   • For the addresses of institute-specific portals, see this overview of URL’s.

3. Click on the Research tab. Verify that you see two folders: research-tutorial-unsup and research-tutorial-sup. These two folders will represent two different groups that you will be working in. You have access to these groups and the Yoda portal because you were added as a member. You can only log in to Yoda when you are added to a specific group in Yoda.

4. Try to remember that we will start working in the unsupervised group, and only in the last exercise we will move to the other one.
