COSC 6342Fall 2014Project2: Making Sense of Data—Apply Machine Learning to an Interesting Dataset Discussion2 Christoph F. Eick
Project2 Deliveries: • 2-page Progress Report • Group Presentation • Final Report Tentative Weights of Non-Exam Parts of the Course: Project1:20% Project2:14% Homework1+2: 7%
Project2 Presentations and Grading • Each presentation has 11 minutes—not shorter not longer! • One group member of each group will serve as judge, evaluating the presentations of the other groups. The other 2/3 group members need to participate in the presentation. In general, students will judge themselves together with Wellington. • All group member (except those who serve as judges) must participate in the presentation • Presentations count about 30% towards the Project3 grade and will be judged based on: • Content (does the presentation have a clear story/message to tell? Scientific Quality? Is the project technically sound?) Weight=2 • Topic (is the topics interesting?) Weight=1 • Form (is the presentation understandable, quality of slide, quality on how the content was delivered) Weight=2 • Time Management (did the group wisely use the available time; was the presentation too short/long) Weight=1 • Scoring System: 1-10 (10 is outstanding; 1 is very very poor; the expected average score for such events is typically between 6 and 7; moreover, ‘-’ abstain should be chosen, when evaluating your own group and if having a ‘true’ conflict of interest with respect to presenters of another group. • 5% of the score is allocated to the 2-page progress report • The remaining 60% of the project will be evaluated based on (using the same 1-10 scale) • Technical Quality and Content of the Project (weighted by 3) • Amount of Work • Form and Quality of the report • Interestingness of the chosen topic • Dr. Eick will grade the Project2 Reports
Project Report • Report Lengths 9-11 pages in NIPS Format, single-spaced. Feel free to use appendices which do not count towards the page limit for very large other exhibits of your work. • Organization: Introduction-Main Part-Summary-References (no abstract is necessary!). Summary can be short; e.g. 2-4 paragraphs. • If you have some doubts, see Dr. Eick during his office hour.
