Obligatory assignment 1 is now online

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

The assignment is due March 3, but feel free to start working on it. We have already covered linear classifiers, feed-forward neural networks and word embeddings in the lectures.

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