Homework

Unfortunately, homework is essential part of this lecture. Each weak one exercise sheet will be uploaded to this site and briefly discussed in the friday lecture. Deadline is Friday 2 p.m. of the following week. Right after that the exercises will be discussed in our online session. As we would like to have the exercises presented by one of the students, please prepare yourselves. You should be able to film your paper from the top while writing and explaining. Have a look at this hack suggested by fellows of the FU. You can either log in from your smartphone to our online meeting as a second user, so we can still see you via your webcam. Or, if you prefer, use only your smartphone. In that case you will definitely need a headset.

There will also be programming exercises every second week, for which you will have two weeks to work on. This will be stated explicitely in the exercise. Programming exercises should be implemented in Matlab/Octave. The exemplary implementation of the Coordinate Descent Algorithm can be downloaded here: Coordinate Descent Algorithm.

In order to successfully pass the lecture, you have to collect 50% of the homework points in both the first and the second half of the course. All exercises should be sent to both Dr. Martin Weiser and Fabian Danecker via E-Mail. A scan or photo of a handwritten solution (of satisfying quality) is sufficient. You don’t need to write it down in Latex.

Whenever you get stuck on an exercise, ask for help in our Discord-Chatroom and also try to help your fellow students when they are facing problems.
