Written on 03.11.2026 16:14 by Alina Timashova
On Monday we have collectively decided to hold the first quiz next week, November 9. It will cover introductory materials and linear algebra recap. Relevant materials: Assignment 1 + Assignment 2 (Exercise 1 & 2); lecture slides Chapter 2 and 3 (excluding eigendecomposition and PCA). Assignment 2 is already available in Materials section, I will also upload tutorial slides soon.
For quizzes you only need a pencil and your student ID; no cheatsheets and no calculators. We start at 10:15 and if you are late, you will have less time to finish the quiz, so please be on time. Total duration of the quiz is going to be 15-20 minutes.
Teams. It was brought to my attention that you could not create teams, I opened the team registration again. One of the team members should go to their Personal Status page, in Team section press Create and share the generated code with your team members so they can join. You can do that till the end of November. Without teams, only person who submitted will be able to see the feedback.
Cluster. During cluster part of the tutorial, some of you came across port 22: Connection timed out problem. Try downloading our university VPN (https://serviceportal.hiz-saarland.de/csp) and access cluster with VPN connected or, if you work with Windows, you might need additional setups (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/install) and familiarise yourself with PowerShell. Unfortunately, I have been working with MacOS for almost a decade now and couldn't provide much help during the tutorial itself. Please feel free to come up to me next week if cluster is still unclear to you.
