Comp Sci 182 / Cog Sci 110 / Ling 109: The Neural Basis of Thought and Language

Old Announcements

John and Joseph will be running a review session in 310 Soda Hall at 5:00 on Sunday.
Assignment 9 is up, and it was last updated on Wednesday at 10:18 p.m. You have a week to finish it, and then until the 13th to get in a10 (or your project).
Your final paper (assignment 10) has been posted. Since assignment 9 won't be posted till Tuesday, make sure you start a10 now. The papers you need to read are very long.
Joseph has posted his class notes from the semester (to be updated periodically) under the notes sections.
Prof. Narayanan will hold a special tutorial on Bayes Nets on Tuesday evening from 6:00 to 7:00 in 306 Soda. All are encouraged to attend.
The metaphor lectures (Tuesday of last week) have been posted.
Assignment 7 is posted.
Hey non-comp people! You may be having trouble with the java path for the verb-learn program. Here's a workaround
Here're a few hints on the computational version of a6.
The latest slides from section and lecture have been posted.
The next assignment (6) has been posted, in both its computational and non-computational forms. It's not due until April 3rd, but it would be a big mistake not to start early.
The midterms will be handed back in section on the ides of March, in your discussion sections.
a5 has been posted. It's due on Tuesday.
All the relevant lectures are now posted (and re-numbered). Note that lecture06 ("Brain imagining") is new. Most of the assignment solutions have also been posted.
The exam is on Tuesday, so come to class on time! Joseph's section slides have also been posted.
Johno and Joe will hold a review session for the midterm at 6:00 p.m. in 310 Soda this Monday, March 6th.
Problem 3 in a4 was corrected on Sunday. In the new version, the Pulvermuller experiments are referenced. Make sure you are using the latest version (use your brower's refresh button in case you're using a cached version of the uncorrected one).
Prof. Narayanan won't have office hours on Tuesday (2/28), but he'll be in on Thursday 11-12 and Monday 11-12.
Assignment 4 is up. It's due on Friday.
The code in TesterPart2 has been revised as of noon on 2/17. If you're doing the computational assignment, please use the new one (accessible from the old link) instead of the old one.
There were a couple of sign errors in the longer backprop handout, now corrected. (Thanks, Johno and Jeff.)
Assingment 3 is now up, in both it's computational and non-computational forms. The first part of the computational version is due this Wednesday (2/15) and the second part the following Wednesday (2/22). We strongly advise you to get started early on it, since it's been known to take quite awhile.
Tlearn access on pulsar, etc. has been restored.
The backprop handout has been posted in the Notes
Joseph's office hours are now being held in 2 Evans (moved from 65 Evans).
Some of the CS servers have been experiencing problems since about 8:00 pm on Tuesday 2/7, resulting in tlearn's no longer being accessible from pulsar, quasar, star, et al. Therefore, if you're still working on a2 or you're doing the non-computational version of a3 (it also involves tlearn), log into cory.eecs.berkeley.edu.
There's a quiz in class on Tuesday.
a2 has been posted. It's due on Monday.
The second assignment is due on Monday at midnight.
