Assignment 5: Final Project Writeup (8-12 pgs) & Presentation.
Due Dec 8.
Evaluation. Using the literature discussed in Week 10 and
in Chapter 19 of Jurafsky & Martin, evaluate your
system. Minimally, this should include a case study describing an
intended interaction with the system, and an actual instance of
user testing.
Final Paper. The write-up should address all of the following
points:
- Evaluation. Report on your evaluation study.
- Post Mortem. Describe the outcome of your project. What
worked and what didn't? Discuss the problems and successes that you
encountered in every step of the project, from design, to execution to
evaluation. Discuss which issues had to do with the discourse
phenomena that you depended on, and which derived from purely
technical issues.
- Limitations? Did you feel that the toolkit imposed
limitations on your system? Explain.
- Draw Inferences to the Real World. Think about how the
available technology might reflect real-world limitations in research
and commercial applications. What would you have liked to do if the
technology were available?
- Related Work. Discuss a minimum of four papers, and how
they relate to your project. Choose two from the discourse theory side
and two from the computational modeling side; These can be papers
discussed in class, papers from the recommended reading list, or
outside reading (with approval).
Presentations. Summarize your project and your final
paper in a presentation to the class.
