exam shape

[Subbarao Kambhampati <SUBBARAO.KAMBHAMPATI@asu.edu>]

Here are some more definite details.

The exam will be openbook/open notes/in class

There will not be any take-home portion to the exam.

There will be about 15 short answer questions and about 4 longer
questions with parts. 

I should be in my office tomorrow and can answer last minute panic
questions if needed....

Here is a short answer question I decided not to include. May be you
can read the tea-leaves from it and guess what other question will be...;-)

We are doing an SVD analysis of a term-document matrix M of size KxD,
where K << D.  What is the maximum number of non-zero singular values
of M? Suppose we ignore L of the singular values and reconstruct an
approximation M' of M. What will be the sizes (dimensions) of the M',
U, S and V matrices?
