Assignments

Project 1, due January 20. Here are training examples for this project, the original documentation, and a description of the naive Bayesian learning algorithm.

After doing all algorithm and software development using the 800 training examples, you should estimate as precisely as possible the accuracy and total profit attainable on 200 future cases. Give estimated means and standard deviations.

Then, and only then, you should run your final classifier once on these 200 test examples, and report the accuracy and total profit achieved.

Project 2, due February 3.

Here is an overview of the MineSet data mining software, and here is documentation on the MineSet commands (1125 Kbytes). Here is full documentation, and here is the home page for MineSet.

Project 3, due February 19 (extended from February 17).

Here are lecture notes on CLIPS, here is general information, and here is how to use CLIPS on CSE Unix computers.

Project 4, due March 3. Comments on 1997 knowledge-based system proposals.

Project 5, due March 20. Here are some articles on the design of a dishwasher with a fuzzy controller. Here is an article The Paradoxical Success of Fuzzy Logic.
