Final Paper & Presentation
Final Paper
The final paper should be 10 to 20 pages, plus references, coolhunting results, and code snippets when appropriate. The total number of pages also depends on the type of project, for a coolhunting project, the paper is typically longer, for a system development project, it can be shorter and basically just describe the system, for a statistics project it should document the main insights. Paper writing tips are in the final paper examples below - there you will also find the submission template:
Final Paper Structure
introduction - what is the problem
related work - what have others done so far
hypotheses - what are we trying to prove or disprove
method - how are we doing it
results - what have we found
discussion - how does it compare to what others have already found
weaknesses of the research, and possible future work
Final Presentation
Each team prepare a presentation on 15-20 slides with the following structure and present it in 10-12 minutes (plus 3 minutes Q&A):
Goals of the project
Related work (what others have done in the same area)
Work process (how did you organize your work)
Results
Possible extensions
What worked well/ what could have been done better (both from the team perspective, and for the instructors)
