We have started receiving email inquiries regarding exam marking, course performance and special considerations right after the exam. After replying to a few, I have decided to summarize the rest of the inquiries here (and will not reply individually) so that we can focus on marking the exam and reconsidering some of your projects:
Your project result has been sent to your UNSW email.
Please note that email inquiries about marks (e.g., why you received low marks even if you passed the sanity test) are likely to receive slow or no responses during this busy time of the term.
The same marking tests, developed based on the provided specifications, are used across all submissions. If you request us to consider different marking criteria for your particular situation, we would have to decline as that would be unfair to other students.
As mentioned in the last lecture, your project will be manually inspected, and results may be scaled up at our discretion if you perform well in the exam but not in the project.
*You can check the actual marking tests by running ~cs6714/reuters/marking on a CSE Linux machine, as previously posted.
FYI, the cohort performance of the project is as follows:
1st Qu.: 6.140 Median : 7.930 Mean : 7.773 3rd Qu.: 9.485 Max. :11.000 17% of submissions achieved 10-11 out of 10
As mentioned in the last live lecture, we are finalizing the project marks (almost there) and running the tests a few times for cross validation. Your marking result shall then be emailed to you in 2-3 days. Once it's done, I will post another Notice here.
Meanwhile, if you like, you can check and run the marking testcases by:
1) log in to a CSE linux machine and go to the folder containing your index.py and search.py
2) run ~cs6714/reuters/marking
In theory, the results returned from this script that you run should be consistent with the marking result that you will receive.
Please note that the location of Tuesday consultation has been changed to Quad G027.
The Friday consultation location remains unchanged.
You can check the timetable for details.
For your information, the faculty has informed us that the lab supp exam of COMP6714 will be held on Tuesday Jan 21, 2025 instead of O-week, T1, 2025. I will also mention this in the lecture today.
Please be reminded that the live lecture tomorrow will be in-person and it's at the Physics Theatre . We will review the course as well as the project; and discuss the final exam details (e.g., how to prepare, etc).
Please note that consultations will also be run for the next 2 weeks until the end of Week 12 (in case you have questions when reviewing the course materials to prepare for the exam).
Please be reminded that the live lecture from this week to week 9 (i.e., tomorrow 4:05-5:55pm) will be live online (not in person) via Blackboard Collaborate (please login to Moodle, click "Join the online live session" and then click "Course Room" during the lecture time). It will be recorded and put together with the other live lecture recordings afterwards.
You can find your assignment raw & breakdown marks (without any applicable late penalty) on Moodle. Ask me tomorrow at the online lecture if you have problems to locate them.
If you answered some of the questions wrong, please try to work them out again (since the final exam will have questions of a similar style but cover more topics). If you still have questions, please come to one of the consultations.
There was a mistake in the bonus (spelling correction) example in the project spec and it has now been revised.
Please note that the location of Tuesday consultation has been changed to OMB 151 (Old Main Building room 151).
You can check the timetable for details.
The programming project spec is available now. The project is due on Tuesday 5th November 5:00pm (The Tuesday of Week 9).
I will discuss the spec further and provide some tips to start in the live lecture tomorrow.
Apologies for the late notice, but I am not feeling well and will have to cancel today's lecture.
As discussed in the live lecture today, the non-programming assignment (worth 10% of the course) is available on Moodle under the section Assignment (you may need to click the down arrow to open the collapsible section to see it).
It is due on Tuesday, 8 October 2024 5:00pm .
Please post on Ed or attend any consultations , if you have questions.
Consultations start next week (please check the timetable & location ). Please come by if you have any questions.
Welcome to COMP6714 Information Retrieval.
Please read through the Course Outline to ensure you have an overview of how the course will be run this term, as well as expectations for assessment tasks and outcomes.
Lectures will be delivered online via live lectures on Blackboard Collaborate and recorded video lectures. Both are accessible via the Moodle Course Page .
There are no tuts/labs but there will be drop-in consultations from week 3 to week 12, as per the class timetable (to be released soon).
We will be leveraging the Ed Platform for the class forum. You should be able to access the forum by now. If you have problems to access Ed 3 days after your course enrolment (e.g., late enrolment), please email cs6714@cse.unsw.edu.au
The first live lecture will be on Wed 11th Sept 4:05pm-5:55pm in Physics Theatre , hope to see you there!
