Project work

General

The idea is to make a small scale research project that will give you some hands-on experience on data fusion techniques. The report should resemble a small conference paper. It should describe the overall goal, the choices, their justifications, the methods and the results with relevant illustrations in max. 6 pages, but it can be shorter. The amount of credit points is approximately 3 from this project work, so try to scale the amount of work according to that.

Key dates for the project

• --: deadline for the project plan
• --: suggestions and approval of the plan by course administrators
• --: deadline for the report

If necessary, we will give suggestions for improvement of the report by --. Deadline for the final improved versions is in --.

Topics

Individual topics

• Implement and analyze the data integration method that was used in the article of your seminar presentation. We can help you with preprocessed data and more detailed instructions according to the project. In fact, we have suggestions for some of you.
• Suggest an own topic

General topic

Upcoming

Implementation In at least R/BioConductor and Matlab, there are ready-made functions for doing the computations. Successful interpretation of the results will require understanding of the methods, their connections and output, however. You can use the ready-made functions, or make your own implementation.
