Niao He will give an invited lecture in class today (12/6) covering her exciting work on fast variational inference for probabilistic models. Course evaluations will be given after the lecture.
Remember that your final project is due Dec 16th.
Hoping to see everyone in class today (12/1). Naveen Narisetty will give an invited lecture in class on his exciting work with probabilistic models.
We will have a talk by Niao He next Tuesday, plus course evaluations.
Final Project Report:
The final project will be submitted to Gradescope in NIPS 2016 format i.e. main manuscript of up to 8 pages, plus one page of references. Any member of the group may submit the project. Supplementary Material: You may include a supplement as additional pages appended to the main pdf. If you have supplements that cannot be submitted as pdf, please email a zipped file to sanmi@illinois.edu by the deadline. The main paper should be self-contained i.e. do not assume that the reviewer will read your supplement.
Edit:
Please make sure to include, for each member of your team, a couple of sentences to describe what he/she did exactly for the project.
Due date: 11:59pm, Dec 16, 2016
You are welcome to submit early!
Project description:
The final project will be completed in groups of up to 4 students. The project may consist of any combination of theoretical analysis, applications, and literature survey (possibly incorporating all three). The only constraint on the project is that it should include some aspect of probabilistic inference and/or learning. You should aim for a project suitable for submission to a machine learning conference e.g. NIPS, ICML, KDD, or domain-specific conferences e.g. CVPR, EMNLP, RECOMB.
Hi All,
To help the class with peer-assessment, please post your presentation slides under resources.
please create a new piazza post under the "presentations" folder and attach your slides.
Also, please update the presentation title on the signup sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GN599FSEGq_DxH1U6atcwEJyQvx2aAUA3a4xayHCMT0/edit#gid=0
The teaching staff has posted a new homework_solutions resource.
Title: HW1_sol.pdf

You can view it on the course page: https://piazza.com/illinois/fall2016/cs598/resources
The solution is revised based on the submitted version of Hsiao-Ching Chang. I've edited the solution for the first 4 problems. Some changes (mostly notational) are highlighted in the first problem in red.
Homework 2 will be posted soon.
We will have project presentations from Nov 8 - Nov 17th. Please sign up for a presentation time here:

Hi all,
Homework 1's grade is posted on gradescope. While all problems were graded and commented, only the highest two scores counts towards your HW1 grade. In other words, your recorded score is calculated by: ( the highest score + the second highest score ) / 40.
If you did not submit via gradescope and would like to know your score, please send me an email (yyang172@ilinois.edu).
The answers to HW1 will be posted before weekend.
Regards,
Yingxiang
Project proposals are due at 11:59pm on Tuesday September 27, 2016. Please submit the project proposal by email to me (sanmi@illinois.edu) using the homework naming format: http://sanmi.cs.illinois.edu/courses/CS598/homework.html. All group members should be cc'ed in the submission email.
You can find details on the format of the project proposal on the course website: http://sanmi.cs.illinois.edu/courses/CS598/projects.html
Do not forget that the homework is due by 3:30pm on Tuesday September 27, 2016, and should be submitted via gradescope.
