Projects
Worked example briefs for the mid-term mini-project and the final project. Use one as given or adapt it; students may also propose another in the same spirit.
The mid-term is a convolutional-network project on an image task: build it, train it, run a controlled ablation, and report the findings. Pick one of the examples below or propose another in the same spirit. Datasets are suggestions; any comparable small image dataset works.
The final project takes a task end to end with any architecture family from the course. Work solo or in a pair: frame the task, build a suitable network, train and tune it, diagnose failures, and report results. The examples below span vision, sequences, and representation learning; or propose a variant instead.
