NPTEL: Introduction to Data Analytics - 5 marks for all

Dear Participant, 
Kindly note that we have given you +5 marks out of 100. These +5 marks don't belong to any particular assignment. Since there were a few issues with 1-2 questions, we decided to give it. These marks were already added to your results. You must have seen more marks in the final exam than the questions answered correctly. 

Regards,
Tarun Kumar


NPTEL: Introduction to Data Analytics - Issues resolved

Dear Participant,
As we mentioned in the earlier email that there was some issue with Assignment_5. We also asked the students if they had any other issue with the marking. We have following points to be shared with you:
1) Assignment 5: Q11- The correct option is changed from "c" to "b" and assignment is reevaluated.
2) Since we also received some emails saying marks imbalance issue with Assignment_1 for Q9. We have already given +5 marks to all the students to accommodate any potential error with the assignment marking.
3) As we have finalized the results, now we can go ahead with publishing the e-certificates. The process may take around 3 working days.
4) Once we publish all the e-certificates, we will start dispatching the hard copy certificates. 

Regards,
Tarun Kumar


NPTEL: Introduction to Data Analytics: What after IDA?

Dear Participant,
We are glad that you joined the course and we hope that you had a very good learning experience.
Congrats to all the people who have cleared the course, but there is a long way to go. So keep learning.
People who could not qualify, don't worry. This exam is not the only parameter to test your capabilities. Learn from your mistakes and improve on them. Failure is not forever, you just have to keep trying, better and better every time. :)
All the participants in the course were very cooperative. We had really interesting discussions on the forum. For answering your queries I revisited many topics and learned a lot. So I am thankful to you for that. We all should be thankful to the NPTEL team, which is working on the back-end. There is a small team, handling a very large number of courses. For any problem, any one of us used to ping them anytime of the day or night. Their prompt response has helped a lot. 

Many people on the forum have asked about what to do after the course- Introduction to Data Analytics?
I will try to answer this. :P
Since the field of Data Analytics is very vast and you have done only an introductory course, so there is a lot more to explore. Whatever topics you have studied in the course, each topic is a course in itself and it leads to a lot of opportunities in research and industry. So I will suggest you the following paths:

1) If you are a student/employee/... and will be at the same place for next year also:
Then you should definitely take benefit from other online courses as well. In every session, NPTEL offers many courses in this domain - Introduction to Machine Learning, Introduction to Reinforcement Learning, AI: Search methods for problem solving, Social Networks etc.
These courses will give you in-depth knowledge of a particular area that you can apply in your organization and will help the students with better placements :)
You should also keep participating in the online competitions such as Kaggle, keep reading blogs such as KDnuggets. This will enhance your problem-solving skills.

2) If you are a final year student:
If you follow (1), it will help you to get placed in better (or best) companies across the world. But there are a lot more opportunities if you plan to study further (Masters, PhD, Postdoc). There are many good institutions in India (IITs, IISc) and outside which are doing excellent work in the same area. By studying in these institutions your chances of joining better research labs or research organizations increase.

3) If you want to explore more before going deeper <or> if you are not able to find the right job for you:
Many IITs and IISc invite applications for the project positions in their labs. You should keep checking their lab web pages for the updates. I see many students complaining that they don't get the response when they write emails for internship/project. The probability of getting a reply is directly proportional to the seriousness/sensibility of your email. Recently I came to know that someone wrote to the IISc director asking about procedure to apply for the winter internship and he was thinking that why the director is not replying. You should write to the appropriate person from the lab (Prof/PhD/Masters). Your application must have your CV, what skills do you have in common with the lab etc.

I also encourage you to participate in the ML related events happening in the country. There are many active bodies (like IKDD) in the similar area. For the updates, you have to check the department/lab/prof webpages of IITs/IISc. Recently I met one of our course participant at an event in IISc. I hope that many of us will keep meeting.
 
Of course, all these views are my personal views. They may contradict with your opinions. Once again I thank all of you. Have a great learning.

Best Wishes,
Tarun Kumar


NPTEL: Introduction to Data Analytics- Issues with the marks calculation

Dear participant,
A gentle reminder for cross checking the marks you received. Kindly double check your assignment and final exam score. If there is any mismatch between the key_shared and marks_received then let us know by today evening (before 6 pm). After that we will start the process of generating certificates and hence won't be able to entertain such requests.
As of now, we have one update pending for the Assignment 5, question 11. The correct option is "b", but we checked it with "c".

Regards,
Tarun Kumar

NPTEL: Introduction to Data Analytics- Few announcements

Dear Participant,
All the weekly assignments for the course are over. There are the following two corrections in the final solution posted.

1) Q9 of assignment 1
Since we didn't put any restriction on the sign of data items. So if all the numbers are negative, then doubling the largest number (which is also a negative number) will reduce the mean. We didn't include this in any of the options. Option (b) was supposed to cover this possibility. So we will not consider this question and final evaluation will be done from the rest of the 9 questions.

2) Q12 of assignment 5
Since the given data has 3 classes, so we have to sum number the support vectors for the classifiers of all classes. So its solution should be (b) not (c). You can follow the explanation given on the following link.
https://onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in/noc17_mg24/forum?place=msg%2Fnoc17-mg24-discuss%2F2K97vXrqbZI%2FJ8ffliVCAAAJ


So your marks will be changed accordingly. 

There are few points I want to make:

1) If there is any issue related to your marks calculations, then kindly cross check before posting. We have received many requests claiming that the marks calculation is wrong. All the requests are resolved and till now there was no error in marks calculation. The software used to calculate marks is not likely to make an error while adding numbers.

2) I have already shared a set of sample questions. The questions in the final exam will be of similar level (not of the similar type or similar formula/statement). If you are not able to solve these questions, then you need to go through the concept again. Looking for a step by step solution will not give you proper training and you might overfit on the training data (sample questions in this case).

3) Make sure you read the similar questions on the forum before asking your doubt. There are cases, where the same question has been asked 10 times. It pollutes the forum and users (including me) waste time in reading the same questions. 


All the best for your exam. :)

Tarun Kumar
