As it was mentioned on the project and gpu instructions, the submit server has very limited computational budget and you should always use jobs for your tasks. This also extends to tasks that don't require a GPU, such as installing a conda environment or building libraries. You can simply ask for an interactive job (as it's mentioned on the gpu instructions), and then run such tasks. You'll have more memory and CPU cores and things will run much faster. You can edit the .sub file to specify the number of GPU and CPUs you need for the interactive job. If you don't need any GPUs, editting the file will likely result in a quicker access.
Feel free to use the forum if you had any questions/difficulties using the cluster. All the best, Your HLCV Team |

You may now find the project instructions, including phase descriptions and deadlines, on a dedicated Project page on CMS. Feel free to use the dedicated sub-forum if there were any questions.
You may now find your GPU-cluster credentials under your Personal Status page on CMS. We additionally have provided a brief introduction to the cluster, which can be found in the Materials section. The files includes a Markdown description with a sample script and show how one can submit a sample job to the cluster.
Lastly, there will be no tutorial on Monday June 17th.
Best of luck with the project!

High-Level Computer Vision
Overview
This course will cover essential techniques for high-level computer vision. These techniques facilitate semantic interpretation of visual data, as it is required for a broad range of applications like robotics, driver assistance, multi-media retrieval, surveillance, etc. In this area, the recognition and detection of objects, activities, and visual categories have seen dramatic progress over the last decade. We will discuss the methods that have led to a state-of-the-art performance in this area and provide the opportunity to gather hands-on experience with these techniques.
