Contents
Requirements for the problems
A student research project must solve one particular well-formulated problem and must carry one clear message. The suggested research problems should meet the following requirements:
- A problem should have a novel solution, suggested by the expert or the course advisor (novelty).
- The solution of the problem should have a practical application, anticipated by a number of experts (importance).
- Ideally, the solution should influence the problem statements and research in the research area (significance and citations).
- The topic of the problem should correspond to some narrow field of Machine Learning and Data analysis.
- Completion of the tasks, associated with solving the problem, performing computational experiments, and the paper should take the planned amount of hours.
Evaluation criteria and key features of a nice paper
- The paper regards one particular problem, proposing a new and clear solution.
- The solution is theoretically justified. The properties of the proposed method are studied.
- The theoretical problem is illustrated with practical examples. The paper contains a comprehensive description of computational experiments with error analysis.
- The author understands to whom the paper is addressed. The author is able, after some publication analysis, to name a journal for submission.
Some indicators of a weakly stated problem
- An extensively researched problem is solved by a well-known method, though such a combination may not have been widely used (lack of novelty).
- A new solution to the problem is proposed, but the algorithm is tested on the UCI data (lack of importance).
- The solution is essentially a number of heuristics (lack of justification).
The project description template
- Title: a title of the paper to be submitted in a scientific journal.
- Problem: a short informal problem statement. An optimization (\(\text{arg}\min\) style) problem statement is welcome. Put a link to a classic problem statement, if any.
- Data: a brief description of your data set, a link to the data.
- References:List of the papers and supplementary materials, which includes a comprehensive problem statement, links to new results, comprehensive reviews in the field.
- Basic solution: a nearest simple algorithm, which solves the problem to start from.
- Method: a proposed solution to the problem with details about quality criteria and error analysis.
- Novelty: the main message conveys to the reader and to defend.
- Authors: the expert and the consultant. The link to the project is it has been started.
