Project Plan

Please prepare presentation which summarizes your project plan. Use the following format. You should end up with 6-10 slides + title.

0. Please identify your team (team name and member names) on a title slide. When you present, be sure to introduce yourselves.

1. (1-2slides) Problem statement: What problem you are trying to solve. Should include some measure of success such as performance/accuracy. Should not describe the algorithm or method you're using to solve the problem.

2. Data source(s) you plan to use. If its a large dataset its very important to acquire it early to make sure it supports the analysis you want to do and that you can process it in time.

3. (2 slides) Methods you plan to explore. Explain why scalability is important for the problem.

4. (1 slides) The tools you plan to use, and a rationale for their use. Can cover data preparation, learning, visualization, performance measurement etc.

5. (1-2 slides) Any challenges you anticipate and how you plan to address them.

Mechanics

Plan to present for 6 minutes. There should be some time for questions in the change-over between groups.

When you're done presenting, disconnect your machine so the next group can present, but stay at the front of the room to answer questions.

When presenting make sure you have your presentation on a (charged) laptop and also on a backup machine.

Check that your video output works, and that you know how to use it.

Make sure you know how to manage multiple screens (or to disable that feature) since most laptops map the projector to a different screen by default.

Check that your presentation renders correctly on the target machine. Editing the presentation on windows for presentation on a Mac usually breaks something. pdf will generally render the same on both platforms.
