COMP 875 Project or Survey Paper

Progress report due: Tuesday, November 3

Submission: Email me a PDF document (around five pages)

If you are writing a survey paper, your progress report should be an (approximately) five-page draft. The draft should include a more or less complete reference list (20 to 40 references). Include placeholder sections or an outline for the parts of the paper you did not have time to complete yet.

If you are doing an implementation project, your progress report should include the following components:

Updated/refined problem definition: if there are any changes from your proposal, explain them here.
Summary of work already performed: specify what data and external code you used, and what you implemented yourself.
Preliminary results and findings: show some plots, pictures, etc. If you have run into unexpected challenges, or if your preliminary results have not been satisfactory, discuss possible causes and explain what steps you plan to take to improve the results.
Outline of work yet to be performed: Indicate the priority order of whatever remains to be implemented or tested. Include optional extensions or improvements.
