October 4, 2007: Assignment Due Dates. Assignment due dates have been posted below. There was some confusion about which assignment was due this week, since both Professor Li and Professor Keshav had lectured two weeks ago. Ming Li's assignment was to be due today, but due to this confusion, we will be accepting submissions until next week. Both Keshav's and Li's assignments are due at 4:30 on Thursday, October 11.
September 17, 2007: Welcome. Welcome to the Fall 2007 offering of CS 497. The Winter 2007 version of this site can be accessed here.
There will be a different presenter each week. Assignments are due in the pink drop box (3rd floor MC, by DC link) by 4:30 pm on the due date. Normally, the due date will be two weeks after the material is covered, on Thursdays.
