===== 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. Enjoy Learning
