As part of this class, students will learn about the methodology of conducting a research project on practical use-cases in the field of machine learning, image processing, robotics or computer vision, from the bibliography to the final abstract preparation and conference presentation. The students will select a research project among those proposed by the academic team, which will either be the replication of a research paper, the application of a state-of-the-art methodology to a known problem, or the design of a new solution to a known problem from the state-of-the-art. From this project, the students will start with surveying the state-of-the-art, then designing a methodology to solve the problem (or replicate the results), learning to implement this methodology, and lastly learning how to evaluate and present the results. Finally, the students will prepare a small abstract summarizing their research, and we will organize a small conference-like session where the students will review each-other’s paper and present their work.
