First course handout for CS786 is here
(Jan 18 2022) We are conducting an online experiment which involves playing Rock-Paper-Scissors against bots. The experiment has two parts, the first of which is hosted at this link. It should take around 20-25 minutes. Students will need a laptop/desktop and either their IIT-K student ID card or any Debit/Credit card nearby to do this. The deadline for finishing the first leg of the experiment is Friday, 21st January 23:59. Completing the first part of the study is required to participate in the second leg. If you have any questions or face any technical issues regarding the experiment please contact Pritam (Email: pritaml20@iitk.ac.in)
(Jan 13 2022) Course experiments will be listed here as they are released. Watch this space.
