In this section, look to provide a high-level overview of the project in layman’s terms. Questions to ask yourself when writing this section:
- Has an overview of the project been provided, such as the problem domain, project origin, and related datasets or input data?
- Has enough background information been given so that an uninformed reader would understand the problem domain and following problem statement?
Монголчууд хурдан моринд дуртай байдаг. Морь уралдуулах нь маш эртнээс өвлөгдөж ирсэн Монголын ард түмний нэг үнэт зүйл юм.
Сайн морь их үнэ цэнэтэй байдаг. Морийг гаднаас нь хараад таньж тодорхойлоход их хэцүү байдаг. Туршлагатай өвгөчүүл гэхдээ гаднаас нь хараад мэддэг.
Энэ төслөөр би морины зурган дээрээс биеийн үндсэн харьцааг тодорхойлох програм хийх зорилт тавьсан юм. Мэдээж зөвхөн биеийн харьцаагаар нь морийг сайн муу гэж ялгахад хэцүү. Гэхдээ эхлээд биеийн харьцааг олох зорилт тавьж байгаа юм.
Дараагийн шатанд биеийн харьцаа болон морины хурд хоёрын хооронд ямар хамаарал байгааг судлах юм.
Эцсийн зорилго бол хурдан морь шинжих юм.

The robot can be considered to rest in the center of the square it is currently located in, and points in one of the cardinal directions of the maze. The robot has three obstacle sensors, mounted on the front of the robot, its right side, and its left side. Obstacle sensors detect the number of open squares in the direction of the sensor; for example, in its starting position, the robot’s left and right sensors will state that there are no open squares in those directions and at least one square towards its front. On each time step of the simulation, the robot may choose to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise ninety degrees, then move forwards or backwards a distance of up to three units. It is assumed that the robot’s turning and movement is perfect. If the robot tries to move into a wall, the robot stays where it is. After movement, one time step has passed, and the sensors return readings for the open squares in the robot’s new location and/or orientation to start the next time unit.
More technically, at the start of a time step the robot will receive sensor readings as a list of three numbers indicating the number of open squares in front of the left, center, and right sensors (in that order) to its “next_move” function. The “next_move” function must then return two values indicating the robot’s rotation and movement on that timestep. Rotation is expected to be an integer taking one of three values: -90, 90, or 0, indicating a counterclockwise, clockwise, or no rotation, respectively. Movement follows rotation, and is expected to be an integer in the range [-3, 3] inclusive. The robot will attempt to move that many squares forward (positive) or backwards (negative), stopping movement if it encounters a wall.
On each maze, the robot must complete two runs. In the first run, the robot is allowed to freely roam the maze to build a map of the maze. It must enter the goal room at some point during its exploration, but is free to continue exploring the maze after finding the goal. After entering the goal room, the robot may choose to end its exploration at any time. The robot is then moved back to the starting position and orientation for its second run. Its objective now is to go from the start position to the goal room in the fastest time possible. The robot’s score for the maze is equal to the number of time steps required to execute the second run, plus one thirtieth the number of time steps required to execute the first run. A maximum of one thousand time steps are allotted to complete both runs for a single maze.
In this section, you will need to clearly define the metrics or calculations you will use to measure performance of a model or result in your project. These calculations and metrics should be justified based on the characteristics of the problem and problem domain. Questions to ask yourself when writing this section:
- Are the metrics you’ve chosen to measure the performance of your models clearly discussed and defined?
- Have you provided reasonable justification for the metrics chosen based on the problem and solution?
(approx. 2-4 pages)
In this section, you will be expected to analyze the data you are using for the problem. This data can either be in the form of a dataset (or datasets), input data (or input files), or even an environment. The type of data should be thoroughly described and, if possible, have basic statistics and information presented (such as discussion of input features or defining characteristics about the input or environment). Any abnormalities or interesting qualities about the data that may need to be addressed have been identified (such as features that need to be transformed or the possibility of outliers). Questions to ask yourself when writing this section:
- If a dataset is present for this problem, have you thoroughly discussed certain features about the dataset? Has a data sample been provided to the reader?
- If a dataset is present for this problem, are statistics about the dataset calculated and reported? Have any relevant results from this calculation been discussed?
- If a dataset is not present for this problem, has discussion been made about the input space or input data for your problem?
- Are there any abnormalities or characteristics about the input space or dataset that need to be addressed? (categorical variables, missing values, outliers, etc.)

In this section, you will need to provide some form of visualization that summarizes or extracts a relevant characteristic or feature about the data. The visualization should adequately support the data being used. Discuss why this visualization was chosen and how it is relevant. Questions to ask yourself when writing this section:
- Have you visualized a relevant characteristic or feature about the dataset or input data?
- Is the visualization thoroughly analyzed and discussed?
- If a plot is provided, are the axes, title, and datum clearly defined?
In this section, you will need to discuss the algorithms and techniques you intend to use for solving the problem. You should justify the use of each one based on the characteristics of the problem and the problem domain. Questions to ask yourself when writing this section:
- Are the algorithms you will use, including any default variables/parameters in the project clearly defined?
