3rd online workshop feedback notes

On-line organisation

• tutor's questions almost always stayed unanswered => use polling utilities instead (kahoot liecense)

Comp Environment

• no autocompletion!? (jupyterlab-lsp?)

macOS

• python is 3.8.0 => should be specified to patch version, e.g. 3.8.6
• jupyterlab is 2.2.6 => should be specified >=3.0.9

Script 03

• first exercise section, pt.2 => it isn't but should be lower for low k-folds (cf. C=1)
• last exercise section, pt 2. => should be not for mnist data, but for the previously used dataset

Script 04

• 2nd ex session, optional:
  • fix reference from "1.2" to "optional", or better just repeat the description
  • fix numbers (decimal places typos)

Script 05

• make pipelines more sensible:
  • always scale before PCA (as it's not scale-invariant)
  • last session, 2nd pipeline => use real-valued C for LinearSVC in search to argue about caching with random search

Script 06

• exercise 2: add missing "solution" tag to the cell with the solution

Script 08

• optimizers.rmsprop => optimizers.RMSprop
• missing solutions for hyperparam optim in solutions notebook
• solution to mnist history and dropout in the main notebook (missing "solution" cell tag? Tarun sent update via e-mail)
• code cell are not formatted (click formatting button for the whole notebook)
• use model_run.epoch instead of np.arange(1, num_epochs+1)
