Autumn 2019
ASSIGNMENT-1 SPECIFICATION
Due date Friday 11:59pm, 19 April 2019 (Extended!)
Demonstrations Optional, If required.
Marks 30% of the total marks for this subject
Submission 1. A report in PDF or MS Word document (5-pages max)
- Google Colab/iPython notebooks
Submit to UTS Online assignment submission
Note: This assignment is individual work.
Summary
This assessment requires you to develop three different classifiers namely, KNN,
SVM and Neural network, for handwritten digit classification. The features to used
for classification can be either Histogram-Of-Oriented-Gradients (HoG) or Local
Binary Pattern(LBP), and raw images/pixels.
Students need to provide the code (ipython Notebook) and a final report for the
assignment, which will outline a brief comparative study of the classifier’s
performance.
Assignment Objectives
The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate competence in the following
skills.
To ensure firm understanding of basic machine learning basics. This will facilitate
understanding of advanced topics.
To ensure that students understand the basics of image classification, feature
extraction using the traditional machine learning techniques.
42028: Assignment 1 – Autumn 2019 Page 2 of 4
Tasks:
Description: - Implement a simple kNN classifier for digit classification
- Implement a Linear classifier using SVM for digit classification
- Implement a Linear classifier using Neural Network for digit classification
- Compare the three implementations in terms of classification accuracy.
Write a short report on the implementation, linking the concepts and methods
learned in class, and also provide comparative study on the accuracies obtained
from combination of different classifiers and features.
Features to used: Any least two from the list given below:
a. HoG
b. LBP
c. Raw image/pixels values
d. Any other feature of your choice
Dataset to be used: MNIST (English handwritten numerals).
Report Structure:
The report should include the following sections: - Introduction: Provide a brief outline of the report and also briefly explain
the features and classifier combination used for experiments. - Dataset: Provide a brief description of the dataset used with some sample
images of each class. - Experimental results and discussion:
a. Experimental settings: Provide information on the classifier settings
(e.g: KNN: value of k for kNN classifier; SVM: kernel and other
parameters used in SVM classifier; ANN: number of input
neurons/nodes, activation function, loss function, output layer
information etc.)
b. Experimental Results:
i. Confusion matrix for the highest accuracy achieved, with a
very short description, with some result image sample
(optional)
ii. Comparative study: sample table format
Classifier/Feature HOG LBP Raw Input
iii. Discussion: Provide your understanding on why there was an
error in the accuracy, and difference in the performance of the
classifiers. You may also include some image samples which
were wrongly classified.

experiments and results.
Deliverables: - Project Report (5 pages max)
Google Colab or Ipython notebook, with the code
Additional Information:
Assessment Submission
Submission of your assignment is in two parts. You must upload a zip file of the
Ipython/Colab notebooks and Report to UTS Online. This must be done by the Due
Date. You may submit as many times as you like until the due date. The final
submission you make is the one that will be marked. If you have not uploaded your zip
file within 7 days of the Due Date, or it cannot be run in the lab, then your assignment
will receive a zeromark. Additionally, the result achieved and shown in the
ipython/colab notebooks should match the report. Penalties apply if there are
inconsistencies in the experimental results and the report.
PLEASE NOTE 1: It is your responsibility to make sure you have thoroughly tested your
program to make sure it is working correctly.
PLEASE NOTE 2: Your final submission to UTS Online is the one that is marked. It does
not matter if earlier submissions were working; they will be ignored. Download your
submission from UTS Online and test it thoroughly in your assigned laboratory.
Return of Assessed Assignment
It is expected that marks will be made available 2 weeks after the submission via UTS
Online. You will be given a copy of the marking sheet showing a breakdown of the marks.
Queries
If you have a problem such as illness which will affect your assignment submission
contact the subject coordinator as soon as possible.

Extensions and Special Consideration
In alignment with Faculty policies, assignments that are submitted after the Due
Date will lose 10% of the received grade for each day, or part thereof, that the
assignment is late. Assignments will not be accepted after 5 days after the Due Date.
When, due to extenuating circumstances, you are unable to submit or present an
assessment task on time, please contact your subject coordinator before the
assessment task is due to discuss an extension. Extensions may be granted up to a
maximum of 5 days (120 hours). In all cases you should have extensions confirmed in
writing.
If you believe your performance in an assessment item or exam has been adversely
affected by circumstances beyond your control, such as a serious illness, loss or
bereavement, hardship, trauma, or exceptional employment demands, you may be
eligible to apply for Special Consideration (https://www.uts.edu.au/curren…
