• Teaching assistants: Arnaud Delaunoy, François Rozet, Yann Claes, Victor Dachet
• When: Spring 2023, Friday 8:30 AM
• Classroom: R3 / B28

Agenda

Homeworks

The goal of these two assignments is to get you familiar with the PyTorch library. You can find the installation instructions in the Homeworks folder. Each homework should be done in groups of 2 or 3 (the same as for the project) and must be submitted before 23:59 on the due date. Homeworks should be submitted on Gradescope.

• Homework 1: Tensor operations, autograd and nn. Due by March 6, 2023.
• Homework 2: Dataset, Dataloader, running on GPU, training a convolutional neural network. Due by March 20, 2023.

Homeworks are optional. If submitted, each homework will account for 5% of the final grade.

Project

See instructions in project.md.

Reading assignment

Your task is to read and summarize a major scientific paper in the field of deep learning. You are free to select one among the following three papers:

• Rombach et al, "High-Resolution Image Synthesis with Latent Diffusion Models", 2022. [Paper]
• Chen et al, "Evaluating Large Language Models Trained on Code", 2021 [Paper]
• Jumper et al, "Highly accurate protein structure prediction with AlphaFold", 2021. [Paper]

You should produce a report that summarizes the problem that is tackled by the paper and explains why it is challenging or important, from the perspective of the wider research context. The report should outline the main contributions and results with respect to the problem that is addressed. It should also include a critical discussion of the advantages and shortcomings of the contributions of the paper. Further guidelines for writing a good summary can be found here (Section 2, "The summary").

Constraints:

• You can work in groups of maximum 3 students (the same as for the project).
• You report must be written in English.
• 2 pages (excluding references, if any).
• Formatted using the LaTeX template template-report.tex.

Your report should be submitted by May 19 on Gradescope. This is a hard deadline.
