Friday 12/9: What is Watson?
On Friday 12/9 the Northeastern Distinguished Speaker Series will host
Michael Peronne, an IBM manager working on multicore computing, who
will be talking about the Watson project, which you probably know as
the computer program that beat the Jeopardy! champs. The event is
12/9 10-11am in 90 Snell Library. Should be interesting!
Here is the abstract:
The TV quiz show Jeopardy! is famous for giving contestants answers to
which they must supply the correct questions. Contestants must be
fast, with an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the world and the
ability to figure out clues that are vague, involve double meanings,
and frequently rely on puns. Early this year, Jeopardy! aired a match
involving the two all-time most successful Jeopardy! contestants and
Watson, an artificial intelligence system designed by IBM. Watson won
the Jeopardy! match by a wide margin. In doing so, it brought the
leading edge of computer technology a little closer to human
abilities. This presentation will describe the supercomputer
implementation of Watson used for the Jeopardy! match and the
challenges that had to be overcome to create a computer capable of
accurately answering open-ended, natural-language questions in real
time—typically in under 3 seconds.

Homework server outage
The homework server appears to be down.
So we're extending the deadline to tomorrow (Tuesday) 7:00 pm.
Friday, October 28th, 2011
More on new partners
You aren't required to send in mail with a partner
request; it's completely optional.
If you don't send in a request by the Sunday noon deadline, no problem:
we'll just assign you a random partner.
Friday, October 28th, 2011
Lose your cell phone?
Someone left a Samsung phone with a slide-out keypad in class.
The phone is in the CCS main office, on the second floor of WVH.
P.S.: Your mother called. We told her you were doing well with
basic templates, but could maybe work a little harder on recursive
function definitions.
New partners
New partners will be assigned for the homework set that commences
on this coming Monday, and is due in 11/7.
If you would like to choose a partner,
you have until noon on Sunday 10/30 to email Prof. Razzaq (user lrazzaq,
at host ccs.neu.edu) with your partner choice.
You may choose a partner with whom you've already worked.

Here's the snake code... almost completed:
everything is done except determing when the snake dies (self-collision
and wall collision). Feel free to complete, extend, do what you like.
(For example, you could add the ability to pause the game, as we discussed
in class.)

In even more detail:
There will be no Honor's section lab tonight.

between class and the exam.
The current homework assignment has been moved back to
Tuesday night.
You may bring as much paper as you like to the test: it is
open book, open notes. You may not use a computer or other
digital device.

Lab quiz retakes
Here's the lab-quiz policy again: If you fail a lab quiz,
you will automatically receive a zero on your next homework.
However, you have one week after each lab quiz (till the following
Monday night) to retake the lab quiz. You must see a TA to retake a
lab quiz.
Since many students have been unaware of
the above policy, we are giving everyone one week
(till Wednesday, Oct 19th) to make up lab quizzes 1 through 4.
For lab quiz 5, the regular policy applies, i.e., you have till Monday
night (Oct 17th) to retake it.
Monday, October 10th, 2011

Minsky on "Why the next language you learn should be functional"
Yaron Minsky of Jane Street has
an interesting
article in the recent edition of ACM Queue that argues why the
next language you learn should be functional. Functional programming
is the paradigm we are learning in Fundies, and BSL is a functional
language closely related to OCaml, which is what Yaron writes about
and uses at Jane Street.
Yaron is a frequent guest at CCIS and has been known to give talks in
the nuACM seminar series, so keep
your eyes peeled for him around campus.

(Early) October partners
We have decided to assign random partners for the early part of
October and open up requests for the latter part of October. Below
are the partners for homeworks 5 and 6 (this includes Honors). You
can find email addresses in earlier blog posts.
If you have a particular partner in mind to work with after assignment
6, please email Prof. Razzaq, lrazzaq
at ccs.neu.edu, and only Prof. Razzaq. Requests
sent to Prof. Ahmed, Shivers, and Van Horn, or TAs, or tutors, are all
likely to fall on deaf ears.
Please have partner requests sent to Prof. Razzaq by October 15. If
you don't send a request we will just assign you a partner randomly.

Retrieving your grades over the net
The web page
that explains how to retrieve your homework grades over the web had a
broken link. (The port number is 7979, not 9448.)
The correct link is
https://cs2500.ccs.neu.edu:7979/.
(And we've fixed the broken link.)
Lost watch
Someone left a watch in the lab on Tuesday.
The watch has been left in the main office on the second floor of WVH.

Email addresses for students
Students are having trouble digging up the email addresses
for their September homework partners. Here are some tips.
First, all CS students should have CCIS accounts. If you
are logged into a CCIS Unix system, you can use the "finger"
program to find out the account name for a given person; if
you don't know how to enter a command into a Unix system,
any tutor or TA can help you.
The names and email addresses of all the students in Prof. Shivers'
section of the class are listed below. We'll post the email address
for the students in Profs. Ahmed's and Van Horn's classes as soon
as they are able to retrieve them from Japan. Note that the following
addresses are all on the hostname "husky.neu.edu." (I have avoided
posting complete email addresses to try to keep spammers from harvesting
the addresses from this web page.)

Handing in homework 2
As we discussed in class, you will hand in homework 2 in hardcopy.
We'll shift to electronic handin for the following homework.
We've modified the assignment web page to reflect this change.
Friday, September 16th, 2011
Partners start on homework 3
Students should do homework 2 individually—we'll assign
homework partners starting on homework 3.

Advice on email
Since your professors get a stupefying amount of email on a daily
basis, mail you send has a certain risk of getting lost in the traffic.
Thus the following advice: if you send an email message to a professor,
be sure and put either "2500" or "Fundies" in the subject line—that
way, your information-overloaded profs can search for your message and
have a hope of finding it.
Monday, September 5th, 2011
Welcome
Welcome to the CS 2500 blog.
You should check this blog on a daily basis, as we will use it
to publish information to the class that needs to be disseminated
in a timely way. For example, if we make a mistake on a homework
assignment, or decide to issue an extension on a homework due date,
you'd probably want to know about it immediately—and here is
where we'll post the news.
