  • Viewing exam papers

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Thursday 07 July 2016, 07:52:43 AM.

    If you would like to view your exam paper, you can do it this afternoon (Thur 7 July) at 5-5:30pm.

    I will make another time available next Monday (11 July) for viewing the exam paper. I will announce the time once I know my schedule.


  • Marks for project, exam and overall

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Tuesday 28 June 2016, 09:37:40 PM.

    Project, exam and overall course marks are now available. You can check your marks by logging onto your CSE account and type the following command at the prompt:

    9334 classrun 16s1 -sturec

    The exam mark is in a field called examAdjusted which has been scaled. Your overall course mark is in a field called final. Note that the overall course mark, according to the course outline, is computed according to an harmonic mean formula, as follows:

    • Sum assignment1, assignment2 and project mark. The maximum is 35 and it is rescaled to be out of 100, call this C.
    • Let P be the exam mark out of 100.
    • Final mark for the course = 1/(0.65/P+0.35/C)

    If you wish to see your exam paper, you can email me. I will find a time next week so that you can drop in to see your exam paper without having to make an appointment.

  • Pre-exam consultations

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Thursday 09 June 2016, 07:43:33 AM.

    I'll be holding pre-exam consultations at the following times in 608/K17

  • Weeks 12 and 13

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Wednesday 25 May 2016, 09:30:38 AM, last modified Friday 27 May 2016, 08:14:51 AM.

    Corrections: The date for Week 13 Friday should be 3 June, not 10 June.

    In Week 12, we will finish all the lecture materials. This includes the unfinished lecture in Week 11 due to evacuation half-way through the lecture, Week 12's materials on optimisation and course review.

    In Week 13, Friday 10 June , Friday 3 June (note: In the earlier notice, I made a mistake with the date of Friday Week 13, it should be 3rd, not 10th) 11am-1pm, in EE G24 (note: not G25, which is the lecture theatre the we normally use, but the lecture room next to it) I will go through the revision problems on optimisation. On the same day, at 1:30-2:30 , I will have a consultation in 608/K17 Due to some last minute commitment that I need to attend on 3 June, the consultation will be from 1:10-2:00.

  • Lecture 11 (Evacuation)

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Friday 20 May 2016, 12:10:17 PM.

    Dear Students,

    There was an evacuation in the Electrical Engineering in the middle of the lecture this morning (around 11:40am). We are still not allowed to return to the building at this time. I will cancel the lecture for the rest of today. Further announcement will be made in the lectures in Week 13.


  • Optimisation

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Tuesday 10 May 2016, 10:55:33 PM.

    We will be looking at optimisation for Weeks 10-12. The lectures notes for Week 10 are now available. I've also included a number of AMPL files for demonstration during the lecture. AMPL is a programming language for specifying optimisation problems. The demo version of AMPL can be downloaded for free from:

    http://ampl.com/try-ampl/download-a-demo-version/

    You can choose between the command line or IDE version.

    The project has been released. You can view it under the "Course Work" menu on the course website. The due date is Sunday 22 May 2016. The project is on simulation, which is covered in Weeks 7 and 8. You should be able to start the project now based on your knowledge of what has been covered in Week 7.

  • Week 6

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Friday 08 April 2016, 01:12:58 PM.

    Please note that the lecturer is away in Week 6. There are no lectures and consultation during that week.

  • Assignment 2 / Week 4's lecture / Make-up lecture

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Thursday 24 March 2016, 10:42:48 AM.

    Assignment 2 has been released. You can find it under the "Course Work" menu on the left panel. Assignment 2 covers the lecture materials in Week 3 and Week 4.

    There are no lectures on Friday in Week 4 due to Easter public holiday. A make-up lecture will take place on Friday 1 April at 10am-1pm in EE G25. The make-up lecture will cover the materials in Week 4.

    Have a good Easter break!

  • Lecture notes without text blocking

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Saturday 19 March 2016, 10:36:44 AM.

    In the version of the lecture notes that you get before the lectures, I block some text in my lecture notes so that I can ask questions in the lecture. A "no text blocking" version of the lecture notes will be released after each lecture. You can find both versions under "Lectures".

  • Week 3's lecture notes

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Monday 14 March 2016, 10:38:15 AM.

    Week 3's lecture notes have been posted. Please note that pages 2 and 3 of the notes contain an exercise on probability that you should try to work on before the lecture.

  • Assignment 1

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Sunday 13 March 2016, 07:45:01 AM.

    Assignment 1 has been posted under "Course Work" menu on the course website. This assignment is based on the lecture materials in Week 2. Submission deadline is 11:59pm Monday 4 April 2016.

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Friday 04 March 2016, 02:51:26 PM.

    I've added a link under "Course Work" on the menu on the left for lecture recordings. Unfortunately, it seems that something went wrong with the recoding this morning and only voice was captured. I'll follow this up.

  • Welcome to COMP9334!

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Monday 29 February 2016, 07:44:05 PM, last modified Tuesday 01 March 2016, 04:23:23 PM.

    Welcome to the 16s1 edition of COMP9334!

    Please note that the course website is: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs9334/

    The lectures are on Fridays 10-1 in ElecEng G25. You should try to do the following before the lecture on Friday:

    • Read the course outline. The course summary in the course outline tells you what the course is about.
    • This course uses quite a bit of mathematics, especially probability. If you feel that your probability theory is a bit rusty, please revise it. Under "Lectures" on the course website, you will find a file under Week 1 called "Some exercises on probability". In that file, you will find a list of topics on probability that you are expected to know. There are a few exercises that you may wish to try before the lecture.
    • The notes for the first lecture is available on the course website.

    See you on Friday.
