3 EC
Semester 1, period 2
5314ITPF3Y
This course is designed to provide students with the background in programming that is necessary to follow other more advanced master-level courses in areas such as linguistics, natural language processing, machine learning, etc. The goal is to make students that have had no prior exposure to programming feel comfortable with the basic concepts.
In this course, the students will be learning Python, a language that is now widely used in many fields. Combining their Python skills with the knowledge acquired during Basic Probability: Theory, the students will also implement several basic machine learning algorithms during the second half of the course.

0.2 (20%) Self-study notebooks | |
0.4 (40%) Laptop assignments |
Your grade will be computed as follows: 20% for the self-study notebooks, 40% for the programming assignments, 40% for the final exam.
To pass the course, this final grade has to be >= 5.5 and the grade for the final need to be >= 4.5.
The exam is a digital open book exam and students are expected to bring their own computer (if this is not possible, the student needs to contact the course coordinator at least 2 weeks before the exam and we can provide a computer). The exam is written as a jupyter notebook, which is the same format used for all the weekly and programming assignments. Students may use any resources, as long they do not use any tool to communicate with each other.
For the programming assignments, there is a penalty of 25% per day for late hand-ins, with a maximum cut-off of 2 days. This penalty may be waived in case of sickness, but an email from the studieadviseur is needed.
