INRIA’s role in my career so far…

CVML Summer School 2012 at Grenoble: I started my PhD thesis by building up on the concepts and codes of the practical exercises of the summer school.

After 10 years…

ML in Python with scikit-learn 2022: I am going to start teaching ML to my students in a more practical manner.

Thank you so much INRIA.

Following are some suggestions.

  1. A similar course on deep learning will be amazing
  2. Keep changing the exercise questions from time to time as online solutions for such courses are made within no time that spoils all the interest of the future students.
  3. There was a slight window of introduction to time-series problems, however, including a module will make the course even more interesting.
  4. Throughout the course, pre-compiled datasets were used. In my opinion, it will be beneficial to include a lesson or two on how to generate datasets of real world problems such as images, voices, speech, or other sensors etc. How to pre-process them, compile them, what to do with missing values etc.
  5. Finally, if you intend to offer the course with a price tag in future, please keep the fee low (below 50 Euros for instance) or perhaps offer it free of cost for people from academia; students, teachers, and researchers.

Thanks for your suggestions and for sharing your experience with us.

For the moment we are not planning to increase the contents but possibly to iterate over what is already there. We did have some examples with missing values but were suppressed to keep the contents simple.
Regarding your last point the idea is to keep the course for free for everybody. The user’s win is our win :wink:

Thanks.

Lastly, I observed an “anomaly” in the scoring, I guess.

There is a “0/0”, any reason?

#4

The reason is that the question is probably wrong (or maybe the answer) and we disable it from the grading. It appears in this manner.

I have checked again, there are FIVE questions in that quiz and not Six. May this is the reason.

Well, I have also started to attend another course on FUN-MOOC from your colleagues at INRIA, they also allow scores for partially correct answers, like the following. Perhaps you would be interested for such marking in the next version of this MOOC .

I think it is worth noticing that in such case you only seem to have one possible submission, whereas we allow for two attempts. Both solutions are friendly with the students, though the drawback of the first of them is that people who would choose all the options (in particular the correct answer) would get partial credit without effort, which would rise the score baseline for all the students.

Good one, being a teacher, I surely can understand that you think like a teacher.

However, here I am student and hence I think like a student… i.e. to get a few more point :wink:
