Project Assignment - Githubissues

I wanted to compile a list of all known requirements, suggestions, deadlines, etc about the ML project from Prof. Gentine here.

Deliverables: Grade will determined based on two assignments.

In class presentation: [due Dec 6] Brief (5 min) presentation on the project. Should be a maximum of 5 slides that cover the following information:
1. introduction and importance of the problem
2. data to be used
3. choices of algorithms
4. potential challenges (if any)
5. conclusion
Project report: [due Dec 21] Requirements for this aren't entirely clear to me, I can't find a document outlining how this report should be structured anywhere. I imagine it would mirror the structure of the presentation, but go into greater depth. It should provide an explanation of the GitHub repo, which will also be turned in.
GitHub repo: [due Dec 21] I don't think there's any specific requirements here, but they will want to evaluate our code. The report should be a companion to the repo.

Point of this project isn't the science; although there may be interesting science going on in the datasets we pick, this is not what they will be focusing on for evaluation.
Instead, they will be focusing on how we use and compare different models, our ability to conduct hyperparameter tuning based on the specifics of the dataset, picking a good model based on the characteristics of the dataset and science question, etc. In other words, the dataset is an excuse to compare different machine learning methods -- this is the primary goal.
