Obligatory assignment 1 is now online

The first obligatory assignment is now online, on the Git repository. It deals with building a simple neural document classifier using bags-of-words as features.

The assignment is due February 16, but feel free to start working on it. We have already covered linear classifiers in the last lecture, and will cover training feed-forward neural networks in the next one.

We will provide extensive practice in building neural classifiers with PyTorch at the group sessions.
