The Cardiff Met EDGE supports students in graduating with the knowledge, skills, and attributes that allow them to contribute positively and effectively to the communities in which they live and work.

This module assessment provides opportunities for students to demonstrate development of the following EDGE Competencies:

Assessment Requirements / Tasks (include all guidance notes)

Today, a lot of Computational Intelligence artefacts power various industries and sectors globally. The world is awake to an exponential growth in technological advancements in intelligence systems that leverage various forms of data.

The aim of this assignment is to provide students with an opportunity to gain experience using specialist languages, software and development packages, to investigate the application of computational intelligence (Neural Networks) in the ubiquitous system's domain.

IBM projected that the Internet of Things (IoT) market will grow from an installed base of 15 billion devices in 2015 to about 75 billion by 2025.

The overall task of this assignment is for you to build THREE neural networks for activity classification which should be initially trained on your training dataset, and then evaluated on your test dataset.

You are to use this Product activity data which captures a number of activities. Click this Link to access the  Chatty-Dataset .

You are required to Pre-process the data and carry out some exploratory data analysis before building your models. Pay attention to these sensors: "Acceleration", "Magnetic Field", "Orientation" and "Angular Velocity" which were used to capture data. You are to discuss them in your report. Furthermore, as mentioned earlier you are expected to build THREE Artificial Neural Networks to classify the activities in the Chatty-Dataset. In your report, discuss the best performing model and highlight their hyperparameters and accuracy.

Your report should contain:

• An introduction which describes the dataset used
• Discuss the sensors ("Acceleration", "Magnetic Field", "Orientation" and "Angular Velocity)
• Discuss your model creation,
• hyperparameters and model performance.
• You are also expected to use appropriate plots/ graphs and provide a short description. Exploratory Data analysis using Visuals (plots/ graphs)
• Finally, you need to provide a concluding section reflecting the knowledge gained from your analysis.
