Project - Milestone
Due date: 10 / 12 / 2011 (11:59 PM)
August 15, 2011
Class project contributes the largest percentage to your overall grade. Therefore, it is
essential that you put sucient eort in your project.
As your rst milestone in the class project, you will prepare a project page. This project
page will be your project proposal. This milestone will constitute 5 % of the project grade.
Each project group needs to prepare only one web page. This web page will contain the
following:
Project title.
Team members names.
A brief (5-10 sentences) abstract of the project which describes what you aim to do in
your project.
A brief itemized plan of action. This plan will discuss what specic steps you are
planning to take to achieve the aim you stated in the abstract, such as
What will you implement?
methods What are you going to compare and how will you get them?
Which datasets are you going to use and where will you get them from (links if
possible)?
What kind of experiment will you run and what will you measure (e.g., time,
score, p-value etc).
Planned workload distribution to team member. You need this item only if you are
teaming up with others.
List of papers you have (will) read for this project.
You will upload a simple text le that contains the link to the project page on the Sakai.
One upload per project is sucient. So, if you have multiple team members, you do not
need to upload it multiple times. Also, return a printout of this proposal to me in class on
the next class hour after the due date.
Important: The project presentations will start after November 13, 2011. So, you should
make an early start on the project.
