You will be evaluated for 10 marks based on the progress you have made on your course project. At the mid-way stage, 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.

Make a video (like you did for your proposal) with a very brief introduction to your problem (1‐2 slides, just to refresh the viewer's memory—assume they have viewed your proposal video) 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. Try to wind up within 10 minutes; don't exceed 12 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 video is due for submission 11.55 p.m., Sunday, March 7. Your submission will not be evaluated (and will be given a score of zero) if it is not received by the deadline. Upload the video to the cloud and send the instructor the link by e-mail (one per team sufficient). You do not have to submit anything on Moodle. Your video will be shared with all the students of the class: it is a substitute for the "class presentation" you would have made in a regular semester.
