Project Proposal

Cyber Analytics and Intelligence: Project Proposal

As a part of the assigned work for this course, we are requiring you to complete a project of your own choosing that is based on the material of this course. The premise of the project must be closely related to some aspect of the material but may explore an avenue that was left unaddressed in class.

Project type and policies

There are various types of projects you can consider:

  1. The project may be very practical in terms of applying techniques you have learned in the course to a real problem such as classification of email messages
  2. The project may involve designing or adapting existing algorithms to a novel class of problems. For example, how might we solve multiple related classification tasks? How can we improve document clustering by designing a new clustering metric?
  3. The project may consist of a theoretical analysis of a method we have discussed. For example, this may be in terms of complexity, convergence, etc.
  4. The project can be a theoretical or more applied survey of a branch of machine learning that we didn’t go through in detail. For example, you may write about the use of machine learning in different domains.

The project can be related to your research area (if you have one).

You can collaborate with other students. If you do, we ask that you outline the role of each person in the project. Projects involving more than one person have to scale in “size” with the number of people.

The requirement of the research project is to conduct machine learning techniques using a Weka package or other available programs. You can use any packages or any programming language.

Data can be collected from public domains or from your company. examples of available data:

 

Project Proposal

In order to help guide your choice of a project, we are requiring you to submit a brief proposal (at most one-page, 12-point font, single spacing, 1 inch margins) that describes the idea for a project, the work you intend to perform, and all the people involved in the project. In particular, it should identify the project type, the problem you plan to address, the motivation for why you find the problem important or interesting, any previous work you already know about, and a rough tentative approach to solving the problem (if applicable)

 

Final Report

In the final report, you shouldn’t just say what you did but also why it was a reasonable thing to do given the course material. The final report should include about four (4) pages of text (not including figures) in the IEEE conference template (Conference-template-A4.doc).
