-Beginning in Week 7, students will work on a research project in teams of 2 to 3. The topic of the project must be related to computational storytelling, and the project itself must focus on using AI techniques to address a particular challenge. We will form teams on September 16 (Week 5) following an in-class Idea Jam, during which everyone will propose and discuss several ideas for potential term projects. Each team will propose a project via written hand-in, and, upon its approval by the instructor, work to complete their project for the remainder of the term. Each team's project will be evaluated in four parts: a Project Proposal (due on September 23), Project Updates from Week 7 onward, a Final Presentation (date TBA), and a Final Report in the format of a standard conference paper (due date TBA, but likely during final exams; this course has no final exam). +Beginning in Week 7, students will work on a research project in teams of 2 to 3.
