EECS 349 Project Proposal

Due 11:59PM Tuesday October 26

v1.0 Updated Mon Oct 18 2010

Assignment

The project proposals should be a one-page PDF file and should cover the following four points:

What task will you address, and why is it interesting? You want to make this convincing, so spend about two paragraphs on this.
How will you acquire your data? This proposal is intended to serve as a sanity check that your project is doable -- so if you're inventing a new data set, be as specific as possible here.
Which features will you use for your task?
What will your initial approach be? I.e., what data pre-processing will you do, which ML techniques (decision trees, nearest neighbor, etc.) will you try first, and how will you evaluate your success?

Submission details follow. NOTE that you mail this assignment to the professor in addition to the TAs, in PDF format. Only one submission is required per group, but please cc all group members in your submission e-mail.
