Lectures are given by prof. Ing. Tomáš Kliegr, Ph.D.; times and rooms are in INSIS. 4IZ566 has a lecture every week. 4IZ582 has one every other week — 23.09., 07.10., 21.10., 02.12. and 16.12. by VŠE, 11.11. and 18.11. by ÚTIA (Institute of Information Theory and Automation, Czech Academy of Sciences).
A VŠE seminar is 45 min taught material over a Jupyter notebook, 30 min own work on the
nbgrader assignment, 15 min minitest in INSIS. The mid-term test is written on 11 November at
the start of the seminar slot, before the first ÚTIA seminar. The ÚTIA seminars have their own format. The notebooks are handed out in
class and on jupyter.vse.cz; assignments are fetched, validated and
submitted through its Assignments tab under the course 4iz566-582_ZS2627.
Term project¶
Teams of two, milestones and the AI component on the term project page. Presentations and defences take the seminar slots on 9 and 16 December; the presentation is mandatory for every team member, and each student answers a verification question on the project.
4IZ566 versus 4IZ582¶
The teaching differs only in the lecture: every week for 4IZ566, every other week for 4IZ582. Seminars, assignments and the ÚTIA block are shared. In the term project the AI component is mandatory for 4IZ582 and an optional extension for 4IZ566.
