NYU PSYCH-GA 3405.004 / DS-GA 1016.003
This project is maintained by brendenlake
If you are using the university provided Jupyter instance (here)
rather than your own personal computer, the homeworks are stored in the folder class_materials. This folder will update every time you log in with any new homeworks or changes.
You can load the homework by clicking on class_materials/homeworks/homework-NeuralNet (or whatever the name is) in the top directory of your JupyterHub instance.
IMPORTANT: When you use notebooks on the NYU Jupyterhub you need to change the default kernel of the notebook. First open a notebook. Then selected “Kernel” from the menu bar. Then select “Change Kernel” and then select “Python [conda env:ccm]” from the list. Otherwise your python environment may not have the necessary packages to do the homework. In any case please always verify that the current notebook you are running says “Python [conda env:ccm]” in the upper right corner of the interface.
If you are running your own Jupyter instance use the following instructions to download the homeworks.
Open a terminal in Jupyter (Go to “new” in the upper right, then choose “terminal”).
For first retrieval, clone the repository using
git clone https://github.com/brendenlake/CCM-site.git
To update the repository, enter the repository folder using
cd CCM-site
and pull new commits using
git pull
To create a copy of a HW problem set to work on in the home folder (and prevent possible merge conflicts on future pulls), run
cd ~
cp -r PATH/TO/HW .
For example, for homework 1 you would type
cp -r CCM-site/homeworks/homework-NeuralNet .
(don’t forget trailing .)
The following python packages are installed on the NYU Jupyterhub and so if you want to create a similar setup please install the following using your preferred pacakge manager (anaconda, pip, etc..). The latest versions should be fine:
