Assessment Criteria

Part 1: Project presentation

The first assessment grading criteria is as follows (you should follow the proposed structure).

  • Application Domain Complexity (30%) - How complex the application domain you selected is difficult to model, yet realistically achievable within the course.
  • Paper readability (40%) - How well written the 2-page paper you wrote is, we break this down into the following criteria
    • 20% - Introduction clarity: how well does the introduction answers these questions: what is the problem? why is it an important problem? how do aim to solve it? and what follows from your proposed solution?
    • 10% - How well do you refer to background material and relate it your proposed application area?
    • 10% - How detailed and realistically you plan the work for the rest of the semester?
  • Presentation clarity (30%) - How well you presented your project proposal, which we break down into three criteria
    • 10% - Use of time during the presentation
    • 10% - Slide quality (conciseness, use of figures, etc)
    • 10% - Presentation organization

Part 2: Project Report

The second assessment grading criteria uses two main criteria First, the technical form of the project

  • Application Domain Complexity (15%) - How complex the application domain you selected is difficult to model, yet realistically achievable within the course.
  • Domain Modelling (15%) - How close to the underlying domain is the planning model developed in the project? Are the proposed simplifications justified? What is the tradeoff of these simplifications?
  • Problem Complexity (15%) - How complex are the problem instances used in the experimentation? Are these instances computationally challenging or are they just toy problems?
  • Formalism Appropriateness (15%) - Is the selected formalism (Classical Planning of various types, HTN planning, reinforcement learning) appropriate for the selected domain? Is this selection justified?

Second, the report describing the project and its results

  • Report Clarity (10%): Is the report clearly written, following the guidelines for part 1
  • Report Problem Description (15%): Does the report describe the problem being addressed with enough detail that it can be replicated?
  • Report Implementation (15%): Does the report describe the solution both technically and theoretically in a way that allows others to replicate it?

Part 3: Final Presentation

The same criteria for the project presentation applies to the final presentation, with the following weights

  • 30% - Use of time during the presentation
  • 30% - Slide quality (conciseness, use of figures, etc)
  • 40% - Presentation organization
