Winter
2022 Comp 8920: More Course Information
Document Volume 2.
1. More on Projects
*******
Note that this information is also posted on
the announcement page
of the course web
page.
http://cs.uwindsor.ca/~cezeife/courses/60-592/
Remember that project presentations will be
made on
Tuesdays, April
12 and April 19.
Each project (group or individual) is
presented in roughly 5 to 10
minutes giving
information on:
Project topic,
work involved and importance
New things learnt
for the project
Relevance to web
data extraction and recommendations
Parts of projects
completed and parts left to complete
Note that for
group projects, each group member's contribution has to
be stated
clearly. It is better if each member of the group
actually
participates during the presentation.
Note that
all members of a
project group might not necessarily get the
same mark if they
do not contribute the same amount of work
and do not show
the same level of understanding in the work
involved.
Note that
research projects should clearly present the topic
with an example
discussing a few techniques in the literature
already for
solving this topic. For example, a
research in
Data Warehousing
Cleaning, should clearly summarize what the
topic is about
and present with an example about 2 or 3 methods
they already
researched for handling data warehouse cleaning.
A comprehensive
list of techniques must be included in the final
report that must
have not less than 10 to 15 current and most
relevant
references.
Question time
takes between 3 and 5 minutes.
By your project
presentation date, I expect that you have
completed at
least 50% of the work involved in the project.
The complete
project report and demonstration (if a system is built
or an algorithm
implemented) has to be done by April 10th.
Project
demonstration time for each project should be booked
for Comp 8920 on Tuesday, April 26th. Project
demo time slots
are: 2:30 -
3:00pm, 3:30 - 4:00pm, 4:00 - 4:30, 4:30 - 5:00pm, 5:00-5:30pm.
Reports should be
submitted at least a day or two before demo.
If more
Time slots are
needed, we shall create them.
Project Report
-----
Report should not be more than 20 pages on
12 point, 1.5 or double line
spaced font and
should include the following points:
(a) purpose of
application,
(b) system
designers and their contributions,
(c) database
schema including constraints, business rules,
(d) summary of
interface,
(e) features of
the system built or studied
(f) installation
guide,
(g) listing of
all files involved in the application and their functions,
and relationships
to each other.
(h) user manual
and any other pertinent information.
1. More
on Seminars
********
Remember that seminars begin on Tuesday,
March 22. Refer back
to the seminar
schedule list I gave to you for information on who
is presenting
when and which papers to read in preparation.
Students are
expected to grade seminar based on clarity, organization,
quality of talk
and technical content. Clarity judges
how you
understand what
the presenter is giving from the way they present it
(not based on
your lack of concentration on what they are talking
about).
Organization judges how cohesive (the flow or togetherness) of
the material
taught (e.g., do they clearly tell you the topic, explain the purpose before
discussing the solutions and results or do they
jump in and talk
of results when you do not even know what the
topic is about.
Efforts put into slide presentations also come in
here). Quality of talk judges the correctness of the
presentation
from the paper
presented (that is, how well does the presenter
understand
materials in this paper or are they providing wrong
information?). Technical content judges level of difficulty
of
the paper
presented and efforts put in by the student.
Some
students avoid
actually trying to understand and explain the
technical
solution (algorithms) presented in the paper, but
rather spend too
much time discussing purpose and performance
analysis.
Recall that the
one research seminar report should be a maximum of 5 pages
in 12 point
double line format for the two papers you are
supposed to
summarize. Hand in your one seminar
reports on or after the day
your paper is
presented. Last reports should be submitted
on the last day
of seminar presentations.
You should also
start to book the time slot for your project
Demo (that is
delivery of the final project application).
2. More
on Test
****
Test covers
materials taught in the lecture part of course and distributed into 3 sections
for i) data mining algorithms, ii) web data
extraction algorithms and iii) web recommendation algorithms. The sample test
handed out(or to be handed out) in class is a good model with a fairly good
coverage of test materials.
