e.g. mine is Gaussian Mixture).
📗 You can use the same one I gave during the lecture, but make sure you can replicate it.

# Self-Driving Car Demo

This is a demo for Markov decision process. Moving to different tiles lead to different rewards between -1 and 1 (red: worst reward, blue: negative reward, white: zero reward, gray: positive reward, green: best reward).
