Plans for week 48, November 24-28

Dear all, this is our last week with regular activities and today, Monday November 24, we will have the last lecture.?

Today we will try to wrap up our discussions of autoencoders with a link to the principal component analysis before we try to summarize what we have done this semester (second part of the session today).? On Tuesday and Wednesday we will have our last lab sessions.?

The last set of weekly exercises has a deadline on Friday this week. We hope you have enjoyed the semester. We have and it has been a great pleasure to get to know you all. We plan to have the feedback for the second project by the end of this week, and the deadline for project 3 is December 15 and we are aiming at having the final grades early January. We will also go through all approved weekly exercises by the end of next week.? Several of you have experienced (and we have as well) that not all weekly exercises are properly registered. We will send an email to all of you by the end of next week where we ask you to check that all exercises have been registered.

The plans for this week are hence:
