1 Summary
1.1 Topics
In this project, we invite you to form a group of one to four students to participate in the recent research
and real-world applications of artificial intelligence. We offer a selection of topics from which each group
may choose one to form a project. The topics are from four categories:
1
1. LR: Literature Review - investigate the theoretical and mathematical foundations, recent advances,
current challenges and future directions of a topic.
2. MR: Methods Research - investigate existing methods for specific tasks, benchmark the methods, and
explore possible improvements.
3. IC: Industrial and Clinical Applications of AI - apply cutting-edge artificial intelligence methods on
real-world problems.
4. SS: Suggested by Students - propose your own projects, set up your own goals and accomplish them.
The proposed projects may belong to any of the above categories.
In the table below, we propose a list of 13 topics into three categories (LR, MR, IC). Your group need to
choose one topic out of these 13 to form a project. You may propose your own project. Please read Section

2 Project Background
This assignment aims to provide the students with the experience of research and real-world applications of
artificial intelligence related to Mechatronics and adjacent fields. In this section, we introduce the background
for each type of projects in this assignment.
2.1 Literature Review
A literature review is a critical analysis of published literature that present the current knowledge including
substantive findings as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to a particular topic. It is an
assessment of the literature and provides a summary, classification, comparison and evaluation, and often the
first step towards solving any complex real-world problems. Although literature review is offered as project
category in this assignment, all other projects include a portion of reviewing existing methods.
For the groups choosing a topic from the LR category, each student is expected to read in detail at least
5 research papers from the recent decade. You are required to understand the overarching mathematical
principles, problem formulation and categorize literature according to the high-level ideas. This should also
be complemented with your logical assessments of the state-of-the-art methods, the status-quo of the domain,
and potential improvements or gap areas.
For MR and IC topics, the students will also read recent research papers, identify the cutting-edge
methods, and apply them in practice. The goal of the literature review in this case is to justify your
selection of methods or analysis procedures. For instance, you may find rationale in literature to use certain
pre-processing techniques, model architectures and training methods. To support the rigor of these selections,
you are free to cite existing literature and findings. Conversely, any such choice in your approaches should
be well-supported in literature where applicable.
2.2 Method Research
The second step towards solving any complex real-world problems is to select the set of tools for the prob-
lems or similar ones. In the case of artificial intelligence, the tools are methods, algorithms or models. Any
selection should be well-supported by literature and often your own experiments. The performance of mod-
els is typically first evaluated on a benchmark set of datasets using standard metrics. For example, image
classification is one typical type of problems that enjoys a wide variety of real-world applications including
photo and video categorization, visual search engine, product recommendation, self-driving automotive, and
disease diagnosis. Image classifiers are often benchmarked on datasets such as ImageNet, SVHN, Object-
Net before applications on any specific datasets in considered problems. The benchmark results motivate
researchers to further develop their methods and also provide certain insurance for practitioners especially
on problems with insufficient labels.
For MR topics, we encourage students to implement or evaluate recently proposed methods on benchmark
datasets. For model comparison, the same experiment setup should be applied to all methods for fairness.
For example, to compare model efficiency, all models should be executed on the same or similar devices. To
3
investigate the effects of components of a method, e.g., the normalization method in each layer, an ablation
study is often required that removes the considered component. At last, a systematic study of different
hyper-parameter settings needs to be conducted for increased rigor in your findings.
For the MR and IC projects in this assignment, you may use existing libraries (e.g., TensorFlow, Keras)
or online resources (e.g., GitHub) to implement algorithms. Sometimes, you may need to implement the
algorithm or modify the existing implementation by yourselves.
2.3 Industrial and Clinical Applications
At this stage, we apply the selected methods on real-world industrial and clinical problems. The big difference
between real-world datasets and the benchmark datasets are that benchmark datasets are often deliberately
curated to evaluate certain merits of methods while in practice, there is a greater level of uncertainties in the
data, e.g., the features may be noisy (not certainly Gaussian noise), the labels may be arbitrarily wrong (not
according to any distribution), there may be outliers that are often associated with wrong measurements.
As a result, models robust to noise and data preprocessing methods such as outlier detection may be of
significance in practice. In addition, for real datasets, domain knowledge certainly helps building a better
model while on benchmark datasets, we sometimes ignore the domain knowledge in order to achieve a general
model.
For IC projects, students are expected to apply existing methods and come up with creative solutions to
analyzing a real-world dataset. From benchmarks in literature, you may not find a consensus on what is the
‘best’ model for your problem. Therefore, we encourage you to find several candidate models, apply them
and modify them with any domain knowledge. As mentioned previously, students are encouraged to take
advantages of any online resources.
3 Project Protocols
Students should follow the protocols below for this group assignment:
• This project may be finished by a group of students where each student should contribute roughly
equally to the expected outcomes (report, presentation and code if applicable). Each group should
have one to at most four students.
• For LR projects, each student in the group is expected to read in detail at least five research papers
published in the recent decade (2010-2020). Additionally, you may cite other resources (papers, blogs,
GitHub repositories) of any time where it is merited to explain founding concepts.
• For MR and IC projects, we do encourage each group to explore several models and tune the hyper-
parameters to get as good performance as possible. Note that this would take a significant amount of
time, so do not wait until the last week to do the experiments. However, due to the limited Spartan
resources, we suggest each group do not submit more than 4 jobs (or request more than 4 GPUs) at
the same time.
• For LR projects, students may follow any review papers to learn academic writing and organization
of materials. For MR and IC projects, students may use any pre-trained models and existing code on
GitHub, Canvas, or other platform. However, copying published work (texts, figures, tables, etc) into
your reports or sharing any part of the outcomes among different groups of this subject is considered
plagiarism and is strictly prohibited.
