Guidelines for final reports: Be sure that your writeup contains:

  • Team and member names (one report per group).
  • Your goals for the project
  • Your system design and algorithmic choices
  • Sample screens of typical usage scenarios
  • Experiments and results that show how effective your system is, and where it could be improved. For example, you might show a precision / recall curve for different types of extraction algorithms. Graphs (if informative) are better than large tables of numbers. See some of the papers in the reading. The Kylin paper is not particularly unusual in this respect, but may give you ideas.
  • Anything you considered suprising or that you learned. What would you do differently if you could?
  • Conclusions and ideas for future work
  • Appendicies:
    • Which people did what parts of the work? Were there problematic dynamics in your group?
    • What externally-written code (if any) was used in your project?
    • Instructions on how to start and use your project (including OS or browser requirements, pointer to a README file (or include that inline). Is there a website to visit?
There is no limit on length, but we appreciate good organization and tight, precise writing. Points off for rambling and repetition.

What to Hand In:

  • By the start of the final presentation period, please hand in a hard-copy of your report as well as an electronic version of both the report and the code. We will supply details on the electronic hand-in process via the class mailing list.
  • Late submissions for the final project and writeup will not be accepted, as it will be the end of the quarter. Sorry! (But happy holidays).
