Jan 23rd exam test results

Results.

The exam will proceed in the indicated order. You can assume about 12 people being through in one hour. Everybody with 6 or less points gets classified F automatically. The rest continues to the oral exam.

Summary

This course introduces statistical decision theory and surveys canonical and advanced classifiers such as perceptrons, AdaBoost, support vector machines, and neural nets.

Exam

Only students that receive all credits from the lab work and receive (“zápočet”) can be examined. The labs contribute 50% to your final evaluation. Any extra credits beyond 50% will be considered at the final evaluation and may improve your mark.
The exam consists of two parts: written test and oral exam.
The written test lasts 60-90 minutes and contributes 40% to the final evaluation.
The questions used in the test are available here (if one can solve these questions, one will likely do well on the exam)
Oral part starts approximately 2 hours after the end of the test (the interim time is used to correct the tests). It contributes to the final evaluation by 10%.
To get grade “A” for the course, “A” or “B” result of the final written exam is required.
Oral exam questions are available here.
