• Problem Space
  • What is the problem you would like to solve? Try to describe it in terms of ML.
  • Why is this an important and interesting problem? What triggered the idea?
  • A description of why it would be useful to use / develop machine learning to solve this problem.
• Data / Data Plan

    • What are the outcome variable(s) or other expected kinds of results from your project?
      • Is it supervised or unsupervised?
    • Approximately (or exactly) how many samples do you have?
    • This entry must include whether you already have the data
