Proposal Guidelines

Guidelines to prepare a team project proposal.

Presentation

  • Every team is expected to give a 12 mins presentation.

  • Your presentation must include key contents from each section in the report (see below).

Proposal

The proposal writing must be created in LaTex using this template.

The proposal should be 6 - 8 pages, including figures and tables (excluding references). Your proposal must include the following:

  1. Write an abstract summarizing your proposal.

  2. What is the team vision of your dialogue system? What makes your system interesting and important? Is a dialogue system the best practice to pursue your vision?

  3. Who is your primary target audience? If your target audience is narrow, what is your strategy to engage the general audience in your system?

  4. Describe a high-level dialogue flow of your system. Additionally, provide sample dialogues that you expect your system to conduct.

  5. Describe your scientific approach in detail. What techniques and/or datasets will you use, and how do you plan to integrate them into your system?

  6. How will you evaluate your system? Be specific about what aspects you plan to assess and how you will conduct such evaluation in terms of metrics and demographics.

  7. What is novel about your system? Survey similar existing systems and compare them to show the uniqueness of your system.

  8. Provide a weekly timeline specifying which members will work on which parts.

Submissions

  • Submit your presentation slides and the report in PDF to Canvas.
