COSC 410A/LA: Final Project
Overview
For the final, you and a group of up to three people will work on a substantive independent machine learning project. You will make both a final poster, to present your research to others in the class and the community during a showcase, and a final artifact. More details on this to final bit to come later.
Phase One: Project Proposal with Pilot
In Lab 7, you will propose a potential final project idea which will be submitted with your group to Gradescope by Monday Mar 31 at 11:59PM. We will have an in person (as mentioned on the course schedule) where will we discuss your project and feedback will be provided (hopefully during the class time on Thursday April 3). Scheduling details to follow after the group submissions.
You will be asked to do a followup/concrete first step by Friday, April 11, as mentioned on the course schedule by adding a markdown document to your groups github detailing what you did/found.
Phase Two: Project Preliminary Presentation
On Thursday April 24 your group will present the results of your project in the form of a draft of your final poster. A template for your poster is provided below. You should plan to guide people through your poster with a brief (roughly 5 minute) pitch. Your pitch should address the following:
- What is your research question?
- How are you operationalizing your research question?
- What are your methods?
- What are your results?
- What do your results mean?
These questions map to the Introduction, Experimental setup, Results, and
Summary+Conclusion portions of the poster. Please discuss with me if you have
any questions. You should add your poster to the folder linked below by the
start of class on Thursday Apr. 24.
Phase Three: Final Poster Presentation
In the final phase of your project your group will produce a poster that you will present (as a group). Your poster will be presented in person and should be printed using Colgate’s free poster printing facilities (linked below).
Phase Four: Final Artifact
