Practices

We will use Python with jupyter notebooks in the practice sessions. You can find a nice tutorial here:

http://cs231n.github.io/python-numpy-tutorial/

Setup the environment
The home works will use jupyter notebooks and to be able to open and interact with them locally you need to follow these steps:

  • First install conda
  • Create the environment:
    • Open conda terminal (only for windows users)
    • conda create -n Py3_ICNS python=3 matplotlib jupyter numpy pandas
    • Activate the environment
      • Windows: activate Py3_ICNS
      • Linux: source activate Py3_ICNS
    • Go to homework directory in terminal
    • Execute jupyter notebook

Github repo:
You can find practical session exercises from last year and new tasks from this year in the following Github repository.
