ICT319 Intelligent Systems

A properly-written report of no more than six A4 pages. This should be organised as a scientific report under the following headings: 

• Title: Make this descriptive of your expert system and domain and the

problem you are solving.

• Introduction: Describe and discuss the problem you are working on. Describe what prior experiments have been done on such a problem? Some background reading on similar wor is needed here.

• Knowledge acquisition Technique and Tools: Give details of the method you used, as well as algorithms, heuristics, tools or you used in your solution.

• Implementation: Describe the steps you took to build working rules for your project. Explain the key variables of interest, and the input and outputs.

• Explain your evaluation method(s). Present the results of your evaluation. This will generally be in the form of a graph, or table of data. Make sure you clearly label all graphs and tables, and provide a caption for each. Note: It may be impractical to conduct a usability study or poll users with a questionnaire, because that normally requires the approval of an ethics committee, and there is usually no time to obtain one of these. If your evaluation would require volunteer users, instead simply say how you would perform the measurement if you had the necessary permissions: show what instrument would you use, how many users would you sample, and how would you summarise the results.

• Discussion: Interpret the results for the reader. How can we understand what has happened? Was the outcome what you expected? What have you learned by doing the project? What went well, and what went poorly? What could be done to improve the performance of the system in future? What is your conclusion?

• Acknowledgements (if needed): If you are given help or use code taken from some source, you should acknowledge these here. If you modify code obtained from the Internet, remember to observe the copyrights of the code obtained, and make proper reference to the author. If it’s a requirement for you to gain permission from the author of the code, please make sure you keep the copy of approval obtained and submit a copy with your report.
