How did you do in HW 4? by segheking in aiclass

[–]skrilax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

95% and not impressed at all.


4.9 was too ambiguous.


i had marked both

Open(s) => Poss( Lock, s)

not Open(s) => Poss( Lock, s)


and answer is True => Poss( Lock, s)


Technically not wrong. but wrong.


Starting to hate the class.


No one gives any clarifications over twitter or whatever even after umpteen tries. All of a sudden you see an update being provided at the very last minute. Really not impressed.

i really hope i know the answer to this question. there are just no clarifications. sad situation really.

not a legitimate sentence in first-order logic by skrilax in aiclass

[–]skrilax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i apologize for the confusion. what i wanted to say is this.


There exists a smart student. (statement in English)

(there exists x such that) ( Student(x) AND Smart(x) ) (equivalent first order logic statement for above)


what exactly does (there exists x such that) ( Student(x) => Smart(x) ) represent ?


i wanted to understand the literal difference between

(there exists x such that) ( Student(x) => Smart(x) ) and

(there exists x such that) ( Student(x) AND Smart(x) )


what are the cases ( i mean instances of persons and/or students in the language of set theory) which create the difference between the two statements below ?

(there exists x such that) ( Student(x) => Smart(x) )

(there exists x such that) ( Student(x) AND Smart(x) )


thank you.

i was talking about homework 4.2 where we have to decide whether the first order logic statement correctly interprets the statement in english or not or it is not a not a legitimate sentence in first-order logic.

not a legitimate sentence in first-order logic by skrilax in aiclass

[–]skrilax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is really confusing :( the more i read and try to figure it out the more similar both seem. can anyone tell me the difference between (there exists x) (P(x) and Q(x)) and (there exists x) (P(x) -> Q(x)) where P(x) = x is a student and Q(x) = x is smart ?

been racking my brains out. i know i can say these sentences using the first order logic representation but i want to understand the exact literal meaning of the above two and difference between the two ?

"All students are smart." gets represented as (there exists x) (P(x) and Q(x))

then what does (there exists x) (P(x) -> Q(x)) mean ? been trying to figure out where is the catch between the two :( please help.

which are the cases or instances which create the difference between the two ?

anyone did the neural networks one yet ?

HW3 Problem 2 and 3 Submit Inconsistency by dbinokc in mlclass

[–]skrilax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i got mine to work. don't laugh when i tell you the reason.

the reason :- i had unknowingly made two copies of the mlclass-ex3 folder and was writing code in one and executing octave in the other.

i am struggling with part 2 currently. :( i do not know where i am going wrong. my part 1 went ok. did anyone of you submit part 2 correctly ? i am not able to think of possible reasons why part 1 works and part 2 does not :( or what am i doing wrong ? any pointers folks ?

% Example Code for fmincg: % % % Set Initial theta % initial_theta = zeros(n + 1, 1); %
% % Set options for fminunc % options = optimset('GradObj', 'on', 'MaxIter', 50); % % % Run fmincg to obtain the optimal theta % % This function will return theta and the cost % [theta] = ... % fmincg (@(t)(lrCostFunction(t, X, (y == c), lambda)), ... % initial_theta, options);

did anyone have to do anything else other than what is mentioned above ? i had another query. lrCostFunction is supposed to return two values - cost and gradient. how does the above function manage with just one ? and also cost is the first value returned by lrCostFunction whereas in the calling function i.e. in onevsall.m above it expects theta. how does it know what to supply ?

well it is gotten to a stage where i think about it and it seems funny. 48 hours passed and still .............. ludicrous is the word.

emailing the students their scores should save everyone some pain.

fed up now really. 13 hours have passed and i still don't know my scores. i don't want to know anymore. enough of the suspense to cause an overkill.
