 +The full description of the final project is [[http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~cs366/private/assignments/project-proposal.pdf | here]].
  
 The final project is the main assignment of the second half of the course. Final projects can be done individually or in groups of 2 people. Group projects are expected to be more substantial than individual ones. All projects are required to be related in a substantive way to at least one of the central topics of the course. The main components are as follows: The final project is the main assignment of the second half of the course. Final projects can be done individually or in groups of 2 people. Group projects are expected to be more substantial than individual ones. All projects are required to be related in a substantive way to at least one of the central topics of the course. The main components are as follows:
  
-  *  **Project milestone (due April 20, 11:59pm)** -- a short overview of your project including at least the following information:+  *  ** In-class preliminary project description (April 23)** -- a short overview of your project including at least the following information:
      *  A statement of the project's goals      *  A statement of the project's goals
-     *  A summary of previous approaches (i.e., what you have found in the literature)+     *  A (very brief) summary of previous approaches (i.e., what you have found in the literature)
      *  The resources you will use (corpora, lexicons, etc.) and a clear indication of what you may need to do to get them in a form appropriate for your project (e.g., annotate, extract features, render in ARFF, etc.)       *  The resources you will use (corpora, lexicons, etc.) and a clear indication of what you may need to do to get them in a form appropriate for your project (e.g., annotate, extract features, render in ARFF, etc.)

-  * **Presentations (May 5 and 10)** -- We'll use the last sessions of the course for in-class final project presentations. Please use the [[http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~cs366/private/assignments/presentation-template.pdf | presentation template]] provided. If not completed, the presentation should overview the preliminary results and the plan for the final results. +
-  * **Final project (due May 16 ABSOLUTE DEADLINE)** -- There are two types of papers, each with slightly different requirements: +
-    * //Research papers//, which should contain clear sections describing  +
-        * the problem you are addressing; +
-        * your hypothesis or proposed solution (if you are implementing someone else's solution, where you got the idea from); +
-        * alternative solutions, including solutions found in the literature and a baseline that you are comparing your solution to; +
-        * your methodology; +
-        * your evaluation; +
-        * some discussion of what your results imply for your hypothesis/problem. +
-    * //Implementation papers//, where you do a big semantic data labeling project (or similar). Here you want clear sections describing +
-        * the data you are labeling; +
-        * description of and rationale for the annotation scheme used; +
-        * your methodology (what you did, how you did it, what tools were used etc.); +
-        * an evaluation of results; +
-        * a discussion of what you learned.+
  
 +  * **Poster Presentations (May 14)**
