Guidelines for Mini Project

1. 1 Mini project may be carried out in one or more form of following:
Product preparations, prototype development model, fabrication of set-ups, laboratory
experiment development, process modification/development, simulation, software
development, integration of software (frontend-backend) and hardware, statistical data
analysis, creating awareness in society/environment etc.
2. Students shall form a group of 3 to 4 students, while forming a group shall not be
allowed less than three or more than four students, as it is a group activity.
3. Students should do survey and identify needs, which shall be converted into problem
statement for mini project in consultation with faculty supervisor or
head of department/internal committee of faculties.
4. Students shall submit an implementation plan in the form of Gantt/PERT/CPM chart,
which will cover weekly activity of mini projects.
5. A logbook may be prepared by each group, wherein the group can record weekly work
progress, guide/supervisor can verify and record notes/comments.
6. Faculty supervisors may give inputs to students during mini project activity; however,
focus shall be on self-learning.
7. Students under the guidance of faculty supervisor shall convert the best solution into a
working model using various components of their domain areas and demonstrate.
8. The solution to be validated with proper justification and report to be compiled in
standard format of University of Mumbai. Software requirement specification (SRS)
documents, research papers, competition certificates may be submitted as part of
annexure to the report.
9. With the focus on self-learning, innovation, addressing societal/research/innovation
problems and entrepreneurship quality development within the students through the Mini
 Vidyavardhini’s College of Engineering & Technology
Department of Artificial Intelligence And Data Science

Projects, it is preferable that a single project of appropriate level and quality be carried
out in two semesters by all the groups of the students. i.e. Mini Project 2 in semesters V
and VI.
10. However, based on the individual students or group capability, with the mentor’s
recommendations, if the proposed Mini Project adhering to the qualitative aspects
mentioned above, gets completed in odd semester, then that group can be allowed to work
on the extension of the Mini Project with suitable improvements/modifications or a
completely new project idea in even semester. This policy can be adopted on a case by
case basis.

Term Work
The review/ progress monitoring committee shall be constituted by the heads of departments of
each institute. The progress of the mini project to be evaluated on a continuous basis, based on the
SRS document submitted. minimum two reviews in each semester.
In continuous assessment focus shall also be on each individual student, assessment based on
individual’s contribution in group activity, their understanding and response to questions.

Distribution of Term work marks for both semesters shall be as below: Marks 25
1 Marks awarded by guide/supervisor based on logbook 10
2 Marks awarded by review committee 10

In one year project (sem III and IV), first semester evaluation may be based on first 10 criteria and
remaining may be used for second semester evaluation of performance of students in mini
projects.
In case of half year projects (completing in III sem) all criteria in generic may be considered for
evaluation of performance of students in mini projects.

Guidelines for Assessment of Mini Project Practical/Oral Examination:

Brief Description of the Project

Description:
In this project, we would be combining multiple services and open-source tools
to make a Chatbot that recommends songs based on the tone of the conversation
which the user is having with the chatbot. In this project, we would be building
an extensive Chatbot service, to which you can talk to. And talking to a chatbot
wouldn't be business-driven. It would just be casual conversations. Further, on
top of it, the chatbot would also be recommending songs to the user based on the
tone of the user. This song recommendation feature employs the use of Last.fm
API, very much similar to the popular Spotify API. Also for tone/emotion
analysis of the conversation we will be using the IBM Tone Analyzer API.
Collaborating with these types of APIs is very much critical as in today's world
the popular chatbots do much more than simply having a data-driven
conversation; to supplement additional user-oriented features. Also the reason to
choose python to build the chatbot is because python boasts a wide array of
open-source libraries for chatbots, including scikit-learn and TensorFlow. It is
great for small data sets and more simple analyses; also Python's libraries are
much more practical.
