Weekly update FYS-STK3155/4155

Dear All, this is sadly our last week of lectures. It has been incredibly fun. And the amount of labor you all have put in your projects is amazing. Thx a million for all these heroic efforts. we hope to be able to come with feedback to project 2 by the end of this week. The deadline for project 3 is now December 17. Else, this week the lab on Wednesday runs as normal and the last lecture with the final discussion of Boltzmann machines as well as a summary of the course plus final discussion of project 3 is on Thursday the 29th. There is no lecture on November 30. 

Furthermore, as you can see from the poll here, I am still trying to organize the final workshop. Based on your inputs it seems that it is only December the 11 which fits. 

For the workshop, the idea is that every group makes a 5 min presentation. There are so many exciting proposals for project 3 that I myself think I would really enjoy listening to what you have done and see the breadth of your researching.   If you are away that week but members of your group are present, they can make the presentation. 

Thereafter we can have a poster session. Please try to answer the questions in the poll that was sent you all.

Based on your replies, we will then decide whether we will run a workshop or not. 

Instead of giving extra points for the bets posters, I think it would be better with gift cards to the Akademika bookstore at UiO. The winner poster gets a gift card worth 1000 NOK, and the two runner-ups receive gifts of 500 NOK each.

Best wishes to you all and thx again,

Morten, Bendik, Kristine and ?yvind
