COSC2675 Rapid Application Development
The goal of this assignment is to develop your skill in reading the data analytics literature. Being able to read and understand journal and conference papers and to critique them is an essential skill in your education in data mining, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Also, you can take this skill to other areas of computing.
You will write a report on the paper you choose. Your report will explain in your own words what the paper is about and will critique it. Your report should be in one of the two formats: Format 1: around 10 pages in 11 or 12 point single line spaced text with NO table of contents or title page and the following structure:
Title Introduction
Content Describe in your own words what the paper is about. Some of the things you can consider here are: What area of machine learning or data mining is the paper concerned with? Does the title of the paper correspond to the content? What data mining or data analytics methods are considered in the paper?
Innovation How innovative is the research work in the paper? Here you should describe the “novelty” of the paper. What does the paper contribute: a new method? an algorithm? a methodology? a comparison between methods? or something else?
Technical quality How would you rate the technical quality of the work in the paper? Here you should consider the quality of the work done. For example, a paper comparing classifiers on the basis of their accuracy on a training set would be of poor quality because generally the accuracy measured on a training set is higher than the actual test error. Other indicators of poor quality might be that the results in the paper could not be replicated by someone reading the paper (because they were not described clearly enough); a comparison was made between two things but the two things couldn’t fairly be compared; or conclusions were drawn from too few experiments.
Application and X-factor Do you think the application domain is appropriate for the propose technique? What other application domains could the research work be applied? Also in this section, give a couple of suggestions for further developments of the research work. Do you think the work described in the paper could spark a good discussion in class? What did you find interesting about the work?
Presentation How would you rate the quality of the presentation of the paper? Things you could consider here include: how easy it was to follow the argument in the paper; presentation style; depth of the argument; and clarity of the presentation.
References To answer the questions above in your report you will need to read other books or papers. List any references to other papers and books you read here. Referencing should be in the Harvard format.
Format 2: The contents are similar to those in Format 1, but organised in individual cells of a Jupyter notebook. An example will be shown on class in Week 1.
Due date 11:59pm 31 Aug 2018
How to submit Please submit using the UTS Online in the Assignments folder. If you choose Format 2, you should print out the jupyter notebook as a PDF to submit, as well as provide a link or attachment of your ipynb file.
Extensions may be granted for assignments after consultation with the Subject Coordinator before the 11:59pm 24 Aug 2018.
A late penalty of up to 50% may be applied unless prior arrangements have been made with the subject coordinator. If your performance in an assessment item or items has been affected by extenuating or special circumstances beyond your control you may apply for Special Consideration.

Academic Standards Please see the subject outline for details on the ethical standards we expect from you.
Hours An average student should expect to spend around 20 hours to get a 50P result on this assignment.
Marking Scheme Your report will be marked based on how well you address each of the issues on the previous page as well as the quality of your report. Note that the teaching team will take the technical difficulty of the paper you choose into consideration when performing assessment. That is, we will try to maintain a consistent criteria among students regarding to the effort, skill and quality in reading, understanding the literature and presenting your own critics in reports, but regardless the paper being read (as long as the paper is from our list or you have discussed the choice with the teaching team).
