The final project is your opportunity to explore an advanced data structure topic that was NOT covered in class this semester.
The main focus here is to write C++ code which implements and/or applies a data structure and/or algorithm of your choosing. You may use STL or other APIs/libraries, but only in a supporting role. If you use *any* code written by someone else (looking at you, Github), then you must cite it and be completely clear about what you added or changed. I am primarily interested in the code that you write and what your whole program does. Potential topics (first come, first served!):
- [Charmaine and Mithra] [Siddharth and Alex] Red-black balanced binary trees
- Treaps
- [Molly and Ilana] [Jasnoor and Andrew] Knight's tour or other kinds of searches with backtracking
- [Rubina and Listowel], [Kevin] Rabin-Karp string matching
- [Madison and MJ] k-d trees, nearest neighbor search -- basically spatial binary search trees
- Compression (text at the word/sentence level, image/video/audio)
- [Trung and Araf] LZMA compression
- [Mateo] Minimax game tree search for checkers
- [Sammy and Maanav] Automatic creation of crossword puzzles, sudoku, or other puzzles
- Automatic solution of a particular type of puzzle through graph search
- [Daniel] Nonograms
- [Roger], [Coleman] Bigram/trigram/n-gram text modeling and generation
- [Lindsey] Mutable priority queues
- Your own scintillating idea
You may work alone or as part of a pair.
Send me an e-mail with your proposal and partner name, if applicable, as soon as possible so that I can give some feedback. I don't just want a single word from the list above but also at least a sentence or two on what existing code/libraries you might use and a link to data that you intend to apply your program to. Time slots for 20-minute in-person demos (not in front of the class) on Monday, December 11 and Tuesday, December 12 (reading day) will be posted after Thanksgiving break. Your code and a 1+ page description of what you tried, how much you got done, and any results/statistics are officially due at midnight on December 12. Demos will take place in my lab, Smith 211.
