There is an (un)official course channel on IRCnet: #beaver
Note: Do not run the algorithms on interactive servers such as melkki. Use the cluster instead (see using the cluster -tab).
The course is split into three 2-week challenges, where students solve a fun problem from the AI field. At the end of the course, there is a chance for additional 1 ECTS which will be rewarded for participating in the Linkki 24 Challenge. Check out the Linkki 24 Challenge and sign up!
Major Thanks to Joel Kaasinen, Antti Laaksonen, Mika Laitinen, Pekka Mikkola and Joel Pyykkö (and others!) for participating in planning and executing the challenges.
Kurssin suorittaminen
The course will be graded pass/fail. In order to pass, the students need to craft a solution that beats the reference solution provided by the instructor. Provided solutions must work in the CS department machines, and the source code must be returned under some open license (e.g. LGPL, Creative Commons, ...). After each challenge, the students need to write a a4 report, that describes the approach and lists the used references.
Send the reports by email to avihavai@cs.helsinki.fi
Group Work
Working as a team is allowed, collaboration is suggested, but everyone needs to return their own submissions. No direct copying from others.
Kirjallisuus ja materiaali
Material regarding the challenges will be posted here. In general, the students are expected to search and find information by themselves. Plagiarism without reference to the original source is not allowed (as usual). Direct copying of code -- without understanding what the code does -- is disallowed. We recommend that students use the internet and "usual books" like Cormen et al.
