The project is required only for graduate students in B551. It should be as big as 2 or 3 homework assignments.
For the project, you can choose any of the algorithms we discussed and choose a problem to apply it to. It can be an algorithm we've used in a homework but it should be applied to a different problem or have extended functionality.
Write a 1-2 pages report on what you implemented and how it worked. Experiment with it by varying applicable parameter and report what you find.
Here are some ideas of projects:
Use the A*, GraphPlan, or one of the other algorithms we've seen to solve a new problem.
Use a downloadable, trainable GenAI system and train it on a
problem of your choice. This involves finding an appropriate data
set. Some sites with available data sets:

Presentation. We'll reserve the last day of class for project presentations.
Turn in: Source files, the short report, and the README file.
