The table below shows which assignment and with which method you are supposed to perform;

Last digit of the student number	Assigment	Method
0	fruit shape classification	k-NN
1	fruit shape classification	LVQ
2	fruit shape classification	Bayesian
3	fruit shape classification	MLP
4	texture classification	k-NN
5	texture classification	LVQ
6	texture classification	Bayesian
7	texture classification	MLP
8	handwritten digit classification	k-NN
9	handwritten digit classification	LVQ
No student number	handwritten digit classification	Choose either k-NN or LVQ

Or, the same in the old written form;

If the last digit of your student number is less than four, your assignment is the fruit shape classification problem. Those whose last digit is 0, 1, 2, or 3, implement method 1 (k-NN), 2 (LVQ), 3 (Bayesian), or 4 (MLP), respectively.

If the last digit of your student number is less than eight but higher than three, your assignment is the texture classification problem. Those whose last digit is 4, 5, 6, or 7, implement method 1 (k-NN), 2 (LVQ), 3 (Bayesian, or 4 (MLP), respectively.

Otherwise, your assignment is the handwritten digit classification problem. Those whose last digit is 8 or 9, implement method 1 (k-NN) or 2 (LVQ), respectively. If you don't have a student number, select the method you prefer more.

So, if the last digit of your student number is 0, your assignment is fruit shape classification with the method 1 (k-NN), if the last digit is 1, fruit shape classification with the method 2 (LVQ) and so on.

The assignment is intended to be done with matlab. If you are not familiar with the software, we recommed you visit the Computing centre pages on matlab for some links to pages with information on matlab. Matlab also features quite good documentatio "built-in", which can be accessed through the 'help' command. You can use 'help ' to get help on a specific command, or perhaps the 'helpwin' graphical interface to browse the help-pages.

The deadline for returning the assignments is 31.1.2003. The experiments will take some time so start working before the last week end. The deadline is the same for everyone taking the course this semester, regardless of the time you intend to take the exam.

The assignment should be returned to the course assistant Matti Aksela (matti.aksela@hut.fi) either during the exercises or directly to room B330 (Computer Science building). If the assistant is not there, you can leave your report in the assignment return mailbox for the CIS courses (Tik-61) that has this courses code written on it (located near the elevators).

When you return your assignment, please include the following information on the cover page: Course code, assignment title, method used, your name and your e-mail address. When I have checked your assignment, I will send you a brief e-mail on the result and, if neccessary, what you should fix in it.
