Projects
Goal & deliverables
The deliverables consists in a single .zip file posted on bspace containing:
A 10-15 page project report detailing the case study. The report should be written preferably with LaTeX.
All the figures (in .pdf format) and matlab files needed to reproduce the results.
A README file detailing
The name of the .zip file should be of the form <XXX>_EE227BTF19.zip, where XXX is a tag for the project. Example: GRAPHMOD_EE227BTF19.zip.
Logistics
Each project involves a team of 3-4 students.
Groups and topics should be decided no later than October 25.
There will be a single project grade for each group.
Timeline
By 9/24: teams are formed.
By 10/29: project proposals due.
On 11/21 and 11/26: project presentations.
On 11/29: final reports due.
On 12/5: final reports due.
Types of projects
Projects can have the following different formats:
Literature review: The project describes in detail a set of 4-5 papers. This should include reproducing experiments. Example: learning sparse graphical models.
Design methodology: the project describes a (possibly new) methodology for addressing a particular design problem. Here the focus is not on algorithms or past work. Example: geometric programming for water distribution networks.
Theory: the project examines a theoretical issue related to convex optimization. Example: quality of SDP relaxation for sparse PCA.
Algorithms: the project tests various algorithms for solving a particular type of problem. Example: Stochastic vs. accelerated gradient for large-scale logistic regression.
