SET11121 002 – Data Wrangling
Assessment Brief
The assignment aims to cover the learning outcomes specified for the module:
LO1: Analyse the concepts and process of data analysis, including pre-processing and preparation
of data.
LO2: Analyse and evaluate modelling methods and techniques in data analysis.
LO3: Integrate data analysis algorithms to conduct data analysis and visualisation.
LO4: Critically interpret and evaluate results generated by analysis techniques.
LO5: Integrate specialised techniques for dealing with heterogeneous data sets.
The goal of this assignment is to use machine learning approaches to solve
one of the two tasks
described below.
Task 1: Computer Vision
Using the provided dataset (see below), develop a deep neural network (i.e. a Convolutional
Neural Network) for the image classification problem. Your proposed model must be a
Convolutional Neural Network with an architecture proposed by you. You should compare the
performance (i.e. classification accuracy) against a pre-trained model already provided within
Keras. Specifically:
1. Create a convolutional neural network (CNN). You must
motivate the choice of CNN
architecture.
2. Provide evidence of parameters tuning, such as learning rate, filter sizes, fully-connected
layers.
3. Provide evidence of a comparison of your model, using appropriate evaluation metrics of
your choice, against one of the predefined models within Keras. You MUST choose one
from
this list.
4. Write a report outlining your solution, including a description of the model architecture
(including a graphical representation of the architecture), evidence of parameters tuning
etc, as well as the evaluation results (including relevant tables and graphs) and critical
evaluation/reflection.
Data
For this assignment you should use the CIFAR-10 dataset which can be obtained by the Keras
library as follows:
from keras.datasets import cifar10
The goal of this exercise is not to produce a state-of-the-art model. If your model performs poorly
with respect to the predefined model you have chosen, do not worry—this is not what we are
testing. It should however be appropriately motivated and evaluated (you will be tested on those
aspects).
Task 2: Natural Language Processing
SET11121 002 – Data Wrangling
Using the provided dataset on Moodle, develop a machine learning algorithm of your choice for
text classification. You can use any combination of text representation and machine learning
approaches. Specifically:
1. Choose and implement a text representation technique (such as a bag of words, word
embeddings etc.). Justify your choice.
2. Using the text representation from (1), build a machine learning model for text classification
(e.g. decision tree, neural network etc.). Justify your choice.
3. Evaluate your model using the appropriate metrics of your choice.
4. Write a report outlining your solution, including a description of the machine learning
setup (including a description and motivation of the text representation technique, an
appropriate graphical representation if relevant), evidence of parameters tuning (if
relevant), as well as the evaluation results (including relevant tables and graphs) and
critical evaluation/reflection.
Data
For this assignment, you should use the dataset provided on Moodle.
Again, the goal of this task is not to produce a state-of-the-art model. If your chosen model
performs poorly by your selected metrics, do not worry—this is not what we are testing. It should
however be appropriately motivated and evaluated (you will be tested on those aspects).
Tips and Clarifications
– If you are struggling to make something work with the volume of data present, you can
subsample (for instance, randomly pick a proportion of the dataset).
– You
must use Python and its libraries to tackle this task. You are strongly encouraged to make
use of existing libraries for model building and evaluation, rather than writing your own unless
you specifically need to do something with no library support (e.g. if you want to do feature
engineering).
Your report can include images, such as your neural network architecture design (for Task 1 or for
Task 2 if you choose a deep learning approach), and plots. For architecture design, many programs
can be used. You can draw your neural network architecture with PowerPoint.
Deadline: Friday 15 April at 3 pm (UK time).
You will submit:
1. One .pdf file of up to 1000 words excluding tables, references etc as outlined earlier.
2. The code of your solution as a notebook. If you do any pre-processing to the data, please also
include the script you use to do this (or a list of the commands run).
Marking:
Both tasks will be marked as follows:
25% Method/Model;
10% Evaluation
For the report [35%]:
5% Structure;
SET11121 002 – Data Wrangling
15% Content;
15% Criticality/Discussion.
See Appendix A for more explanations.
Feedback:
Apart from the markings, you will also receive text feedback from Moodle 3 – 5 weeks after the
submission deadline. The feedback will contain a further explanation about what you have done
good and what needs to improve, corresponding to your marks.
Late submission policy
Coursework submitted after the agreed deadline will be marked at a maximum of 40%.
Coursework submitted over five working days after the agreed deadline will be given 0%.
Extensions
If you require an extension, please contact the module leader before the deadline. Extensions are
only provided for exceptional circumstances and evidence may be required. See the
Fit to Sit
regulations
for more details.
Plagiarism
Plagiarised work will be dealt with according to the university’s guidelines (Please read –
especially if this is the first time in a UK university):
