Understanding the Capstone Project


              Having studied the various facets of AI, you can create your own small version of an AI model that can help to solve a
              real-life problem. This type of AI model is called a capstone project. A capstone project is a comprehensive, independent,
              and final project undertaken as a part of the curriculum designed to assess the skills, knowledge, and expertise a student
              has acquired. Such a project often involves researching a topic, evaluating a new technique or method, developing a
              health plan, researching a character or event in history, or even the composition of a sketch or play.
              No matter what type of project you choose to undertake, the result is the same. You can demonstrate your understanding
              of the course material and your readiness to enter the professional  world to kickstart your career. It's a rewarding
              experience if it's done well.

              So, a capstone project provides an opportunity for students to integrate all the knowledge learnt during the course and
              demonstrate it. Ideally, a great capstone project is one that:

              •   You have great interest and passion for
              •   Has practical usage/value

              •   Doable in a particular timeframe
              •   Contemporary
              •   And helps in your career advancement.


                                                                                      #Digital Literacy

                     After watching the video, answer the following question:
                     Define Capstone Project? What is its purpose?








              Some of the examples of capstone projects in AI that you can develop are as follows:
              •   Studying images to diagnose diseases,
              •   Forecasting student results,

              •     Creating a chatbot for the school admin department or counsellor to handle parents’/students’ queries using IBM
                  Watson or Google Dialogflow,

              •   Image Classifier,
              •   Analysing social media to assess emotions,
              •   Using regression to predict a trend.

              Problem Decomposition
              Solving real-life problems is complicated. During coding, we follow problem decomposition methodology that can be
              applied to real-life problems as well. Here, we break down a complex problem into a series of small, more manageable
              problems.