- Are the techniques to be used thoroughly discussed and justified?
- Is it made clear how the input data or datasets will be handled by the algorithms and techniques chosen?
In this section, you will need to provide a clearly defined benchmark result or threshold for comparing across performances obtained by your solution. The reasoning behind the benchmark (in the case where it is not an established result) should be discussed. Questions to ask yourself when writing this section:
- Has some result or value been provided that acts as a benchmark for measuring performance?
- Is it clear how this result or value was obtained (whether by data or by hypothesis)?
(approx. 3-5 pages)
In this section, all of your preprocessing steps will need to be clearly documented, if any were necessary. From the previous section, any of the abnormalities or characteristics that you identified about the dataset will be addressed and corrected here. Questions to ask yourself when writing this section:
- If the algorithms chosen require preprocessing steps like feature selection or feature transformations, have they been properly documented?
- Based on the Data Exploration section, if there were abnormalities or characteristics that needed to be addressed, have they been properly corrected?
- If no preprocessing is needed, has it been made clear why?
In this section, the process for which metrics, algorithms, and techniques that you implemented for the given data will need to be clearly documented. It should be abundantly clear how the implementation was carried out, and discussion should be made regarding any complications that occurred during this process. Questions to ask yourself when writing this section:
- Is it made clear how the algorithms and techniques were implemented with the given datasets or input data?
- Were there any complications with the original metrics or techniques that required changing prior to acquiring a solution?
- Was there any part of the coding process (e.g., writing complicated functions) that should be documented?
In this section, you will need to discuss the process of improvement you made upon the algorithms and techniques you used in your implementation. For example, adjusting parameters for certain models to acquire improved solutions would fall under the refinement category. Your initial and final solutions should be reported, as well as any significant intermediate results as necessary. Questions to ask yourself when writing this section:
- Has an initial solution been found and clearly reported?
- Is the process of improvement clearly documented, such as what techniques were used?
- Are intermediate and final solutions clearly reported as the process is improved?
(approx. 2-3 pages)
In this section, the final model and any supporting qualities should be evaluated in detail. It should be clear how the final model was derived and why this model was chosen. In addition, some type of analysis should be used to validate the robustness of this model and its solution, such as manipulating the input data or environment to see how the model’s solution is affected (this is called sensitivity analysis). Questions to ask yourself when writing this section:
- Is the final model reasonable and aligning with solution expectations? Are the final parameters of the model appropriate?
- Has the final model been tested with various inputs to evaluate whether the model generalizes well to unseen data?
- Is the model robust enough for the problem? Do small perturbations (changes) in training data or the input space greatly affect the results?
- Can results found from the model be trusted?
In this section, your model’s final solution and its results should be compared to the benchmark you established earlier in the project using some type of statistical analysis. You should also justify whether these results and the solution are significant enough to have solved the problem posed in the project. Questions to ask yourself when writing this section:
- Are the final results found stronger than the benchmark result reported earlier?
- Have you thoroughly analyzed and discussed the final solution?
- Is the final solution significant enough to have solved the problem?
(approx. 1-2 pages)
In this section, you will need to provide some form of visualization that emphasizes an important quality about the project. It is much more free-form, but should reasonably support a significant result or characteristic about the problem that you want to discuss. Questions to ask yourself when writing this section:
- Have you visualized a relevant or important quality about the problem, dataset, input data, or results?
- Is the visualization thoroughly analyzed and discussed?
- If a plot is provided, are the axes, title, and datum clearly defined?
In this section, you will summarize the entire end-to-end problem solution and discuss one or two particular aspects of the project you found interesting or difficult. You are expected to reflect on the project as a whole to show that you have a firm understanding of the entire process employed in your work. Questions to ask yourself when writing this section:
- Have you thoroughly summarized the entire process you used for this project?
- Were there any interesting aspects of the project?
- Were there any difficult aspects of the project?
- Does the final model and solution fit your expectations for the problem, and should it be used in a general setting to solve these types of problems?
In this section, you will need to provide discussion as to how one aspect of the implementation you designed could be improved. As an example, consider ways your implementation can be made more general, and what would need to be modified. You do not need to make this improvement, but the potential solutions resulting from these changes are considered and compared/contrasted to your current solution. Questions to ask yourself when writing this section:
- Are there further improvements that could be made on the algorithms or techniques you used in this project?
- Were there algorithms or techniques you researched that you did not know how to implement, but would consider using if you knew how?
- If you used your final solution as the new benchmark, do you think an even better solution exists?
Before submitting, ask yourself. . .
- Does the project report you’ve written follow a well-organized structure similar to that of the project template?
- Is each section (particularly Analysis and Methodology) written in a clear, concise and specific fashion? Are there any ambiguous terms or phrases that need clarification?
- Would the intended audience of your project be able to understand your analysis, methods, and results?
- Have you properly proof-read your project report to assure there are minimal grammatical and spelling mistakes?
- Are all the resources used for this project correctly cited and referenced?
