Download the dataset from Chicago Crime Portal, and use a
sample of these data to build a forecasting project where you
inspect the seasonality and trend of crime in Chicago. Submit
your project in the form of an RMD format, and address the
following questions:
Is crime generally rising in Chicago in the past decade
(last 10 years)?
Is there a seasonal component to the crime rate?
Which time series method seems to capture the variation in
your time series better? Explain your choice of algorithm
and its key assumptions

Image Classification Using Neural Network
Build a neural network capable of classifying images into one
of many classes and explain the choice of your architecture.
Test your neural network using unseen images – can your
algorithm correctly classify 80% of the images?

Capstone Project LEARN
MORE
After having learned various machine learning methods and its
application, students are required to choose one project that
challenge them to construct an optimal model from the dataset
given. The selection of methods include Forecasting, Regression
and Classification.

Marks of the project is out of 36 points, the rubrics

and
for assessment and grading will be discuss in the class.
