In groups of 2-4 students. Exceptions for groups of single students will be made if you are already doing research with a professor in the department on a relevant topic and/or are a PhD student already doing relevant work (form coming soon).
We will provide details on compute resources and project expectations soon.
The project will be broken down into 3 steps throughout the semester (more details coming soon).
All students in a group will get the same grade, barring exceptional circumstances.
The project should propose and make first steps towards implementing a new project that would extend a clearly identified past research contribution. Your goal is not to summarize the background work. We want you to build creatively on what you’ve read and learned this semester.
