CS 281. Homework 1. Machine Bias

Setting the environment

Follow the steps below to install anaconda and create the environment for running the starter code.

1. Download anaconda from https://www.anaconda.com/ and install
2. Create a new environment that has all the dependencies installed, e.g., if you decide to name this new environment cs281-hw1, run the command

conda create -n cs281-hw1 python=3.8 -y
conda activate cs281-hw1
cd hw1_public
pip install -r requirements.txt  # Run this from root of the repo.

Starter Code

All starter code related to the first homework is in hw1.ipynb. Your code should directly go in this file.

You should include your responses to the free-form questions in the jupyter notebook, within a markdown cell.

To launch the notebook, simply run

conda activate cs281-hw1
cd hw1_public
jupyter notebook hw1.ipynb
