CS 431/631 Assignments

Assignment 1: Counting in Python due 2:30pm January 25

For this assignment, you should continue to use Compute Canada's Jupyter hub at https://uwaterloo.syzygy.ca/. Use your WatIAM password.

This assignment requires you to implement a mechansism for answering queries about some count-based statistics over tokens in the text of Shakespeare's plays. You will need to upload the following files to the Jupyter hub:

• Shakespeare.txt: the complete text of Shakespeare's plays
• simple_tokenize.py: a simple Python module for tokenizing text
• A1.ipynb: this is the starter notebook for A1, in which you will do your assignment work.

The first two files should already have been uploaded to the hub for Assignment 0. You can just re-use the copies that you already uploaded. To get started working on the assignment, open the starter notebook on the hub.

When you have finished, submit A1 using the same procedure you used for A0:

1. Download your A1.ipynb file from the Jupyter hub to your computer.
2. Change the name of your file from A1.ipynb to A1-xxxxxxxx.ipynb, where xxxxxxxx is your UW student ID number.
3. Send your A1-xxxxxxxx.ipynb file as an e-mail attachment to kmsalem@uwaterloo. Your e-mail message must be sent before the assignment deadline, and must have the subject line [cs431] A1-xxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxxx is your UW student ID number.
