Final Obligatory Assignment; No Laboratory this Week

We have just published the final assignment for this course, which has its submission deadline on Friday, November 16.  This assignment builds on a fairly popular standard task and data set, providing more structural complexity than we have encountered so far.  The first part of the assignment is intended to explore the data and enable you to navigate its structure comfortably; please start working on this part of the assignment already this week!  To make available time for this preparatory work, all of us traveled today to the EMNLP 2018 conference, which means there will be no laboratory session this Thursday.

Next Tuesday, we will related the theory of gated recurrent neural networks to various practical language processing tasks, including the one of the final assignment.
