PROJECT EVALUATION CRITERIA [100pts]

  • Novelty [20pts] : Either the problem you are trying to solve has to be novel or the solution has to be novel. If both are novel that is probably the best.
  • Implementation [20pts] : As I mentioned before, I will assign points also based on the implementation you have done to demonstrate your ideas.
  • Evaluation [20pts] : A lot of it is about showing that what you are doing or have done improved the state of the art along a particular dimension. So, evaluation, both doing it and showing good results will have impact on your grade. nbsp;
  • Report [20pts] : I will give 20 points to the report. Good reports should have identified a clear problem, state it either formally or otherwise. They also need to have good pictures to illustrate the problem and suggest new directions. Appropriate evaluation methodologies need to be described, followed by results. I also want to see extensive related work for the particular problem you are attempting to solve.
  • Presentation [20pts] : I will give some weightage to the presentation. 15 minute presentations (2 minute motivation, 5 minute design/implementation and 5 minute results and 3 minute questions). If two students worked on the project, I would like to give equal weightage to both for presenting the work. I would expect a little better presentation for the two person project than a single person one.
  • Paper-worthy submission : Extra 25 points. If your project report can be submitted to a top conference/workshop without too much extra effort, I will add another 25 points.
