PA026 is related to the course PB016 Artificial intelligence I. The topic choice and the programming language used is not limited in any way, it is up to the student choice. The course is given in English. Presentations and project documentation can be in English, Czech or Slovak.

Timetable

Thu 14:00-15:50

Contents

Study a selected area of artificial intelligence.
Working on a project independently or in a group.

Evaluation

During the semester, the student will:

independently propose a project topic, which he/she consults with the lecturer (one week before the first presentation, i.e. by February 23). In addition to general topics, it is also possible to address a project with Pepper the robot. The topic must represent a new work, not something already finished. Projects can also be solved in groups of 2 people, in such case the work description needs to address each author separately in the presentations.
prepare an analysis of the project and present a short report
implement the project, consult with the lecturer during the implementation and present the implementation process
at the end of the semester evaluate the result, prepare the documentation for the implemented project and present the project results in action.

The colloquium is passed after the successful completion of this procedure.

Presentations

Joint presentations will take place on the following dates. For each date the expected stage of project development and the content of the presentation is described. Even if there are delays in implementation, please prepare a presentation on the date, showing the current status and specifying both the reasons of the delay and a description of how you will address them. If working in a group, only one student gives the presentation and describes the details of the work division.

Upload the presentations before the specified deadline to the appropriate homework vault/odevzdávárna. Along with the last presentation, upload an archive with the completed project and documentation. Presentations and project documentation can be in English, Czech or Slovak.

March 2:
- analysis of the chosen topic
- if in a group - division of work
- overview of existing solutions
- selected programming language
- available programming libraries
- preliminary plan for evaluation of results
March 30:
- current progress of implementation (main functions finished)
- if in a group - division of work
- description of remaining problems to be solved
April 27:
- implementation finished
- if in a group - division of work
- the current contribution of the project in relation to other solutions
- description of how the evaluation and testing will be carried out
May 18:
- final project
- if in a group - division of work
- evaluation and testing results
- documentation (all in one PDF file):

The completed project can also be submitted (uploaded to the 4th presentation folder) later. After the submission, send an e-mail with the information to the lecturer and count on 1-2 weeks for requesting feedback or evaluation.
