Week of May 3rd - 7th, 2021

Monday:

Working on CMU Unit 5.2 - finish problems from 5.2 by Tuesday morning

Please skim this paper before our video conference on Thursday.  It's by an Allied grad who's now an MD, talking about how they apply machine learning to medicine.  You don't have to read it in detail, but look it over enough to get the main idea. It's challenging, but if you spend some time on it, you could use it as one of the examples in your machine learning paper.
