ROADMAP

To present this work as a syllabus, here is a weekly guide (assumes a 14 week semester)

Week	Task	Lecture	Code (to reproduce)	Terms (to understand)
0	fishing	onFish	-	stakeholder, developer, bias, discrimination, decision space, objective space, $(W,X,Y,Z,B)$, fishing, active learning; why limited budgets?; semi-supervised learning;
1	scripting	onScript	(src::doc::out) do not use CLI or testing library (roll your own)	version control,test-driven development, red-green-refactor, command-line interfaces, regular expressions,random number seeds
2	data	onData	(src::doc::out) do not use PANDAS or the like (roll your own)	coercion (string to thing), normal(Gaussian), Weibull, ,mean, median, mode, standard deviation, entropy, Welford, Aha, row (example), column (attribute, feature,goal)
3	clustering	onCluster OnOptimise	(cluster::doc::out)	distance, Euclidean, Aha, LSH, Fastmap, cosine rule, k-means, mini-batch k-means, out-liners, multi-goal, many-goal, bdom(binary domination); cdom(continuous domination, Zitzler)
4	requirements engineering		(src::doc::out)	requirements engineering
4b	requirements engineering		-
5	bins and trees			discretization, decision trees
5a	data mining		-
5b	XAI		-
6	incompetency			anomaly detection
7	knn, naive bayes
8	stats
9	hpo
10	DL			-
11	theorem proving		-

TBD: xai, optimization, theorem proving, commercial AI pipeline

After all that, students can end with a four week project.

Hints for coding

To read this code, at first pass, think of it as some cut-down version of Python.

All code /src/X.lua has:

This code (mostly) follows the conventions described here.

To stop team members running over each other, bust up example files into many smaller files:

one file per class
a "lib" file for miscellaneous support stuff
the test suite
a main file that loads the rest
Do this in a separate sub directory for each week.
- and in a sub-sub directory have etc/out where you store the outputs when you run (e.g.) python3 week3.py -g all.

Watch for small variations in the same class for different weeks.

Sometimes there are tiny changes in the code that are BIG changes in functionality
So first thing is to run a diff on my code week[i-1], week[i]
