#### Frequently asked questions

##### Which programming language am I supposed to use? What tools am I allowed to use?
You are free to choose any programming language and use any software library.

##### Can you help me solve the task? Can you give me a hint?
As the tasks are a graded part of the class, **we cannot help you solve them**. However, we will try to address general aspects during the project tutorials. Moreover, feel free to ask general questions about the course material during or after the exercise sessions.

##### Can you give me a deadline extension?
We can not grant deadline extensions, except in extraordinary cases (e.g. military service). However, we will require official confirmation of your problem (e.g. certificate of illness).

##### Can I post on Piazza as soon as I have a question?
This is highly discouraged. Instead,
- Read the details of the task thoroughly.
- Review the frequently asked questions.
- If there is another team that solved the task, try again.
- Discuss with your team mates.

If you still consider that you should contact the TAs, you can post a **private** question on Piazza. Remember that collaboration with other teams beyond (general discussions) is prohibited.

##### Are I allowed to use ideas from published papers and use their code?

You are allowed to search for any material that presents how to train models for related tasks (e.g. articles in conferences, repositories, etc...). However, you must re-implement the code by yourself. You are **NOT** allowed to copy code.

##### When will I receive the private scores? And the project grades?
We will publish the private scores before the exam the latest.
