CSE301: Intelligent Systems Year 3 Semester 1

Student Portfolio Outlines

Hand Out Date: 15-Sep-2023 Hand In Date: 15-Nov-2023

Total Marks: 100%

Instructions to candidates

1. This portfolio contains three tasks. Candidates must attempt all tasks
2. You are to make you submission on turn-it-in for the research task. You may
consult with your tutor/lecturer on how this will be done.
3. Ensure that you have an account on turn-it-in by going to www.turnitin.com.
Use the credentials provided for accessing this system. If you do not have
them, get hold of the tutor/lecturer as soon as possible.
4. If there is code to be submitted ensure your folder has been created on the
submission Server i.e. Sechaba, and you are able to submit inside the folder.
5. Any work with plagiarism level above 30 % will not be marked for research
case studies. It your responsibility to make sure that your plagiarism level is
within this level. Monitor it on regular bases. If you share your solution with
others, chances of the plagiarism rising above this level are high.
6. It is your responsibility to ensure that you can see Intelligent Systems module
on turn-it-in before submission date and you can submit your research paper
on the module link/bin. Consult with your tutor/lecturer if this is not the case.
Task 1: Lab Activities (20%)
Labs will be done weekly, and each lab has lab Activities and Exercises that students must submit, and
they should submit their activities every 3 weeks via Turnitin. The students will, therefore, produce
evidence of the work done by documenting their work via screenshots. The student’s attendance will
also be provided as evidence and proof of the attempt.

NB: Follow your tutors advice for evidence submission.

Task 2: Case Study (20%)

Case study : Review of Supervised and Unsupervised Machine Learning Techniques

Students are required to write a research paper with reference to between 10 and 20 relevant conference
and journal articles. Your research paper should include a detailed discussion and evaluation of current
research on the following topic:
A review of Supervised and unsupervised Techniques.

Note that your research paper must be organised as such:

1. Introduction
2. Body
3. Conclusion
You are expected to use either APA or Harvard referencing techniques to complete your review. The
minimum of 3 sources must be used to complete your review. The aim of this case study is to ensure
that students can apply the correct techniques of writing a critical review. The word count for this
review is 2000 words (+-250).

Task 3: Grand Assignment 60%

Scenario:

You are tasked with creating a comprehensive church management system and performing data
analysis on the collected data. The system records information about members, events, donations, and
communications. Your goal is to create a Django-based website, apply machine learning techniques for
data analysis, and provide meaningful insights.

a. Website Creation (60 Marks):

Develop a Django-based website for the church management system. The website should consist of the
following components:
Authentication (10 Marks):
Implement user authentication allowing staff and members to log in using their credentials.
Members Management (15 Marks):
• Staff users should be able to manage members' information. Members can edit their own profiles.
Features should include:
• Adding, updating, and deleting member records.
• Categorizing members as Adult, Teen, Sunday School, or Visitor.
• Viewing upcoming birthdays.

Events Management (10 Marks):

Staff users should be able to create and manage events. Members can view upcoming events. Features
should include:
• Adding, updating, and deleting events.
• Displaying upcoming events to members.

Donations Management (15 Marks):

Implement a system for recording and managing donations. Features should include:
• Logging donations with type (Tithes or Other Givings) and amount.
• Displaying donation history and amount statistics.

Communication (10 Marks):

Implement a communication system for staff to send messages to members. Features should include:
• Sending messages via email, SMS, or letter.
• Tracking sent messages and interactions.

Template Usage(15 marks)

• The students must download a theme of their choice and render it in Django to enhance the look
and feel of their website.

b. Linear Regression Analysis (40 Marks):

Perform a Linear Regression analysis to gain insights from the collected data. Use Python and relevant
libraries for the following tasks:

Data Preprocessing (5 Marks):

Preprocess the dataset by handling missing values and transforming categorical variables.

Donation Prediction (15 Marks):

Train a Linear Regression model to predict donation amounts based on relevant features. Include the
following steps:
• Split the dataset into training and testing sets.
• Train the model using the training data.
• Evaluate the model's performance using appropriate metrics.
• Interpret the model's coefficients to explain the impact of different factors on donation amounts.
Birthday Wishes Prediction (10 Marks):
• Utilize Linear Regression to predict the likelihood of a member donating based on their
upcoming birthday. Steps include:

Create a new feature: Calculate the number of days remaining until a member's birthday.
Train a Linear Regression model using the dataset with this new feature and donation history.
Predict the probability of a donation given the number of days until a member's birthday.
Visualize the relationship between the number of days and the predicted probability.
Report and Presentation (Extra 10 Marks):

Write a comprehensive report and prepare a presentation to present your findings:

c. Report (5 Marks):
Write a detailed report summarizing your findings from the website creation and the linear regression
analysis. Include:
• Website functionalities with screenshots.
• Visualizations of data distributions, trends, and relationships.
• Interpretation of regression coefficients and their impact.
• Interpretation of the birthday wishes prediction model and its insights.
• Recommendations for the church management system based on your analysis.

d. Presentation Slides (5 Marks):

• Prepare presentation slides summarizing key points from your report. Highlight the website
functionalities, linear regression analysis, insights, and recommendations.

Submission:

Submit the following:

• The source code of the Django website.
• Python code for linear regression analysis and birthday wishes prediction.
• Report in PDF format detailing your findings, explanations, and recommendations.
• Presentation slides (optional) summarizing key points from your report.

Note:
For the website creation, use Django's built-in features for authentication, forms, and templates. Ensure
proper URL routing and user interfaces. For the linear regression analysis, use pandas, scikit-learn, and
matplotlib libraries. Adequately comment your code, provide explanations, and showcase your
understanding of both web development and data analysis concepts.
