Goal & deliverables

The goal of the project is to produce a ‘‘case study’’ section for the Web Textbook, as in here or here. The topics will be chosen by the instructor.

The deliverables consists in a single .zip file posted on bspace containing:

  • A 5-10 page project report detailing the case study. The report should be written preferably with jemdoc. (See more details below.)

  • All the figures (in .pdf format) and matlab files needed to reproduce the results.

  • A README file detailing

    • The names and SID's of the students involved.

    • The contents of the .zip file (names and short description of each file).

  • The name of the .zip file should be of the form <XXX>_EE127AF11.zip, where XXX is a tag for the project (such as TEXTSUM, see list of topics below). Example: TEXTSUM_EE127AF11.zip.

In addition the teams will be asked to present their work in a project session, which will be held either during reading week on 12/7, or during the time window reserved for the final on 12/15. (This is to be determined soon.)

Topics and teams

  • TEXTSUM (Scott Wilson, Sanjay Krishnau): Text summarization and application to the study of the Senate voting data.

  • MOPC (Jonathan Lee, Adam Resnick, Brandon Wong, Yizhou Wong, Raechel Tan, Jonathan Beard): Model predictive control and applications.

  • PORT (Kavin Phongpandecha): Portfolio optimization.

  • TRUSS (Henry Kagey): Truss structure optimization.

  • TRAFFIC (David Howard, Bobby Lee, Charles Wang): Traffic flow estimation.

  • IMAGE (Seo Kyung Kim): Image processing and compressed sensing.

  • FLUX (Chris Shymanksy): Flux analysis in biochemical reactions.

Logistics

  • Each project involves a team of 3-4 students.

  • Groups and topics should be decided no later than Friday October 28.

  • There will be a single project grade for each group.

  • Each student will receive extra points (up to 20% of the project grade) for producing one or two exercises that complement a chapter in the Web Textbook, as in here or here.

  • Projects will be discussed in class each Friday. You are expected to document your progress, discuss the difficulties you encounter, etc. Your final grade depends on your active involvement and self-pacing.
