Plans for week 47 and rest of semester

Dear all, first thx a million for heroic efforts with project 2 and for all the exciting contributions to project 3 last Friday. 
This week is our last week of lectures and lab. The lab tomorrow runs as usual, with both in person 8-18 and digital labs 8-10 and 14-16 and the topic is obviously project 3.
However, since the deadline for project 3 is December 17, we will offer both a digital (10-12) and in person labs 12-14 on Wednesday December 8 and December 15 (there are no activities next week but feel free to send us an email). 
We are also planning to have the feedback for project 2 ready by December 10 or 11. 

Else, the topics this week are, besides our lab sessions on Wednesday,

 
Thursday: Support Vector Machines, classification and regression. 
Friday: Support Vector Machines and Summary of Course

Reading recommendations:
 o Geron's chapter 5.
 o Hastie et al Chapter 12 (sections 12.1-12.3 are the most relevant ones)
 o Bishop chapter 7, with sections 7.1 and 7.2 as the essential ones
 o Lecture notes for week 47
