Course:CPSC522/MarchApril2016

March/April Assignment

Your third and final assignment is to create a hypothesis related to the course and test it. Your result should describe the hypothesis and whether it works. The reader should be able to understand the background, what the the hypothesis is, whether the hypothesis is true, and the evidence you used to come to this conclusion. Your hypothesis can be theoretical or practical.

Extra Rules

• You need to follow the rules on the main page and you should follow the guidelines there.
• Each page should have a principle author. You do not need co-authors but can have co-authors; co-authorship is encouraged. If others help you with your page, you should help them too.
• You need to add your page to the table of contents in a position that makes sense. Fell free to edit and change the structure of the table of content to give it a coherent structure.
• You will need to give a presentation of approximately 6 minutes + 2 minutes for questions; do not go over! If you would like to give a presentation during term time please contact David. For those who do not want to present during class time, we will have a presentation session during exam time.
• If you want to choose a topic that is related to other previous or current courses you need to negotiate with the instructor(s) to make sure you are not counting the same work multiple times.
• You should refer to wiki pages and to other research papers as appropriate.

Marking Scheme

Here are some questions to take into account marking. This is subject to change. Feel free to add questions, and edit the questions if they do not make sense.

• The topic is relevant for the course.
• The writing is clear and the English is good.
• The page is written at an appropriate level for CPSC 522 students (where the students have diverse backgrounds).
• The formalism (definitions, mathematics) was well chosen to make the page easier to understand.
• The abstract is a concise and clear summary.
• There were appropriate (original) examples that helped make the topic clear.
• There was appropriate use of (pseudo-) code.
• It had a good coverage of representations, semantics, inference and learning (as appropriate for the topic).
• It is correct.
• It was neither too short nor too long for the topic.
• It was an appropriate unit for a page (it shouldn't be split into different topics or merged with another page).
• It links to appropriate other pages in the wiki.
• The references and links to external pages are well chosen.
• I would recommend this page to someone who wanted to find out about the topic.
• This page should be highlighted as an exemplary page for others to emulate.

If I was grading it out of 20, I would give it:
