Hi all, we design three tasks for both of your ideas. You just need to complete the tasks of one of them. Details on submission will be released later.

 

(1) Wordle solver:

a. I’m assuming that you would just have a user input a five-letter word to your system via the Matlab prompt. If not, think about the method of input and output for the system to solve the wordle.

b. Decide whether you want to use the actual Wordle list or if you want to create your own word list. For whatever list you decide on, run basic frequency analysis on the letters in these banks, including the number and location of appearance, and share some quantitative conclusions about the word list.

c. Read about similar articles on machine learning solving the word puzzles:

Comment on pros and cons of one of the approaches that appeals to you the most.

 

(2) Satellite imagery for fire assessment:

a. Design a system that will predict the probability of having a fire given an image and location.

b. Collect dataset: collect a set of pictures of greenery that might be the target of analyzing, with the corresponding datasets on historical temperature values. There should be at least ten images.

c. Read the following paper: Wieland, Marc and Pittore, Massimiliano, Performance Evaluation of Machine Learning Algorithms for Urban Pattern Recognition from Multispectral Satellite Images

Think about the following: If one wants to predict the likelihood of fire given temperature and location, then a model between temperature, location, the conditions of the greenery and the likelihood of fire is needed. How will you design the model or obtain the model values? Following (a), how will you quantify the greenery conditions (in order to fix it into the model)? How will you eliminate the influence introduced by the lightning conditions?
