Grading

You will be evaluated based on student presentations (40%) and a substantial semester-long project (60%). The project must include at least one big data set, at least one learning/mining algorithm, and a real-world application. For the project, you will need to prepare a proposal, give a presentation at the end of the semester, and write a final report. More details will be provided in class.
