Xiaoli, I have made you an observer for the class on Canvas. I recommend lectures 8 (non-i.i.d. data), 9 (structured data), and 16 (active learning). Your thoughts and ideas are most welcome! I plan to offer the class again next year and I am always interested in improvements. I think your special topics are definitely important and of interest to the students. You will be able to go into more depth since you are devoting more time to these topics! We can also coordinate for next year and maybe I would swap in some different topics for my class - there were more interesting topics than I could fit in one term! Liang, thanks also for sharing your content on structured prediction! Kiri

Hi Kiri, Thanks for the information! Can I have access to your class materials？is it on canvas? If so it would be great if I can be added as an observer. I would love to see what specifically has been discussed. My thought for this class is that we can make this truly a special topics in ml class introducing different modules/topics in different offerings. I should have talked with you sooner about this and get your input on what topics would be good to cover and avoid overlaps with your class.

Xiaoli,
Great idea for an addition to the AI courses!
You might also be interested in the section of AI 539 that I am just finishing now, "Machine Learning Challenges for the Real World", since perhaps you would attract some of the same students. You can see the list of topics and access the syllabus here: https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkiri....
I spent two classes on non-i.i.d. and structured data (with thanks to Rebecca for a great guest lecture!), but it's a much larger topic and I think it will be beneficial to students if you go into more depth. I also devoted one class to active learning, and students were definitely interested in this topic.
By the way, I noticed in the latest Faculty Senate Newsletter that there is a new requirement for syllabi:
---------- • The Student Bill of Rights is a new, required statement that must appear on syllabi beginning spring term 2022. This statement was approved by the Faculty Senate in December 2021. The text is: "Student Bill of Rights: OSU has twelve established student rights. They include due process in all university disciplinary processes, an equal opportunity to learn, and grading in accordance with the course syllabus: https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fasosu.oreg... ----------
I hope this is helpful! I will certainly advertise your class to my students today.

Hi all,
Want to bring to your awareness that I will be teaching a special topic class titled Machine learning II (AI 539). The vision is that this will develop into the second course of a two-course Machine Learning series .
I am attaching the syllabus for this term’s offering for your consideration.
Please feel free to send me an email if you have any question regarding the class.
