EECS 349 Project Status Report

Due 11:59PM Tuesday November 16

v1.0 Updated Mon Nov 8 2010

The project status reports should be at most two pages (they may be shorter) in PDF format, and should cover the following three points:

• What does your data compiled to date look like, e.g., how many examples do you have, how many features, and what are some examples of the features? Have you set aside a test set that you will not experiment with until the end of the course? Are there important biases or shortcomings in your data set(s) that will limit the conclusions you can make? Note, if you're compiling your own, novel data set (as many groups are), it's imperative for the status report that you have made significant progress acquiring data. Your grade on the status report will be primarily based on your answer to the above questions; the remaining points below are intended to enable more helpful feedback from the professor and TAs.
• What preliminary results do you have so far?
• What are the most important steps you have remaining, and what specific questions do you plan to answer?
