Teaching
	Fall 2009 - Machine Learning, Teaching Assistant: Office hours: Monday 3-5 & Wedneday 4-5 in room 343 (CS building). Some notables: (Sept 21) A note on matrix derivatives (from Sam Roweis) that could be helpful for HW 1. (Sept 14) Here is the diary file from todays tutorial, along with the segmentation and feature extraction code I demoed. The segmentation code will not run since it is missing a function (mb_findGreyValue) that does the EM step (probably a future hw problem). Also here is a link to the lightspeed toolbox and tips on accelerating MATLAB. (Sept 10) On 09/14 & 09/15 I will do a MATLAB tutorial during office hours. A good starting point for learning MATLAB is this tutorial page and documentation page. Fall 2009 - Large-scale Web-applications, Instuctor: I am running a small group independent study (3 credits, 400-level) on large-scale web-applications. This is a purely hand-on course. Course webpage. Spring 2006 - Computer Vision guest lecturer: I taught three lectures in the computer vision course (cmpsci 570/670). Slides & homework problems can be found here.
