Deadline

Nov 23, 2021 at 11:59:59 PM (Only one submission per group).

What you need to do?

There are two parts in this assignment: A report and a Video.

Report

You also need to make a high conference/journal quality report on the progress made so far. It should include the following (with appropriate section headings):

• Informative Title
• Names of the team members along with affiliations
• Abstract
• Introduction
• Related work (this has to be up to date with proper reference indexing and formatting following IEEE standards, you can use .bib files to make your life easier). You should also have appropriate descriptions of the papers cited.
• Problem Definition and Contributions (state your assumptions or simplifications made here along with your contributions)
• Methodology (add approporiate section titles)
• Experiments (along with evaluation methodology and results: images and/or tables)
• Conclusions
• Distribution of work amongst team-members on the entire project, not just the report/presentation.

I will grade you on the content and presentation quality of your report, particularly images, math, algorithms and related work.

Video

Make a video in at-least 1920x1080 resolution at 30fps and a maximum of 3 minutes talking about your approach and demonstration. The video needs to have a voiceover and should not be just a re-recording of the slides. It has to be visually appealing to watch with a nice story. Use a professional software to edit videos such as Adobe Premiere Pro or Quicktime or iMovie or Final Cut Pro. You can use Terpware to download some of these softwares. Feel free to use free alternatives to these paid tools as well. For recording audio, use a good quality mirophone and remove the noise using a software like Audacity. For screen recording, use softwares that do not add a watermark such as Camtasia. Your video is what grabs audience to read your paper, this in a lot of cases is more important than the paper itself. A sample video of one of my projects that was highlighted by IEEE Spectrum can be seen here and the coverage by Voice of America can be seen here. Be sure to provide Video courtesy if you use videos from someone else. I will grade you on the quality of your video and how compelling the story is to the layperson.

What you need to submit?

Report

A report in double column IEEE format (maximum of 6 pages) in LaTeX per group compiled into .pdf. I will deduct 25 points if I get multiple submissions from the same group (submitted by more than one person from your group not multiple iterations submitted by the same person). Your report should be of this quality in-terms of content detail (with appropirate math and algorithmic details). Particularly, I expect the report to have mathematical equations (typeset in LaTeX not images obviously) describing your approach. If your approach is more algorithmic, then use algorithm (or some other similar package) package in LaTeX to format algorithms.

Your report should include the aforementioned sections as well.
You can use any LaTeX tool you like, I would recommend Overleaf as it is free and you can use it to collaborate online. If you are new to LaTeX, you can learn from this awesome tutorial from Overleaf. Alternatively, if you want to work locally, you can use any of these editors. The LaTeX template can be found here.

Video

Your video file in the format in .mp4 format complying to the above instructions.

Submission File

Both the report and the video should be zipped together and submitted via ELMS.
