Assignments

The assignments for this course include problem sets, a paper presentation, and final project. Below are links to three examples of the problem sets.
Problem Sets

Problem Set 1: Color image processing (PDF)
Problem Set 3: Decision theory (PDF)
Problem Set 6: Clustering (PDF)

Paper Presentation

The paper topic is chosen from the readings, and with the aproval of the professor or TA. The paper is summarized and presented to the class for discussion. This is designed to teach future scientists how to critically read literature. The format is that of a journal club, in which participants read, summarize and present findings to a group.

Final Project

Students design a computer program known as a classifier, which can separate items or images into discreet groups.
