Information about the project

Virtual Poster Session: 20th May, 2020, start time 11:00

Time-table for the project material:

  1. May 17 - submit project report
  2. Morning of May 18 - I will assign each project group another project group report to review. (Between then and the poster session please prepare 3 questions to ask at the poster session.)
  3. May 20 - morning upload video presentation (video should be a maximum of 5 minutes)
  4. May 20 - Attend ``Virtual Poster Session", answer questions about your project & ask at least 3 questions about the project you have been asked to peer review.
  5. May 24 - Upload answers to peer-assessment questions & self-assessment report.

Here is a document with the information we want you to include in the peer-review and the self-assessment report: Download SelfAssesment_PeerReview.pdf

Here is a document describing how you can do "Video Recording in Canvas with Kaltura Capture" and it gets directly uploaded to the Media Gallery: Download Canvas_Video_Recording_Kaltura_Capture.pdf

 

Must upload your project report  by 23:59 Sunday, May 17 to take part in the Poster session.

The format of the Virtual Poster Session will approximately be as follows.

Phase 1

Using the amazing zoom we will:

  •  Break into smaller chat rooms of ∼8 projects each.
  •  Each project has ∼12 minutes to devoted to it with the following activities:
  1.        Everyone in the chat room watches the video presentation.
  2.      The project under review must answer questions from the group assigned to peer review their project.
  3.      Time permitting the other students in the chat room can ask questions.
  •  When all projects have been discussed, the room can vote for the best project. This project will move forward to phase 2.

Phase 2

In the next phase everybody gets to see the “best” projects from each subset.

  • All students and TAs in a single chat room
  • Everybody watches the videos of the winning projects from phase 1.
  • The audience gets to ask questions.
  • All students get to vote for the project that should win the audience’s best project award

 

What do I do if I miss the project report deadline:

  1. I just missed the deadline, but my report will be ready before the poster session. You must sort out with another late group if they are willing to peer review your report and vice-versa. If manage to do this then inform me of the groups involved and I will let you join the poster session.
  2. There is zero chance I will make this deadline. I will arrange for another virtual poster session in the September.  Mail me after May 20th if you want to take part in the "Poster Re-Exam" and I will poll the groups involved to find a suitable date. Note myself and the TAs will not be able to give you help with your projects after the course ends. (end of May)

 

Documents about the project:

Documents describing the project, the proposal and the written report:

  • Download ProjectProposalInstructions.pdf - instructions about what information should be included in your  project proposal.
  • Download ProjectAssessment.pdf - details about how the project will be examined and what material you need to produce for the project - TLDR: your group needs to produce a project report, video, peer-review and self assessment report and attend the Virtual Poster Session.
  • Download ProjectType.pdf - (quite incomplete document,  finished version coming by the weekend)  describes what type of projects we are expecting and some ideas for projects. But explains the idea about the possibility of individual projects for the small subset of people where it may be difficult to work in a group. 
    Just for clarification when I say  "    implement from scratch" in this document I mean with a deep learning framework like Tensorflow, Keras, PyTorch etc.  ( The assignments are more than enough practice of coding in Matlab and numpy hand computed gradients!) 
  • Template for the project report: Download nips_2018.sty, nips_2018.tex Download nips_2018.tex (It's a very slightly hacked version the NeurIPS style template.)

 

To come example templates for the self-assessment and peer-review forms.
