Learning outcomes

assessed

These exercises will enable you to: learn theory, methods and

terminology used in data mining and text analytics; investigate how to

apply AI methods, resources and techniques for implementing and

evaluating data mining and text analytics in a practical applied research

project; summarize and present your knowledge and ideas to a peer

audience, in a research proposal report.

1. Assignment guidance

You are advised to attempt both assessments: Test, Report. There is no May/June exam.

2. Assessment tasks

For Test, each student will take an individual online test in Minerva. The tests will include Multiple

Answer Questions: each question has several suggested answers, and for each possible answer

you must select if it is correct or not. If you require special arrangements and/or extra time due to a

disability or other special circumstances, please make sure you notify lecturer Eric Atwell AND

student support well in advance so they can prepare accordingly.

For the Report, you will develop a 6-month research project proposal, using data mining and text

analytics theory, methods and technologies for a practical application of your choice. Lectures and

online learning resources will include examples of data mining and text analytics methods,

techniques, resources, and applications. You can also include other tools and techniques in your

research proposal, as appropriate.

When writing an applied data mining and text analytics research proposal, you can learn from

advice provided by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. EPSRC is a major UK

supporter and funder for research projects in Engineering and Physical Sciences, including AI. The

EPSRC website gives guidance on writing research project proposals, see

https://www.ukri.org/councils/epsrc/guidance-for-applicants/what-to-include-in-your-proposal/case-for support/

A widely cited guide to planning computer science student projects is:

Dawson, C.W., 2005. Projects in computing and information systems: a student's guide (third

edition). Pearson Education. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=15713354297912485216

A standard research project proposal includes several forms and tables, but the core document is

“Proposed research and its context” to include:

Research hypothesis & objectives,

Background,

Importance and contribution to knowledge,

Pilot study,

Programme and methodology,

And Workplan diagram, eg Gantt Chart

You should use these headings to structure your report, and write a section for each of these: 2

pages each for Pilot study and Programme and methodology, 1 page each for other sections, plus 1

page for References; maximum 9 pages in total.

In addition, as an Appendix of up to 3 pages, describe your use of data mining and text analytics

tools in developing your Report. This should include:

(i) tools used in the small pilot study to trial the methods proposed;

(ii) use of tools (eg Google Scholar, ChatGPT) in searching for background information;

(iii) use of tools (eg Word, ChatGPT) to draft the report and improve grammar and style.

You must include appropriate examples of prompts/queries and results for each of these three

tasks: the pilot study, background research, and drafting the report.

3. General guidance and study support

See Minerva Learning Resources for the module for guidance and study support on the sections of

the Proposed Research and Context:

Research hypothesis and objectives: Set out your research idea or hypothesis: the task or

challenge you plan to address and solve. Explain how the proposed project is challenging and

novel, emphasising the scientific ambition. Identify the overall aims of the project and the

measurable objectives against which the outcomes and impacts of the work will be assessed.

Background: Introduce the background to the proposal and explain its context. Explain how this

work relates to and builds on past and current research at Leeds University, in the UK and abroad.

Include appropriate citation of journal and/or conference papers to support your explanation.

Importance and contribution to knowledge: Explain how the project may contribute to current or

future economic success; to future development of key emerging industries; and/or addresses key

societal challenges. Describe how your project would benefit national and international research,

and engage with research in other disciplines to broaden the reach of the new knowledge.

Pilot study: You must implement a small-scale pilot study to demonstrate feasibility of your

proposed solution. You must select a simple case study challenge or task, select and acquire an

appropriate sample of data, develop a prototype solution, and evaluate your prototype solution.

Programme and methodology: Describe the work programme including methods, tools,

experiments, and user evaluation. Identify the contribution of users and/or stakeholders. State

milestones and deliverables that you will use to monitor progress, and explain how the project will

be managed. The research work programme should make use of CRISP-DM or another appropriate

methodology for AI projects; and should include use of at least two data mining and/or text analytics

methods, tools or techniques introduced in the module (eg SketchEngine, Weka, ChatGPT, LLMs)

1-page workplan diagram must match the written description of the research work programme,

showing start, end and duration of each phase or work-package, and timing of deliverables.

4. Assessment criteria and marking process

The mark scheme for your report will reflect the EPSRC grading scheme with marks in the range 0-6

for each criterion, EXCEPT the sections on Pilot study, Programme and methodology, and

Appendix: these are most important, and get higher weight:

Background (0-6 marks)

Importance and contribution to knowledge (0-6 marks)

Research hypothesis and objectives (0-6 marks)

Pilot study (0-12 marks)

Programme and methodology, with corresponding workplan diagram (0-12 marks)

Appendix: use of data mining and text analytics tools in developing your Report (0-18 marks)

TOTAL: up to 60 marks

Return of marks and feedback will be via Minerva grade center, approximately 3 weeks after

submission.

5. Presentation and referencing

Page limits are strict: up to 12 pages in total. Text must be single-spaced spaced Arial 11 with 2cm

margins; you cannot include more text by using smaller fonts or narrower margins. You must

present your ideas for all specified sections, and references must be included within the page limits.

You must submit via Minerva one copy of the report as a PDF document.

References and citations must be in a consistent format. I recommend Kilgarriff referencing style

for Artificial Intelligence papers, see https://blog.kilgarriff.co.uk/?p=71 but you are free to use

another format, as long as you apply it consistently to all your references.

The quality of written English will be assessed in this work. As a minimum, you must ensure:

• Paragraphs are used

• There are links between and within paragraphs although these may be ineffective at times

• There are (at least) attempts at referencing

• Word choice and grammar do not seriously undermine the meaning and comprehensibility of

the argument

• Word choice and grammar are generally appropriate to an academic text

These are pass/ fail criteria. So irrespective of marks awarded elsewhere, if you do not meet these

criteria you will fail overall.

6. Submission requirements

You must submit one copy of the report as a PDF document by the due date and time using the

"Submit My Work" link on Minerva. The filename should be your name e.g. EricAtwell.pdf

7. Academic misconduct and plagiarism

Academic integrity means engaging in good academic practice. This involves essential academic

skills, such as keeping track of where you find ideas and information and referencing these

accurately in your work.

By submitting this assignment you are confirming that the work is a true expression of your own

work and ideas and that you have given credit to others where their work has contributed to yours.

8. Assessment/ marking criteria grid

The mark scheme for your report will reflect the EPSRC grading scheme with marks in the range 0-6

for each criterion, EXCEPT the sections on Pilot study, Programme and methodology, and

Appendix: these are most important, and get higher weight:

Background (0-6 marks)

Importance and contribution to knowledge (0-6 marks)

Research hypothesis and objectives (0-6 marks)

Pilot study (0-12 marks)

Programme and methodology, with corresponding workplan diagram (0-12 marks)

Appendix: use of data mining and text analytics tools in developing your Report (0-18 marks)

TOTAL: up to 60 marks
