Block 2 - Numerical algorithms for clustering

This block consists of four lectures and one homework set (see homework page).

There are also office hours where you can ask questions about the homework and other things in the course.

Between lectures you should work on your own with the material shown in the asynchronous learning sections:

  • Video quizzes. These are mandatory.
  • Optional, but recommended, video material to watch for deeper understanding.
  • Second homework set. Work on this during the whole block. The deadline is 17/2.
