Hi all,
Just a quick note to say that final grades have been submitted to the
Registrar and should soon be available at dceweb.harvard.edu.
All the best,
Brian

Hi all,
Congratulations on finishing CSCI S-80 — it's been wonderful having you all
in the class this summer, so glad you joined us! And a big thanks to Doug,
Barbara, Ben, Connor, Moshe, and Tom for making the summer possible.
We'll follow up in the coming days with information about final
grades. Have a wonderful break in the meantime, and do keep in touch!
All the best,
Brian
Hi all,
Also want to chime in with a quick note regarding the late policy
<https://cs50.harvard.edu/summer/ai/2020/syllabus/#late-policy>,
specifically as it applies to Quiz 6 and Project 6.
Because of our deadline to turn around grades to the Summer School, and the
need for the staff to grade assignments before that deadline of course, we
cannot accept any submission for either the quiz or the project that comes
in after *Sun 8/9 at 11:59am ET *(just before noon), rather than being able
to consider the full 10,000 minutes at the usual 0.01% deduction per
minute. Therefore, any submission that comes in after that time will need
be considered a zero, I'm afraid, so do plan accordingly!
Best,
Doug

Hi all,
Our final lecture, *Lecture 6: Language
<https://cs50.harvard.edu/summer/ai/2020/lectures/6/>*, is now available on
the course website. In this last unit of the course, we start to explore
how AI can process and derive some understanding from human language. We'll
explore strategies that AI can use for understanding sentence structure,
classifying text, retrieving and extracting information out of documents,
representing words numerically, and more.
For the first part of this week's project, you'll build a context-free
grammar for parsing sentences and extracting topics from those sentences.
In the second part, you'll build a simple automated question answering
system that can search a corpus of documents for answers to questions.
A few other important announcements for this week:
- Quiz 6 <https://cs50.harvard.edu/summer/ai/2020/quizzes/6/> is now
available and is due by 11:59pm ET on Wed 8/5. As a reminder, each quiz is
open-book: you may use any and all non-human resources during a quiz, but
the only humans to whom you may turn for help or from whom you may receive
help are the course’s heads.
- Project 6 <https://cs50.harvard.edu/summer/ai/2020/projects/6/> is now
available and is due by 11:59pm ET on *Fri 8/7*. (Note that, since the
Summer School term ends after this week, the deadline is Friday rather than
the usual Sunday.)
- Our final *sections
<https://cs50.harvard.edu/summer/ai/2020/sections/> *will be this
week, and will be an opportunity to explore natural language processing
more, see additional examples of lecture material, and ask questions about
this week's concepts. You're encouraged to attend if you can!
As always, feel free to reach out to me or any of the staff with any
questions!
All the best,
Brian
Hi all,
Lecture 5: Neural Networks
<https://cs50.harvard.edu/summer/ai/2020/lectures/5/> is now available on
the course website. In the penultimate unit of the course, we continue our
exploration into machine learning with a look at neural networks, one of
the most popular and versatile tools in the modern machine learning
toolkit, inspired by the human brain. We'll look at a variety of different
neural network architectures — including deep networks, convolutional
networks, and recurrent networks — and explore how to build and train
neural networks in Python.
In this project, you'll build a neural network to classify real-world
images of traffic signs. You also have the option of alternatively
completing an *Exploratory Project*
<https://cs50.harvard.edu/summer/ai/2020/projects/5/#exploratory-project>
if you'd like to apply neural networks to a task of your own choosing.
A few other important announcements for this week:
- Quiz 5 <https://cs50.harvard.edu/summer/ai/2020/quizzes/5/> is now
available and is due by 11:59pm ET on Wed 7/29. As a reminder, each quiz is
open-book: you may use any and all non-human resources during a quiz, but
the only humans to whom you may turn for help or from whom you may receive
help are the course’s heads.
- Project 5 <https://cs50.harvard.edu/summer/ai/2020/projects/5/> is now
available and is due by 11:59pm ET on Sun 8/2.
- Sections <https://cs50.harvard.edu/summer/ai/2020/sections/> this
week will be an opportunity to explore neural networks more, see additional
examples of lecture material, and ask questions about this week's concepts.
You're encouraged to attend if you can!
As always, feel free to reach out to me or any of the course staff with any
questions!
All the best,
Brian
