Guidelines
Setting up the coursework
To start, download the file "cw1.zip" from the module’s Keats website. Once this is done:
1. Unzip the file "cw1.zip" in a folder of your choice. We will refer to this folder as "
"
2. Change the the name of your unzipped folder to your k-number. For instance, if your k number is "k12345678", the
file "run_coursework.m" should be located at "/k12345678/run_coursework.m"
3. Open your MATLAB editor, and make sure that the file explorer (upper left section of your editor) is located at
"/k12345678/" (otherwise, the code will not run).
Instructions
You should now find two matlab scripts ("run_coursework.m" and "check_dimensions.m"), a series of MATLAB function
files, two ".mat" files, and this file ("coursewor_1.pdf").
In this coursework, you will complete a series of functions that will be called in the script "run_coursework.m". By running
the file "run_coursework.m", you will be able to inspect the results of the functions you modified.
You should modify ONLY the code inside the mentioned functions at each question. Most importantly, you should NOT
edit the scripts "run_coursework.m" or "check_dimensions.m"!
The functions to edit will be indicated at the end of each question. We will also specify the format of the inputs and the
required format of the outputs.
For instance, for a function named "example", which sums the entries of a vector v, the question will specify the
following:
----
Function file: "example.m"
Input format: vector v
Output format: scalar value
Function signature (name of the inputs and outputs in the code):
function sum_v = example(v)
----
1
The file "example.m" will then contain the following
function out = example(v)
% Write your code here
out = rand(1); % Placeholder (to delete and replace upon completion of the question)
end
By default, each function will have placeholder output ("out = rand(1)" in this example) that ensures that the code
runs, even if the result is purely random. If you skip a question, you should leave the placeholder to ensure the file
"run_coursework.m" still runs. If you complete a question, you will have to remove the placeholder and replace it with
your answer.
You ONLY need to modify the code INSIDE the function. You must NOT modify the name of the function, and you must
NOT modify the signature of the the function (i.e., the name of the inputs/outputs)!
Once a function has been coded, you should run the script "run_coursework.m" to make sure the function does the
intended operation. Note that the file "run_coursework.m" will run all of the coursework at once, so you might want to
run only the lines of "run_coursework.m" up to your current question. Comments in "run_coursework.m" indicate which
lines concern which questions.
You are not allowed to use MATLAB toolboxes: the coded functions should only contain built-in MATLAB functions such
as the ones seen in lectures or tutorials (e.g., "mean", "sum", "*", ".*", "binornd", ...).
Please avoid submitting functions that display text. It is recommended to use the MATLAB debugger instead of function
"disp" to inspect the behaviour of your code.
Submitting your coursework
Before submitting your work, you should clear your workspace (right click on the "Workspace" section of your editor >
"Clear Workspace") and verify that the script "run_coursework.m" runs well and gives the intended results.
You should also run the file "dimension_check.m" to make sure that each the outputs of each function have the right
dimensions.
No points will be awarded for functions that do not output the right dimensions or to functions that raise an error.
To submit your work, compress the folder containing the MATLAB files into a ZIP file with your k-number as its name. For
instance, if your k-number is "k12345678", the ZIP file should be "k12345678.zip". Please verify that the ZIP file directly
contains your MATLAB files, and not an intermediary folder.
Finally, submit the your ZIP file over KEATS.
Introduction
2
This coursework will explore how machine learning can be used to analyze text data. It is divided in two parts:
? Part I: prediction of the next word given the previous word in a sentence based on a given model;
? Part II: training of a classifier that can predict the next word based on the previous words.
A written sentence can be viewed as a sequence of words. We will use the notation to denote a sequence of K words.
For instance, the sentence "Hello, my name is Sam." is given by the 5-words sequence (disregarding the punctuation and
upper/lower cases):
.
Note that two different orderings of the same words represent two distinct sequences.
For instance, and are two different sentences.
The words composing a sentence are taken from a discrete vocabulary set of M different words for
.
For instance, with the vocabulary set , we can create
the sequences:
and
.
In order to represents the M words of the vocabulary as numbers we define the discrete set
, where represents the word in V.
For instance, if the vocabulary is , the sequence
can be expressed as the vector , and the
sequence can be represented by the vector .
From a probabilistic perspective, a sequence of K words is modelled as a discrete random vector
, where the random variable represents the k-th word in . For , the random
variable takes values in the set , and a realization represents the word in the vocabulary V.
3
For instance, a realization represents the sequence , if the
vocabulary is .
Throughout this coursework, we will work with a vocabulary V of words given as
V = [
"it", "is", "a", "the", "nice", ...
"good", "day", "evening", "not", "or" ...
];
Part I
In the first part of this coursework, we will analyze sequences of two words taken from the vocabulary set V.
Accordingly, each 2-words sequence will be represented by a random vector , where and take values
in the set .
Throughout this part, some functions will take as input the matrix
, such that the element at the i-th row and j-th colum of
the matrix represents the joint probability for and .

Part II
In this second part, we are given a dataset of N sentences of length K, where
is the k-th word in the n-th sentence, for and . As explained in the
introduction, the integer represents the word in the given vocabulary of words.
The objective of this part will be to train a hard predictor with parameter vector capable of
predicting the next word based on the k previous words represented by the vector ,
with . For this, we will use a fraction of the available dataset to train the hard predictor
that minimizes the mean squared error (MSE), where the function
takes the nearest integers of a real number . The remaining fraction of the dataset will be used
to assess the performance of the trained predictor.
7
Accordingly, for a given , we will regroup all the predictor inputs available in the dataset into
a input matrix , where the vector represents the k first words of the
n-th sentence, for . The corresponding predictor targets (i.e., the next word after ) are grouped into an
target vector , where represents the -th word of the n-th sentence. We
will also use the notation to refer to the data matrix containing all of dataset .
We provide a function which takes as input a input data matrix and
its corresponding targets as a vector , for any number of rows ; and outputs the optimal
parameter vector of the predictor with respect to the MSE. This function can be found in the file

contain the remaining rows of X, i.e., the rows of ranging from to N.
