Added all module development files to modules/XX_name/ directories:
Module notebooks and scripts:
- 18 modules with .ipynb and .py files (01-20, excluding some gaps)
- Moved from modules/source/ to direct module directories
- Includes tensor, autograd, layers, transformers, optimization modules
Module README files:
- Added README.md for modules with additional documentation
- Complements ABOUT.md files added earlier
This completes the module restructuring:
- Before: modules/source/XX_name/*_dev.{py,ipynb}
- After: modules/XX_name/*_dev.{py,ipynb}
All development happens directly in numbered module directories now.
Major Accomplishments:
• Rebuilt all 20 modules with comprehensive explanations before each function
• Fixed explanatory placement: detailed explanations before implementations, brief descriptions before tests
• Enhanced all modules with ASCII diagrams for visual learning
• Comprehensive individual module testing and validation
• Created milestone directory structure with working examples
• Fixed critical Module 01 indentation error (methods were outside Tensor class)
Module Status:
✅ Modules 01-07: Fully working (Tensor → Training pipeline)
✅ Milestone 1: Perceptron - ACHIEVED (95% accuracy on 2D data)
✅ Milestone 2: MLP - ACHIEVED (complete training with autograd)
⚠️ Modules 08-20: Mixed results (import dependencies need fixes)
Educational Impact:
• Students can now learn complete ML pipeline from tensors to training
• Clear progression: basic operations → neural networks → optimization
• Explanatory sections provide proper context before implementation
• Working milestones demonstrate practical ML capabilities
Next Steps:
• Fix import dependencies in advanced modules (9, 11, 12, 17-20)
• Debug timeout issues in modules 14, 15
• First 7 modules provide solid foundation for immediate educational use(https://claude.ai/code)
- Removed 01_setup module (archived to archive/setup_module)
- Renumbered all modules: tensor is now 01, activations is 02, etc.
- Added tito setup command for environment setup and package installation
- Added numeric shortcuts: tito 01, tito 02, etc. for quick module access
- Fixed view command to find dev files correctly
- Updated module dependencies and references
- Improved user experience: immediate ML learning instead of boring setup
- Migrated all Python source files to assignments/source/ structure
- Updated nbdev configuration to use assignments/source as nbs_path
- Updated all tito commands (nbgrader, export, test) to use new structure
- Fixed hardcoded paths in Python files and documentation
- Updated config.py to use assignments/source instead of modules
- Fixed test command to use correct file naming (short names vs full module names)
- Regenerated all notebook files with clean metadata
- Verified complete workflow: Python source → NBGrader → nbdev export → testing
All systems now working: NBGrader (14 source assignments, 1 released), nbdev export (7 generated files), and pytest integration.
The modules/ directory has been retired and replaced with standard NBGrader structure.
