Dear students,

For the teams that have two members we have placed the API keys (for submission to the evaluation system) and cluster credentials (for computation jobs) on their personal status page.

If you do not already have a teammate we suggest forming a team before the deadline 29.04. After forming the teams you will get the aforementioned credentials to start working on the assignment 1 (due: 06.05). In order to have enough time to work on your solutions and enter your results on the leaderboard we recommend forming the teams as soon as possible. If you form a team after this news, please let the tutors know via email such that you can get access as soon as possible.

We will have our first tutorial on Wednesday 22.04 where we discuss how to set up the cluster and submit your solutions to the leaderboard. 

Best of luck,

TML team

Dear Everyone,

The signup for the team pairing has opened. You have until the submission of the first assignment to sign up there with a partner. As noted during the intro lecture: single-participant submissions cannot be considered for grading. I made a thread in the "Off-Topic" section of a forum where you can look for assignment partners if you have not found one, yet.

See you next week,

Franziska and Adam
