===== Reading/Learning seminars in 2024 ===== ==== Fall semester ==== **Schedule** * Time: 1:15 - 2:45 pm, Wednesday * Dates: Oct 16, 23, 30; Nov 6, 13, 27; Dec 4, 11, 18; Jan 8, 15, 22, 29 * Room: Tachibana-Kaikan (near Koshibo) ===== Project-Based Learning Initiative: Guidelines and Instructions ===== This initiative aims to replace traditional book-based learning with hands-on, collaborative projects that allow you to explore advanced concepts in Graph Learning and Image Processing. Here are the detailed guidelines and instructions to ensure your project is well-structured and aligns with the initiative's goals: ==== 1. Group Structure ==== **Total Members:** 7 students, divided into two specialized groups. **Group A:** students focusing on //Graph Learning Research//. **ArchVision AI:** students focusing on //Image Processing Research//. ==== 2. Objective ==== The primary objective is to foster a shift from passive learning to active project-based learning. This approach enables you to: * Deepen theoretical understanding through practical application. * Engage in projects that align with your research focus area. ==== 3. Project Selection ==== **Criteria for Project Selection:** * Relevance to the group’s specific focus area (//Graph Learning// or //Image Processing//). * Should address a significant problem or explore an innovative concept. * Feasible to complete within a semester. **Example Project Idea:** //Using Neural Architecture Search to find the best architecture for image classification.// ==== 4. Project Execution ==== **Timeline:** Projects must be completed within one semester. **Collaboration Platform:** Use //GitHub// for version control **Roles of All Members:** * Research relevant papers and source code. * Contribute to the project’s codebase, documentation, and other materials on GitHub. * Participate in weekly meetings to discuss progress and address challenges. **Individual Responsibilities:** //Literature Review:// Each member is assigned specific resources to review and present summaries. //Code Implementation:// Members focus on different modules or features to ensure full project coverage. ==== 5. Expected Outcomes ==== **Minimum Outcome:** Successful replication of a recent research paper to code implementation. **Desired Outcomes (If possible):** Potential publication of robust and novel results in academic journals or conferences. ==== 6. Benefits of Project-Based Learning ==== **After completion****:** * Enhance coding and project management skills. * Develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities through real-world applications. * Build a portfolio on GitHub to showcase skills to potential employers. * Demonstrate teamwork and collaborative skills. **Resilience in Outcomes:** * Even if the project is not publishable, it serves as a valuable addition to your professional portfolio. ==== 7. Project Management and Evaluation ==== **Progress Tracking:** Use //GitHub Issues// and //Projects// to manage tasks, milestones, and deadlines. **Regular Check-ins:** Weekly meetings for updates, insights, and problem resolution. **Final Presentation:** At the semester's end, present the project outcomes, highlighting achievements, challenges, and lessons learned. Thank you.
