You will be evaluated for 10 marks based on the progress you have made on your course project. At the mid-way stage (delayed by a few weeks this semester), you ought to have implemented baselines, shown a proof of concept, or reached some early milestones in the roadmap (depending on the task at hand). Quite simply, you will be evaluated based on the progress you can demonstrate.

Provide a brief introduction to your problem (1‐2 slides, just to refresh the viewer's memory—assume they have seen your proposal) and a presentation of the results you have obtained by the mid-way stage. You can thereafter discuss what ideas worked, what did not, and conclude by listing concrete steps towards finishing. Wind up within 7 minutes; don't exceed 8 minutes.

Unlike the proposal (and the upcoming final presentation), no marks are set aside for presentation quality, literature survey, etc. While you should still ensure that the presentation holds well together, the emphasis will be on results. If you have worked hard but simply could not obtain positive results, describe your efforts and discuss why they might have failed. You will be awarded marks so long as you undertook reasonable steps as you went along. (If every step you took turned out to be the right one, you are an unusually lucky researcher!)

Your presentation will be done in class Thursday, March 9. You do not have to submit anything on Moodle. Send the instructor a link to your presentation/material on the cloud by 6.00 p.m., Thursday, March 9, so no time is lost during transitions in class. Save your files in pdf format.
