Final Course Project

The goal of the project is to gain hands-on experience interacting with some of the large vision and vision-language models discussed in class. You may choose among multiple options for the project type, described in further detail below. The intent of all project types is to gain a deeper understanding of the capabilities, limitations, and opportunities for future advancement of these models, whether through comparative analysis, investigation of models for a particular biomedical application, or exploration of technical innovations to address existing limitations.

You may work individually or in teams of 2 on the project, and grades will be calibrated by group size. Your project may be related to that of another class project as long as permission is granted by instructors of both classes; however, you must clearly indicate in the project proposal, milestone, and final reports the exact portion of the project that is being counted for this course. In this case, you must prepare separate reports for each course, and submit your final report for the other course as well.

• Project Proposal: Due Wednesday, Oct 23, at 11:59pm PT.
• Project Milestone: Due Wednesday, Nov 20, at 11:59pm PT.
• Project Report: Due Wednesday, Dec 11, at 11:59pm PT.
• Final Presentation: Scheduled for Monday, Dec 9, from 3:30-6:30pm.
