Each of you must, once, work in a group of 2 or 3 students to prepare to lead a discussion of the papers I assign. You must also, once, work in a group of 2 or 3 students doing some additional research and presenting the project you discovered to the class. Each student will research and implement a machine learning approach to some task. Students will present the topic to the class at the end of the semester, and write a 10-15 page paper summarizing the topic, research and implementation that has been done. Discussing the homework with other students is acceptable, but the work should be your own individual work.
Homework is due at the beginning of class on the due date.
Group work, whether leading a discussion or presenting a new topic, should be done as a group. Decide on main points, and what you want to say. When preparing a topic of your choosing for presentation, pick one specific topic and look at it together. Picking two or three separate topics and welding them together is not acceptable.
