Late submission policy: Any
homework submitted after class on the due date will be subject to a
20-point deduction per 24 hour period. Extensions should be requested
at least 3 days in advance and will only be granted for exceptional
reasons (eg conference submission).
From here you can access the Problem Sets when they become
available:
- Problem Set 1. Integrate-and-fire neurons and Perceptrons (PDF). Due September 21.
- Problem Set 2. Delta Rule, Gradient Descent, and Backpropagation (PDF). Additional files: perceptron_delta.m, faces, and MNIST digits. Please hand in your MATLAB code as well. Due October 5.
- Problem Set 3. Lyapunov Functions and Contrastive Hebbian Learning (PDF). Use the MNIST database from problem set 2, and hand in your MATLAB code. Due October 24.
- Problem Set 4. Convolutional Neural Networks (PDF). Additional files: fake_inout_circ.m and circ.m. Due Nov 7.
