Midterm Checkpoint (10%) #
This is a checkpoint to make sure that you have had major progress in your project. By this point, at least one machine learning model should be implemented and evaluated. Results should be presented using visualizations and quantitative metrics. You will add information to your proposal to create your midterm report.
Note: As part of research, it is natural that the project may change from the original proposed. Please be sure to document and justify any such changes in this report.
Midterm Sections & Checklist #
-
Introduction/Background: refer to guidance from the proposal checklist
-
Problem Definition: refer to guidance from the proposal checklist
-
Methods: Present at least one implemented solution including specific data processing method(s) and machine learning algorithm(s). Explain why your chosen model(s) and method(s) were selected.