In this assignment, each group of students are also welcomed to propose their own project (labelled
under SS) and invite any one of the three coordinates to be your group coordinate. The SS projects may
roughly belong to any of three topic categories, namely, literature review, method research or applications.
The SS projects should be challenging, and ideally relevant to deep learning or machine learning techniques
introduced in this subject. For the SS projects, the group should follow the same protocols above and finish
the expected outcomes listed in Section 4 Expected Deliverables.
4
4 Expected Deliverables
Each group should have one to four students and finish the following tasks for the chosen project:
1. An initial report, which may be extended into the final report;
2. A short presentation submitted as a video record;
3. A final report.
For students working on MR and IC projects, Python code and result files (e.g., saved models if applicable)
also need to be submitted. For students working on Project IC.2. Kaggle Competition: Forecasting Global
Daily Confirmed COVID-19 Cases, the submission results on the Kaggle websites need to be submitted as
a screenshot. For students proposing their own projects, a project proposal need to be submitted.
For all written submissions including project proposal, initial report and final report, we only accept
PDF file format. You may use LaTeX (OverLeaf) or any office software (Microsoft Word, Google Doc, etc.)
to generate a PDF. We recommend Times New Roman or Cambria font, with 14pt for section titles, 10-12pt
size single spacing for main text, 8-9pt for any captions or illustrations of figures and tables. For references,
the APA Citation Style is recommended. The page limits for written submissions do not include references
(you may provide as many reference as you want) and optional appendices (if applicable, you may provide
in appendices the mathematical derivations, theoretical proof, method details, supplementary experiments,
figures and tables that cannot fit into the main text, but please note that the appendix will not be scored).
In the following, we describe each deliverable in detail.
Project proposal Students who wish to propose their own projects should submit a project proposal by
6:00 pm on Wednesday 6th May 2020. The proposal should ideally be from half-page to one-page.
It should explain the impact, scope and measurable outcomes of the SS projects (see Appendix A.4 for
definitions) and advise the name of the coordinator your group would like to nominate.
Initial report In this task, the group is required to submit an initial report including the following content:
• Description and understanding of the project topic, methods and/or datasets;
• Review of existing methods to solve this or similar problems;
• Proposed assumption, hypothesis and/or solution towards solving this problem;
• Progress and the plan (including task allocation for each student in the group).
The initial report has a maximum two-page limit which includes main text, tables and figures but excludes
references and appendix. The initial report is due at 6:00 pm on Friday 15th May 2020.
In your initial report as well as the final report, a highly logical flow should be presented in academic
English. Ideally, your reports should assume that the reader has no extensive prior knowledge of your
problem and your approach. For claims you are not observing in the results presented in your report, please
cite references. Striking a good balance between the rigor and clarity will be highly rewarded in our grading.
Short presentation In this task, each group is required to give a presentation on the current progress,
results and conclusions. The presentation should cover the following topics:
• Description and understanding of the project topic, methods and/or datasets;
• Ideas, hypotheses, current progress, results and conclusions;
• If applicable, encountered problems and possible solutions;
• Future work to be done before final submission.
Each group should nominate at least one member to do the presentation and submit it before 6:00 pm
on Sunday 24th May 2020. The presenter(s) should have full consent from the rest member(s) of the
group. The presentation should ideally last about 6 to 8 minutes. The presentation should be submitted as a
video in any standard format, e.g., AVI, MP4, MPEG, WAV, etc. Please note that the quality or resolution
5
of video and audio should not be a concern here, as long as the presented content is visible on screen and
the audio can be easily understood. Thus, there is no need to use a camcorder to record the video. Instead,
we suggest using the camera and speaker of a laptop or phone and software such as Zoom. Please note that
there is no need to show the presenter(s) in the video if the slides are focused on.
If the video turns out to be too large to submit to Canvas, please submit a link to the video shared via
any file-hosting platform like OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc., and be sure to give the coordinators
access to it.
Code files (Where applicable) Please compress all your code and relevant resultant files into a zip file
and submit it to Canvas along with the final report. Although you may use any language/platform, we
highly recommend Python (3.6 or newer) and Tensorflow (2.1 or newer).
Submission result on Kaggle For students working on Project IC.2 Kaggle Competition: Forecasting
Global Daily Confirmed COVID-19 Cases, please upload a screen-shot of your final Kaggle submission results
along with your final report. Please note that, to get these submission results, you have to first register an
account on Kaggle if you have not done so previously.
Final report The final report should be a self-sustained explanation of your project in at least four pages.
You may extend your initial report to the final report. Please submit the final report before 6:00 pm on
Friday 5th June 2020.

the following section structure is recommended:
1. Section 1 Introduction: problem definition and significance, and scope of review.
2. Section 3: Related Work : In this section, please summarize literature and their rationale in a
organized structure. There should be a logical flow between methods and paragraphs. You should
discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the methods. You may draw contrasts as to which methods
are best suited for which specific scenarios, etc.
3. Section 4: Discussion: In this section, please summarize your findings and give an assessment on the
status quo. Ideally, you may find some gap areas where more research needs to be done.
We encourage you to construct a report in the following structure for MR or IC projects:
1. Section 1: Introduction: Problem definition and significance.
2. Section 2: Related Work: Review of methods in literature which should ideally support your choice
of approaches.
3. Section 3: Methods: Describe your approach in detail. You may provide algorithm blocks or flowcharts
if needed.
