====== Mini-Projects Ideas for Brainworks and Networks ======

  * Present to the class some cutting-edge research on the brain and how it works
  * Train a neural network to recognize handwritten [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suetterlin|Sütterlin]] (ask your grandparents what this is =))
  * For some large dataset, train a neural network and do some analysis on model parameters such as number of hidden nodes, learning rate, momentum, etc. 
  * Perform some deep network analysis on the [[http://www.pleonast.com|Pleonast]] user graph (which I will provide)
  * Do a Milgram-esque social experiment testing the Small Worlds hypothesis (perhaps by email?)
  * Determine some sort of social graph for HftL students
  * Do some network analysis on various network topologies such as random, "connected caveman", k-lattice, scale-free, etc.
  * Develop a business plan to take advantage of a long tail
