Project Write-up (due 12pm, Dec 4):
We have given you the write-up template. Given this format, your report should be between 8-10 pages (excluding the supplementary material, more later). All of you are basing your project on someone's previous work, so you have to read at least several papers. We're expecting your report to be written in the style of the papers you have read. The following is a suggested structure for your report.
• Title, author
• Abstract: It should not be more than 300 words.
• Introduction: this section introduces your problem, and the overall plan for approaching your problem;
• Background: This section discusses relevant literature for your project;
• Approach: This section details the framework of your project. Be specific, which means you might want to include equations, figures, plots, etc;
• Experiment: This section begins with what kind of experiments you're doing, what kind of dataset(s) you're using, and what is the way you measure or evaluate your results. It then shows in details the results of your experiments. By details, I mean both quantitative evaluations (show numbers, figures, tables, etc) as well as qualitative results (show images, example results, etc).
• Conclusion: What have you learned? Suggest future ideas.
• References: This is absolutely necessary. Reports without references will not receive a score higher than 10 points (total is 30 points). Supplementary materials: This is NOT counted toward your 8-10 page limit. Please submit your codes as supplementary materials.
