IGR 205 Project seminar

M1 - IGR/IGD Master - 2023/24

Course organizer: Amal Dev PARAKKAT



ABOUT

In this course, 2-3 students will team up, and each team will develop a program or a set of modules, which is possibly related to a (or multiple) research article(s). The project topics are carefully proposed by the entire teaching staff in the IGR/IGD Master program. Each team will exclusively work for one topic.

Important: The participants have to keep in mind that all the topics will not have the same difficulty. Thus, each team should actively communicate with the project supervisor(s). It may happen to adjust the given tasks depending on your capacity. But, don't worry, your supervisor(s) will be happy to help you. Once you have been assigned to a topic, please contact your supervisor(s) as quickly as possible and get clearly informed about your tasks and supervision. Additionally, you are working in a team, and, sometimes (or even quite often), it can happen that all team members are not equally contributing. Please be aware that your evaluation will be first based on your teamwork; but, you still have your right to report to your supervisor and the course organizer on unfairness if you experience unbearable collaboration with someone. Please actively communicate within your team and make an effort to build good teamwork.



SCHEDULE

There will be no regular teaching session for this class. Once your topic has been confirmed, you have to disscuss with your supervisor(s) to set up your progress meetings.

Important dates (Up-to-date information will be available on Synapses):

  • 16 April 2024 - Topics are available
  • 22 April 2024 - 13:30 to 16:45 - Introduction section
  • 27 May 2024 - 13:30 to 16:45 - Mid-term evaluation
  • 24 June 2024 - 13:30 to 16:45 - Final defense
  • 26 June 2024 - 23:59 - Deadline for submission of all materials (slides, report, code and extra materials if applicable)



EVALUATION

At the end of the course, after the final presentation, each team has to send the supervisor(s) a zip file or a link (such as shared folder, github, or gitlab) such that they can access to (1) a presentation PDF file, (2) a report PDF file, and (3) extra resources such as source codes if applicable.

The evaluation will take into account the followings:

  • Implementation (50%): Program or modules for the given topic
  • Presentation (30%): Final 20 minutes talk (15 minutes for contents and 5 minutes for Q/A)
  • Report (20%): Maximum 4 pages in double column excluding references; you can use this LaTeX template
  • Guideline: You can start with writing a summary of the topic you work for. Additionally, it is stronly recommended that you focus more on your own study/research rather than just finishing with the summary of the corresponding research paper. We, including you, are not interested in repeating the text already described in the original work; it is more meaningful that you make an effort to put your own achievement and analysis about the work, such as pros and cons, limitation, your own ideas for the issues, potential future work, etc.

    We value academic integrity; thus, you must understand the meaning and consequences of plagiarism. You can refer to existing codes, texts, and any materials that would be useful for your project. However, you must be careful to reuse them properly.
