Assignment Objectives
This assignment aims for students to learn to:
- Understand the applications of analytics and AI solutions in various business context.
- Appraise the suitability of the solutions to solve business problems.
- Critically evaluate the outcomes of the solutions and practical implications of the findings.
Assessment Tasks
You are to conduct research and write a report about business applications of specific analytics and AI solutions. You are to search on the Internet (e.g., business websites) and Academic Databases (e.g. SCOPUS, Science Direct) for business case studies that employed the selected solutions. Each business case study can be a business report or a scholarly (journal/conference) article about a specific solution. You should read the collected articles, understand their business problems, and critically evaluate the employed analytics/AI solutions. You should write a critical review and analyse each of the case studies following the (suggested) points below:
- Businesses problem: Which industry does the firm(s)/organization(s) belong? Summarize and define their business problem(s).
- Methodology: What insights are to be discovered? Or What tasks are to be solved? Critically evaluate and justify why such Analytics/AI approach was used in relation to the business problem(s)? Was the Analytics/AI approach used in combination with other Analytics/AI approach approaches? If yes, why and how? If no, why not?
- Data: Describe the data used in the case study: data source, data collection, attributes, and/or other relevant information.
- Analysis: Describe the steps taken to process the collected data. Explain how the Analytics/AI was applied to the processed data. Note that explanation should link to the relevant technical concepts of the analytics/AI techniques introduced in the weekly contents (where applicable).
- Result: Describe the major results and findings. Critically evaluate and explain why the outcomes are sufficient or insufficient to address the business problem defined in the case study.
- Implication: What practical implications were offered? What benefits can the firm(s)/organization(s) gain from such recommendations/solutions?
Note that above points should be treated mainly as a guide. It is depending on the specific case study and analytics/AI solution, so that the specific contents can be varied where necessary. You will select three case studies for your assignment.
The first case study should be relevant to one of the below topics:
· Text analytics – modelling and basic concepts (Week 5)
- Text analytics applications – sentiment analysis (Week 6)
- Advanced text analytics: NER and topic modelling (Week 7) The second case study should be relevant to one of the below topics:
· Feature and model selection in predictive modelling (Week 8)
- Anomaly detection with PCA and one-class SVMs (Week 9)
· Signal data classification with Hidden Markov Models (Week 10)
The third case study can be any AI related topic of your choice and can be beyond the topics covered in this unit.
Among the selected case studies, at least two must come from scholarly articles published in Academic Databases. In addition to the case studies, you should also research and use extra resources to support your critical evaluation throughout the report. You can use text, tables or figures from the online resources; however, appropriate paraphrasing and summarization must be applied, citations and references must be provided.
The preferred referencing styles for this assignment is APA7. Other referencing styles are alco accepted. However, ensure that all references are consistently formatted following the same chosen referencing style. Refer to Deakin Referencing Guide for detailed information https://www.deakin.edu.au/students/studying/study-support/referencing.
The report should be written following Academic writing style https://www.deakin.edu.au/students/studying/study-support/academic-skills/academic-style
Scholarly articles can be accessed from Academic Databases through Deakin Library https://www.deakin.edu.au/library/a-z/databases
Deliverables:
A business report that contains
- Case Study 1: Identify the business case study and the analytics/AI solution and write a critical review.
- Case Study 2: Identify the business case study and the analytics/AI solution and write a critical review.
- Case Study 3: Identify the business case study and the analytics/AI solution and write a critical review.
- Reflection: Investigate the industry and potential companies that you plan work in the future. Identify potential business problems. Explain how your future company/business can benefit from adopting some of the analytics/AI solutions discussed the previous sections. If the previously discussed analytics/AI solutions are not suitable for your future situation, then identify and explain about other solutions that you think applicable.
In addition to the above sections, a professional report should also contain cover page, table of content and reference sections. Your report should be written and presented following the highest standard. Marks are allocated to the presentation of the report.
