Final Project Writeup (8-12 pgs) and Presentation

Evaluation. Using the literature discussed in Week 10 and in Chapter 19 of Jurafsky & Martin, evaluate your system. Minimally, this should include a case study describing an intended interaction with the system, and an actual instance of user testing.

Final Paper. The write-up should address all of the following points:

• Evaluation. Report on your evaluation study.
• Post Mortem. Describe the outcome of your project. What worked and what didn't? Discuss the problems and successes that you encountered in every step of the project, from design, to execution to evaluation. Discuss which issues had to do with the discourse phenomena that you depended on, and which derived from purely technical issues.
• Limitations? Did you feel that the toolkit imposed limitations on your system? Explain.
• Draw Inferences to the Real World. Think about how the available technology might reflect real-world limitations in research and commercial applications. What would you have liked to do if the technology were available?
• Related Work. Discuss a minimum of four papers, and how they relate to your project. Choose two from the discourse theory side and two from the computational modeling side; These can be papers discussed in class, papers from the recommended reading list, or outside reading (with approval).

Presentations.Summarize your project and your final paper in a presentation to the class.
