Assignment 8 bug reported + deadline extended till 16th Sept.
Dear friends,
Assignment 8 had a bug in question 4 and we found it after many of you reported. However due to some ugly technical issues, we could not fix the bug. So we included a couple of lines in the question body describing what the correct question should look like.
I will describe the correction here too.
The data-set table in the question had the following headers: Data #, Cluster assignment after iteration 1, Cluster assignment after iteration 2
The correct headers should have been: Data #, x, y
We have also extended the submission deadline by two days as many of you were stuck at this problem and also we had taken down the assignment yesterday for making the correction.
Best of luck!
