Description:

The course project is one of the main focuses of this seminar. It should be a credible investigation of a research problem related to incorporating data-driven models into the graphics pipeline. Generally speaking, projects should propose a method for solving a specific problem and then evaluate how well the method performs.

Students are encouraged to perform the course project in teams, however, students may work individually, if they wish.

Written Proposals (due Friday Oct 6):

A one-page written project proposal should be submitted for each project. The proposals should include enough detail to convince a reader that you've found a good problem, you understand how hard it is, you've mapped out a plan for how to attack it, and you have an idea about which experiments you might run to test the success of your implementation. Following is a brief outline you might follow:

Project Proposal Presentations (during class on Fri Oct 6):

Each student (or team of students) will give a 5-10 minute talk to present his/her course project proposal to the class (with slides and/or other props).  You should be sure to convince us that: 1) you are addressing an important problem, 2) you understand various approaches to the problem, 3) you have found an interesting approach to attack the problem, 4) you have a specific, detailed plan, and 5) you will know when you are done. 5-10 minutes is a very short amount of time. So, please come with a presentation that is concise and to-the-point.  You probably want to use around 6 slides following the outline above. 

Project Progress Presentations (during class on Fri Nov 10):

Each student (or team of students) will give a 5 minute talk reporting the (partial) results of his/her course project proposal to the class (with slides and/or other props) and possibly lead a short discussion about how best to proceed. Please focus the talk on the new progress and results, repeating the project goals/approach only as necessary.

Project Final Presentations (Thursday, Dec 14, 12-3pm in 228E Olsson):

Each student (team of students) should give a short presentation describing their project. Your goal should be to describe in 15 minutes what you have done and why it is interesting. If appropriate, please give a live demo.

Final Written Reports (due Thursday, Dec 14):

Each student (or team of students) should submit written final report following the same style/outline as a journal submission. It should contain descriptions of the goals of your project, a review of related work, detailed descriptions of what you did and why, and an analysis of your results. Following is a brief outline you might follow:
