Elements of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Prof. Dr. Jens Dittrich, Prof. Dr. Jörg Hoffmann, Thorsten Klößner, Prof. Dr. Bernt Schiele, Dr. Sebastian Schuster Basic Lecture, 9 CP, Winter Semester 2022

Hi all

Just to clarify on the announcement yesterday, the "tutorials" next week will be run like "office hours",

which means you don't have to come exactly at the beginning of the time slots but can come to ask questions any time within the time slots.

Please take some time to fill in the Qualis survey for us.

Here is the link: https://qualis.uni-saarland.de/eva/?l=139469&p=g7v4u7

(The title of the survey includes Prof. Dr. Vera Demberg and Dr. Frances Yung as lecturers, which is not true. Please just ignore it)

The deadline to submit the survey is 25.2.2023.

Hi All

The exam of this course will take place on 23.2.2023 at 10:00. Location is Günter-Hotz-Hörsaal.
Please don't forget to register. The deadline is 16.2.2023. Note that your registration is displayed on the CMS with a time lag and is currently not yet displayed. Please contact me if you still cannot see your registration by 15.2.2023.

An "Exam Info" file has been uploaded at the bottom of the material section. It contains important information and tips about the exam.
Please read it carefully.

The solutions to the last exercise sheet will also be uploaded after its deadline on Sunday.  Therefore, you can fully use the time in the tutorials and the office hour next week to ask your tutors about all topics in the course in order to prepare for the exam.

Dear students,

we were notified that the function graph image for exercise 2 of the recent assignment has been missing. This has now been fixed, we apologize for this mistake. You can find the updated version in the materials section.

Additionally, the following sentence has been stripped from exercise 1 a), which asks you do perform ordinary breadth-first search without duplicate checking:

"Draw and mark nodes representing duplicate states by crossing them out, but do not consider them for expansion."

Duplicate checking is only intended to be used in part b), where it is explicitly mentioned. Please be aware of this change.

Regards, Thorsten Klößner

Hi all,

Unfortunately, we found a mistake in Exercise 4 of Assignment 2 : Entry 7 should be in Box 2 instead of Box 0.  The revised version has been uploaded to the material section. Since it is close to the deadline for the submission, we will accept answers for both versions of the questions.
Sorry for the confusion.

Dear students,

unfortunately, I have been sick since last Saturday. Therefore I won't be able to give the lecture today.

Please watch last year's recording:

(auto-translate subtitles are enabled)

We will continue from there next Thursday.

Best regards,
