CET313 – Artificial Intelligence
Assessment Brief
Intelligent Prototype Development
1. Specification
This assignment is weighted at 100% of the overall module and will be marked out of 100. This assessment requires approximately 40 hours to complete.
The aim of this assessment is to provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate your understanding and practical skills in Artificial Intelligence. You must propose your own project concept, subject to approval by the Module Leader. The assessment is designed to assess your ability to develop a small prototype, evaluate its performance, and compile a comprehensive report. Additionally, you are required to submit a portfolio of evidence from practical exercises undertaken during the course.
1.1. Learning Outcomes
LO1. Demonstrate comprehension of a range of AI techniques and their application to problem solving within society, industry, and research.
LO2. Articulate awareness of contemporary developments in the field of AI and their application and potential implications.
LO3. Critically assess real-world problems and determine which AI approaches are suitable for their solutions.
1.2. Deadlines
Files submitted via Canvas. Deadline Thursday, 11th January 2024 13:59 pm

2. Important Information
All work is to be completed individually, except where explicitly stated, and you will only be able to receive Marks for your own work. You are responsible for the security and integrity of your own files, and you must not permit others access to your assignment work. Plagiarism or paraphrasing without due accreditation will be dealt with severely as set out in the University Infringement of Assessment Regulations and detailed in the Programme Handbook. You can also refer to the library guidebook on plagiarism such as Avoiding plagiarism – University Library Services (sunderland.ac.uk)
Students are permitted to use AI tools used in an assistive role within the assessment. However, the student must declare in the submission the used tool(s) and how did you use it. Examples of where AI might be used in an assistive category include:
• Drafting and structure content.
• Supporting the writing process in a limited manner.
• As a support tutor.
• Supporting a particular process such as translating content.
• Giving feedback on content or proofreading content
However, students cannot use AI tools to do the project for you as the work must be completely done by the students. All AI generated content must be validated by the student.
You are expected to submit work in the file formats requested. Submitting links to files saved elsewhere in the cloud will not be considered and will result in a zero mark. The actual files must be loaded to Canvas and readily available to the assessor. After uploading and submitting your files, you must check that you can also retrieve and open them. It is your responsibility to ensure files are not corrupted at the time of submission and to report any issues immediately to the help desk, copying in your lecturer and to seek alternative arrangements when required.

3. Tasks
You are required to complete three main tasks; the tasks details can be found below:
1. Development of Prototype (40%):
Develop a prototype that relates to your selected project. The prototype should showcase your practical skills and knowledge in AI. Ensure the prototype is functional and aligns with the project objectives. The topics introduced in class can be potential options for module assignment.
2. Evaluative Report (40%):
Write an evaluative report that documents your development process, the performance and functionality of the prototype, and the extent to which it meets the project objectives. Your report should critically assess the strengths and weaknesses of your prototype, propose potential improvements, and discuss the implications of your findings. The report must include a link to the e-portfolio that has your weekly workshop notebook.
3. Portfolio of Evidence (20%):
Compile a portfolio of evidence from practical exercises completed during the course. This may include code samples, design documents, project notes, or any relevant material that demonstrates your practical engagement with the course material.
4. Deliverables:
1. Jupyter notebook with the prototype script (if you are using any datasets, you can upload a zip file that contains the Jupyter notebook and any other required files). The notebook should have comments and must show all the results.
2. A report explaining each step of the development and containing the link to the e portfolio. The report structure is shown in the next section.
5. Report Structure
The evaluative report must include the following sections:
• Abstract (less than 150 words): This should provide a high-level overview of the project, including its goals, objectives, and outcomes.
• Introduction (1-2 pages): This should provide more detailed information about the project, including its background, motivation, and scope.
• Literature Review (1-2 pages): Short literature review of the most relevant research papers on the project.
• Methodology (2-3 pages): This should describe the methods and techniques that were used to complete the project.
• Results and Discussion (2-3 pages): This should present the findings of the project in a clear and concise manner. The results should be interpreted and discuss their implications.
• References: This should list all the sources that were cited in the report.
