Course Description

Lectures:
24 lectures. Wednesdays at noon; Fridays at 11:00.
Examples classes:
There are five one-hour examples classes for this course. These occur on week B Tuesday at 3 pm and week B Thursdays at 10 am in room LF17.
Labs:
There are five two-hour lab sessions. These occur on week A Tuesdays from 3-5 in LF31 (Sun Lab). There are three lab exercises for this course. Exercise 1 is on Bayesian classification; this lasts for two lab sessions. Exercise 2 is on multi-layer perceptron neural networks; it lasts for two lab sessions. Exercise 3 is on genetic algorithms; it lasts for a single session. The labs use the Matlab software on Sun workstations - a tutorial for this package will be handed out during lectures.

The labs will be marked in the lab sessions, that is you will show me or a demonstrator your results. In addition, send the following to the lab archive:

Exercise 1:
evaluate.m -- the Matlab code which computes the feature which is used to classify the images
Exercise 2:
script.m -- a matlab script containing the procedure which gave you the best generalization performance.
Exercise 3:
fitness.m -- the fitness function of the genetic algorithm as a matlab function.
