ASSIGNMENT 7

For this assignment, students will write a report on the machine learning approach they have chosen in class. The report should give enough background on the topic that a person not familiar with AI would get an understanding of that particular technique, and a person familiar with AI would be able to write a program using that technology. The report will also serve as a basis for the presentation (see Assignment 8). Techniques chosen so far are:

TechniqueStudent
Instance Based Learning Payson Lippert
Instance Based Learning Mohammed Alobayshi
Clustering Nathaniel Lewis
Clustering Alexander Reid
Rule Based Learning Darron Martinez
Rule Based Learning Kendall Schmit
Decision Trees Joseph Beaudry
Decision Trees Max Austin
Artificial Neural Networks Vernon Foley
Artificial Neural Networks Kodi Neumiller
Genetic Algorithms Michael Fryer
Genetic Algorithms Trevor Brooks

The report should be 15-20 pages double-spaced, and turned in both electronically and on paper. In researching the topic, I expect you to go beyond what is found on wikipedia. You may use web references, but I do expect you to delve into actual research papers also. Google Scholar is one good site to search, as are many of the websites of professional organizations (IEEE, ACM, AAAI, etc.). The standard written evaluation form found on the department web site will be used to assess the reports. The link is found toward the bottom of the page at: Standard Written Evaluation Form
Submission. Submit the electronic version of your paper via Moodle. Also be sure to print your paper and turn in the hardcopy!
