 You should turn in an iPython notebook that implements the perceptron algorithm on two different datasets: the Iris dataset, and the CIFAR-10 dataset. ​ Because the perceptron is a binary classifier, we will preprocess the data and "​squash"​ it to create two classes. You should turn in an iPython notebook that implements the perceptron algorithm on two different datasets: the Iris dataset, and the CIFAR-10 dataset. ​ Because the perceptron is a binary classifier, we will preprocess the data and "​squash"​ it to create two classes.
  
-Your notebook should also generate a visualization that shows classification accuracy at each iteration, along with the log of the l2 norm of the weight vector, for two different values of the perceptron'​s step size.  Examples of both are shown at the right. ​ Since there are two datasets, and there are two visualizations per dataset, your notebook should produce a total of 4 plots.+Your notebook should also generate a visualization that shows classification accuracy at each iteration, along with the log of the l2 norm of the weight vector, for two different values of the perceptron'​s step size.  Examples of both are shown at the right (for the CIFAR-10 dataset).  Since there are two datasets, and there are two visualizations per dataset, your notebook should produce a total of 4 plots.

 You should also test different step sizes. Wikipedia doesn'​t discuss how to do this, but it should be straightforward for you to figure out; the algorithm description in the lecture notes includes the step size.  (But try to figure it out: consider the update equation for a weight, and ask yourself: where should I put a stepsize parameter, to be able to adjust the magnitude of the weight update?​) ​ You should also test different step sizes.
