OverviewInstead of a final exam, you should complete a mini-project. It can be on any AI-related topic, including those we have not covered in class. Example topics are listed below.Collaboration: You can work alone or in groups of two. Groups are expected to do twice the work. Proposal Date: Send Luke a short email describing your proposed project as soon as you have an idea, but definitely before the end of day on Monday, Nov. 22nd. Please come to office hours, or contact us if you need help deciding on a topic. Due Date: Friday Dec. 17th, 5pm. Progress Report: Each group will present a short progress report in class on Thursday, Dec. 9th. The presentations should be approximately 4-5 minutes long, with an additional minute or two for questions. The reports will not be graded, but this is an important opportunity to receive feedback from the course staff and your fellow students. The goal of your presentation should be to briefly describe the problem you are working on, your approach to solving it, progress so far, and your plan for the remaining week. Please come prepared. You are welcome to use the white board. If you would like to use the projector, email pdf slides to Luke on Wed. Dec 8th. Submit: A final project report and a single compressed file containing source code with instructions describing how it should be run. The project report should be in pdf format with no more than 4 pages of content (you are allowed unlimited space for the cited papers list in the bibliography, starting on page 5). Group projects can have 6 pages of content. You should upload the files to the CSE 573 DropBox. Project Ideas: A strong project will demonstrate understanding of topics in AI research that are beyond the scope of what we covered in class. This can be done by, for example:
Research Papers (feel free to suggest others)Search/MDPs
Games
Beyonds HMMs (other sequence models)
POMDP Planning
E-mail Spam Filtering
Software Packages (feel free to suggest others)
