  1. COSC 6335Fall 2013Project3: Something Interesting About Finding Interesting Associations in Large Amounts of Data Christoph F. Eick

  2. Project3 (Group Project Association Analysis) 8 Groups of 4: Choose your own theme: • Implement an association analysis algorithm • Compare two association analysis algorithms • Apply an association algorithm/ the algorithms in an association analysis toolbox/library to a dataset • Give a survey about a particular association analysis task (e.g. collocation or graph mining) • … Deliveries: • 10 minute presentation on Th., Nov. 21 • Report on Su., Nov. 24, 11p

  3. Other Thoughts • Try to come up with a group topic by October 31! • You have a lot of man/woman power in your group; use it wisely. • A divide and conquer approach might be good; assign subtasks to team members/subgroups and then get together 1 week before the deadline and summarize your findings in a report. • The weight of Project3 will be lower than the weight of Project2, but likely higher than the weight of Project4.Its exact weight will be determined after it has been grades mostly assessing the workload and to a lesser extend the difficulty of the work done.

  4. Presentations • Each presentation has 9-11 minutes—not shorter not longer! One group member should be present at 11:20a on Th., November 21 to upload the presentation. The event will take place in 563 PGH!! • Please E-mail Dr. Eick the title of you project no later than November 14. • One group member of each group will serve as judge, evaluating the presentations of the other groups. The other 3 group members need to participate in the presentation. In general, students will judge themselves. • Presentations count 1/3 towards the Project3 grade and will be judged based on: • Content (does the presentation have a clear story/message to tell? Scientific Quality? Is the project technically sound?) • Form (is the presentation understandable, quality of slide, quality on how the content was delivered, time management) • Topic (is the topics interesting?) • Scoring System: 1-10 (10 is outstanding; 1 is very very poor; the expected average score for such events is typically between 6 and 7; moreover, ‘-’ abstain should be chosen, when evaluating your own group and if having a ‘true’ conflict of interest with respect to presenters of another group. • The remaining 2/3 of the project will be evaluated based on (using the same 1-10 scale) • Technical Quality and Content of the Project (weighted by 3) • Amount of Work • Form and Quality of the report • Interestingness of the chose topic • Finally we will added up the 7 scores (with 90 being the maximum score).

  5. Project Report • Lengths typically 8-15 pages, single-spaced using 11- or 12-point font; try to typeset your report tightly—more trees will survive!! Length of the report will differ significantly based on the nature of the project. Feel free to use appendices which do not count towards the page limit for other exhibits of your work. • Organization: Introduction-Main Part-Summary-References (no abstract is necessary!). Summary can be short; e.g. 2-4 paragraphs. • If you have some doubts, see Dr. Eick during his office hour.
