= Python Programming for Machine Learning (PyML) = {{{#!wiki forisis Python Programming for Machine Learning (3 ECTS credits) is a course that can be taken as part of the following modules: * [[http://wiki.ml.tu-berlin.de/wiki/Main/SS23_KA|"Cognitive Algorithms"]] (summer and winter semesters) * [[http://wiki.ml.tu-berlin.de/wiki/Main/SS23_ML2|"Machine Learning 2"]] (summer semester) * [[https://wiki.ml.tu-berlin.de/wiki/Main/WS22_MaschinellesLernen1|"Machine Learning 1"]] (winter semester). '''In most cases, we do not recommend taking the course as a standalone'''. That is because the course is not a module (but part of a module), and most examination regulations only approve modules. However, there are exceptions, e.g., for some exchange students. Please carefully check your examination regulations in such a scenario. If we issue a certificate for PyML, you cannot use PyML as part of another module (like CA or ML). ''' You can contact us at pyml@ml.tu-berlin.de ''' You can choose between two (almost identical) blocks: == PyML A == || '''Course Period''' ||<-2> April 24th - May 19th 2023 ''(4 Weeks)''|| ||<|3> '''Weekly Sessions''' || '''Lecture 1''' || Thursdays, 16:15 - 17:45 s.t.

If you do not register on time, you cannot pass the course.''' * Homework assignments must be submitted every week. * Homework assignments must be completed '''by yourself '''. Group work is not allowed and will receive 0 points. * Homework is passed with 50/100 points or more. === Exam === * Participation in the exam requires successful completion of '''all homework'''. * The exam requires registration on ISIS. Registration via QISPOS is not necessary. * For the PyML exams, you are allowed to take '''one A4 sheet''' of paper with '''handwritten''' text on both sides into the exam. '''Printed text is not allowed.''' * You need to pass the PyML exam '''BEFORE''' taking the Cognitive Algorithms/ Machine Learning 2 exam to obtain the credits for this course. The PyML exams are usually well before the registration deadlines of the respective courses. Exception: if you choose the last exam on the '''25th of July''' and plan to take the first Cognitive Algorithms exam on the '''2nd of August''', which has its registration deadline on the '''26th of July''', and its withdrawal deadline on the '''31th of July''', we recommend to register for the CA exam '''as soon as possible''', and then '''withdraw''' from the registration in case you failed the PyML exam. * In case you fail the PyML exam, you can retry as many times as you like, however, you still need to pass the exam '''before''' taking the CA/ML-2 exam. Therefore, we recommend that you take the '''earliest''' PyML exam possible in order to prevent the completion of your module to be delayed until next semester/year. === Passing the course === * The course is passed if the exam is passed (grade 4.0 or better) and '''all homeworks''' are completed successfully. * The final course grade is determined by the exam only. The course grade is irrelevant for most students because it does not count for CA/ML. === Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) === * '''Where is the link for the class?''' Links for the online lectures and exercises will be announced on ISIS just before they start. * '''Is prior programming/Python knowledge necessary?''' Knowledge of elementary programming concepts (in Python or another language) will be helpful. Lack of such knowledge will significantly increase the time demand of the class. * '''Which exam is compatible with PyML A/B?''' All exams are compatible with PyML A or B. You can choose the exam that fits your time schedule best. * '''May I participate in the class during this semester and take part in the corresponding module in one of the following semesters ?''' Yes, just after you've passed the class, your results are also valid for the next semesters. * ''' I've already successfully passed all of the homework in the previous semester but failed/missed the exam. Should I resubmit them again? ''' No, you do not need to resubmit the homework. Please enroll in the ISIS course for the new semester and register for the exam on ISIS once possible (registration via the examination office is not possible/necessary). * '''Until when do I have to register at QISPOS? I do not have an ISIS account yet.''' You have to register for a corresponding module, either ML or CA, until the deadline. Usually it is six weeks before the first exam. * '''What are the Q&A/exercise sessions?''' You can ask questions regarding the lectures or the homework in these sessions. * '''I will not be able to attend a lecture. Is this a problem?''' All learning materials will be made accessible online. You only need to submit your homework before the deadline. Ask in the ISIS forum if you have questions regarding lecture content. }}} === Students from other universities === If you are not a student at TU and want to earn credit, you have to solicit [[https://www.tu.berlin/studierendensekretariat/themen-a-z/gast-und-nebenhoererschaft/|''Nebenhörerschaft'']]: * First fill the online [[https://www.static.tu.berlin/fileadmin/www/10002460/Bewerben_und_Einschreiben/Studierendenverwaltung/Antrag_auf_Nebenhoererschaft_englisch.pdf|''form'']] with the following details on the final page. || '''Course title and type''' || '''Program number''' || '''Number of course hours per week (SWS)''' || '''Lecturer''' || || Python Programming for Machine Learning (KU) || 0434 L 543 || 2 || (name of the trainer) || * Send the form to pyml@ml.tu-berlin.de for the one of the trainers to sign * Then send the signed form to Manuela Gadow (manuela.gadow at tu-berlin.de), who is authorized to sign on behalf of our dean. * After getting your signed form back send it together with your current matriculation letter ('Immatrikulationsbescheinigung') to the student registration office (nebenhoerer@studsek.tu-berlin.de). '''Please make sure to trigger the above process on time. You may need to go through some bureaucracy to attain ISIS (the university's web portal) access, which is necessary to submit the mandatory homework. '''
