- The purpose is to recruit a team for the final project
- Not everyone is expected to produce the pitch
- Prepare a sales pitch (on your own or in a group) if you really feel strong about the topic
- The group needs to submit a project proposal (1.5-2 pages in IEEE format (see https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/preparation-of-papers-for-ieee-sponsored-conferences-and-symposia/zfnqfzzzxghk).
- The proposal should provide
- an objective
- a brief motivation
- detailed discussion of the data that will be obtained or used in the project,
- responsibilities of each member, along with
- a time-line of milestones, and
- the expected outcome
- The proposal pdf will be committed to fdac19/ProjectName/proposal.pdf
-
Final project does not need to have an equal emphasis on the dimensions of discovery, retrieval, storage, cleaning, analysis/operation
-
It could go deep in one of the areas, preferably the area you most care about.
-
The final result could be a working application or an analysis with the following artifacts
- Presentation to the class in late Nov
- A short (4-6 page research paper) describing new method, insight or a working application
