Proposal

Final Project Proposal

Your proposal should be submitted as a PDF or markdown file, and should include:

  • The names of your group members
  • The type of project (text classification or open-ended)
  • The problem that you intend to address, answering the following three questions:
    • How this problem is related to the class?
    • What is interesting about this problem?
    • What is the novel component of your project?
  • The data that you will use for your project
    • Be especially careful when choosing data; make sure that if you are planning to use data that is mentioned in a paper, you are able to download it freely without having to reach out to the authors or have access to an API
  • A high level description of how you will evaluate your results
  • A tentative week-by-week timeline describing how you intend to complete your project before May 19th
    • This should include your intended deliverable for project check-in 2
      • For text classification projects, this should include an implementation of your baseline model and drafts of the data and methods sections of your report.
      • For open-ended projects, you should propose an equivalent deliverable
