Feature Adaptation Let’s discuss, in order of name length The paper you drew inspiration from The construct being predicted in this paper The context/data set in this paper The feature you decided to adapt The feature you ended up creating Differences between the original paper’s feature and your feature The goodness of your feature in your data set

Posters Posters (“The Charrette”) You need to make a poster describing your project so far It could be on actual poster paper Or it could just be some regular paper taped on the wall in grid fashion

Posters Posters should describe Data set and where it came from What you’re trying to predict The current best model you have The features in that current best model Other features you’ve tried

Posters You also need to be ready to give a spiel about your poster and to answer questions Because I’m bringing in guests to critique your posters and your projects Your grade for the assignment will be based upon their opinion of your project

Posters It’s your responsibility to bring a way to display your poster to class Tape Easel Friend to hold it in the air Whatever you prefer
