Conference (poster or spotlight):
Your poster or spotlight should present all aspects of your
project. That is, it should motivate your problem, describe your
solution, and display your results. Posters: you will have about 4
minutes to give your pitch to the Professor/TAs. Spotlights: you will
have 8 minutes to give your talk.
Please be sure that you clearly present the connection of your project
to optimization and the concepts you learned from class. You should
state what work is your own and reference prior work that you build
on. Be sure that all your figures are clear, using large lines, and
labeled in a big font.
Poster boards will be 40 in x 30 in, so you should print no larger
than that; ideally you would print a poster that is slightly smaller.
For students with an SCS account, you can find information on printing
posters here.
Final report:
Your write up should be in the style of a research article that you
would submit to a conference or a journal. Be sure that you clearly
present the connection of your project to optimization and the
concepts you learned from class. You should state what work is your
own and reference prior work that you build on. Also be sure that all
your figures are clear and (if intended) are of high-enough resolution
to see fine details. The report should be limited to 8 pages,
excluding references (no appendix allowed), and should be in NIPS 2018
style.
Again, please email one copy of your final report per project to your
TA mentor, with the Professor cc'd. Also, submit a copy of your final
report on Gradescope.
