This course produces student research papers. It gathers research teams. Each team combines a student, a consultant, and an expert. The student is a project driver who wants to plunge into scientific research activities. The graduate student consultant conducts the research and helps the student. The expert, a professor, states the problem and enlightens the road to the goal.

  • A student is willing to learn to formally state research problems, find adequate references, and generate novel and significant problem-solving ideas.
  • An advisor helps the student with technical issues, consults on machine learning topics, promptly reacts to arising problems, and performs evaluations and grading. Each advisor is supposed to possess sufficient publishing experience. Ideally, the advisor is writing a paper on the adjacent topic. Organizing the weekly reviewing process is recommended so that a student would input the corrections himself.
  • An expert guarantees the novelty and importance of the paper, suggests the problems, and provides data.

Teaching materials

  1. Set up this year's folder, project list template, and group table template.
  2. Invite experts to put their project descriptions on the page or collect them by mail.
  3. Introduce the experts and the consultants if needed (check if each project has its proper consultant).
  4. Revise all project descriptions and assess feasibility and impactfulness. Does each project fit this course?
