Rules for the exam:

Read carefully the instructions below.

  • Write clearly your name and student number on each sheet you hand in.

  • Read carefully each question prior to formulating an answer. You are not allowed to use the course lecture notes, books, your own notes and other aids (except for non-programmable calculators).

  • Never talk to your fellow students: violation of this rule will result in an immediate termination of your exam.

  • The questions are formulated in English, answers should be also in English. Motivate each answer, write down your reasoning. For each question, the maximum number of points you can get is indicated in parentheses (total =100). The number of points gained will determine the final mark.

  • Good luck!

Dear students,

I got a few emails about the schedule for the symposium tomorrow. The progamme and some additional information has been available at http://www.dcsc.tudelft.nl/~sc42050/assign/assign.html since a while.

Unrelated announcement: There was an unfortunate typo on slide 39 of Artificial Neural Networks I. I uploaded the corrected version.

Best regards,
Jens

Dear students,

Due to a scheduling mishap Hans Hellendoorn couldn't teach the last lecture “Applications of fuzzy logic” yesterday. The material of this lecture will not be part of the exam this year. Feel free to watch back the recording from last year.

Dear students,

During the lecture today we handed out a printed version of the Matlab assignment. You can find the .pdf file here:
http://www.dcsc.tudelft.nl/~sc42050/assign/matassigndescription2017.pdf

Note: Students from Eindhoven and Twente do not need to hand in a physical copy of the report, a digital copy of the report and code is sufficient.

Regards,
Jens

Dear students,

A few notes on the literature assignment:

  • Length of the report: “The paper must be written in a two-column, using the 11-point Times Roman font, single spaced and must be between two and four pages in length.” (see description p. 4)

  • Symposium (Delft students): Attendance of the symposium is mandatory for the whole group, for the whole block (1 hour) your group is scheduled in.

  • Symposium (Eindhoven and Twente students): You are welcome to come to Delft for the symposium. Alternatively, if you are in a mixed group, it is sufficient if the Delft students present and attend. The third option is to send in a recorded presentation (e.g., YouTube) and we'll also do the Q&A after the presentation online.

Regards,
Jens
