Project: Machine Learning CSCI 5622

The project is worth 25% OR 40% of your final mark – it’s your choice…

• 25% if you complete homework 2.
• 40% if you do not complete homework 2. Obviously a 40% project should involve more work than a 25% project.

Your project can consist of any of the following:

1. Using off the self machine learning algorithms (i.e. anything you can download) on a new problem domain. For example
• SVM regression for Human-to-robot skill transfer
2. Implementing and evaluating any algorithm published at NIPS (www.nips.cc, see http://books.nips.cc/ ) that we have NOT covered in class.
3. Formulating a new algorithm and evaluating it. You should attempt to justify the algorithm.

You should begin to choose a topic immediately! Email me if you have questions.

The project will be due on Dec. 12.
