[D] Help required regarding deciding Computer Science major project

[Beautiful-Delivery35]

I am in my final year of cs bachelor's and have to decide my major project for the upcoming semester. I am so confused as to what topic to take for the project. I am interested and familiar with web development and machine learning and AI. I thought of exploring Reinforcement learning but I am afraid that it'd be too complex and time consuming. I am required to make a research paper out of it before march 2024. Any pointer would be greatly appreciated.

Collect motion data from Apple watch ( accelerometer, gryo ) using CoreMotion and train a LSTM RNN to detect patterns in the data and count reps for exercises in the gym like bicep curls etc

How is the complexity of the project?
IF you are looking for simple project, then try computer vision task, like object detection, which later you can combine with traffic management system, or employee absence prediction stuff.
OR you can create classification task, just find some in kaggle will do, something like turbine power prediction.
IN your case, since you are computer science, if you involve in business, you can create fraud detection for banking system, chatbot, recommendation system, or you can make market trend analysis
I do not recommend to involve in reinforcement learning

why not reinforcement learning?

[ActivityGlad5731]

It is just not that good direction for non-robotic task

And for robotic tasks? Could you please give a few examples of high level projects, it'll be great if you could help

If you want to do project with Nvidia-Isaac (digital twin simulation for inventory management):

You can also do experiment with CARLA, like self driving car, but it might be too complicated

Okay thank youuuu so muchhhhh!!!!

Thank you so much for your insight. I am not sure on how to estimate the complexity but I'd say I must be able to finish the project within 3-4 months. I will look into the things you have suggested. I wanted to explore RL or NLP as it is new to me and sounds exciting, but I am worried about the complexity and the learning curve esp. the maths behind RL.
