Data Mining

Data Mining – Classification, Model Optimisation and Evaluation

This individual Data Mining assignment requires students to apply the techniques covered in the module using the WEKA data mining platform. The assessment is worth 40% and focuses on practical application of machine learning and data mining methods, requiring students to configure algorithms, analyse datasets, optimise model parameters, evaluate classification performance and explain their technical choices and results. The assignment also assesses the ability to critically evaluate different algorithms and models of data mining. The assignment includes several tasks covering different stages of the data mining process. Students are required to work with supplied datasets and use appropriate preprocessing and classification techniques. The datasets include a balanced screenshot dataset containing processed screenshots classified into categories such as "Okay" and "Bad", where the objective is to train a model capable of identifying inappropriate content. The data has been processed using PCA to provide a smaller four-dimensional representation while protecting privacy and reducing the size of the data. Another supplied dataset concerns furniture reviews, containing positive ("pos") and negative ("neg") written feedback, with the objective of building a model that can determine whether a furniture review belongs to either class. The assessment evaluates students' ability to understand and describe the datasets, including the number of instances, number of columns, data types and relevant statistical information. For text-based data, students must apply appropriate vectorisation and describe the resulting dataset characteristics. Students must also consider class imbalance and apply an appropriate method where necessary, explaining how the chosen approach affects the distribution of instances between the classes. A significant component of the assignment involves classification algorithms and parameter optimisation. The assessment requires students to work with algorithms including Naive Bayes, LibSVM and J48. Students must investigate appropriate parameters and perform parameter searches or fine grid searches to identify suitable configurations. They must explain the selected parameters, their impact on the model and the reasoning behind the chosen values. Model performance must be evaluated using appropriate validation techniques, including cross-validation. Students are required to compare the algorithms using results such as overall accuracy and confusion matrices. The assignment expects students to identify an appropriate or best-performing algorithm in the context of the dataset and to provide a clear explanation of the comparison rather than simply reporting numerical results. The rubric places emphasis on accurate configuration, clear explanation of parameter choices, dataset analysis, class-balance treatment, parameter optimisation, cross-validation and critical comparison of algorithm strengths and weaknesses. High-quality work should explain both the technical process and the implications of the results, with results presented clearly through appropriate tables, confusion matrices and graphical outputs where required. The submission must be a single PDF document containing the report and must not exceed 10 pages. Students are instructed to include their student ID at the beginning of the report but not their name or other identifying details so that marking remains anonymous. Screenshots are specifically required to demonstrate use of the student's ID number as the random seed; other WEKA results should be presented in the student's own tables or result formats. The brief also states that no research beyond the material covered in the module is required and therefore no citations or reference list are required. The assignment explicitly prohibits the use of Generative AI tools for creating content and prohibits using GenAI tools or proofreading services for proofreading. Students are expected to complete the practical work themselves and explain their own technical choices and results.

Security of Emerging Connected Systems 1,500 words

CW1: Policy and Legal Aspects Report – IoT System

This 1,500-word report for the Security of Emerging Connected Systems module examines the legal and security implications of a proposed Internet of Things (IoT) system designed for consumers to monitor food intake and bodyweight. The coursework requires students to provide an initial investigation of the potential legal pitfalls associated with the proposed product and identify appropriate solutions or mitigation measures. The report is worth 5 credits and is assessed as an individual written report. The proposed IoT system consists of several connected components. A smartphone application allows users to scan barcodes of processed food to record calorie and nutritional information against their health record. A kitchen scale communicates with the phone application to record the weight of ingredients used in home-cooked meals. A bathroom scale records the user's weight and provides light and sound reminders to encourage regular measurements. A UK-based server stores the collected information and generates individual user reports. The main purpose of the report is to ensure that the company understands the UK and international laws that may apply to the proposed system. Students must identify potential legal issues and recommend appropriate mitigation through technology, organisational policy, licensing arrangements or user agreements. The system definition is deliberately broad, so students should not make unsupported assumptions about its design. Where several options have different legal implications, the report should compare the relevant alternatives and explain their implications rather than presenting only one solution. The initial product is intended for UK residents, while the company is considering future expansion into the United States. Consequently, the report should focus primarily on UK law but also include a short section discussing legal aspects that may need to be reconsidered when entering the US market. The report is intended for company executives and may subsequently be provided to the R&D department. Therefore, high-level outcomes should be communicated early, while useful links to technical information such as encryption schemes, protocols and frameworks may be provided without extensive technical explanations in the main report. The assessment places 50% of the marks on understanding and coverage of UK and US law, 40% on technical recommendations and 10% on report presentation. Strong submissions are expected to provide comprehensive coverage of relevant legislation, connect legal issues with the wider security context, analyse technical recommendations for both regions, identify differences between UK and US requirements and support arguments with appropriate citations and a wide range of sources. The assignment learning outcomes focus on critically evaluating the role of security policy in protecting information assets and proposing appropriate policies for internet-based technologies. They also require students to demonstrate an understanding of key legislation relating to information security and how legislation influences organisational security policy. The final report should therefore combine legal analysis with practical security recommendations, addressing the proposed IoT system from both UK and US perspectives while remaining suitable for both technical staff and non-technical management.

Digital Data Acquisition, Recovery and Analysis – Autonomous Vehicle Forensics

This individual coursework for the Digital Data Acquisition, Recovery and Analysis module requires students to produce a 1,500-word technical research paper critically investigating autonomous vehicle (AV) forensics. The assignment focuses on the challenges, methodologies and tools involved in extracting, preserving, analysing and interpreting digital evidence from autonomous vehicles and their associated systems. The work specifically considers how forensic evidence can be used to reconstruct events and establish accountability following accidents, security breaches or system malfunctions. The assignment examines the increasing importance of digital evidence generated by intelligent transportation systems and smart vehicles. Students are expected to consider data produced by different sources within an autonomous vehicle ecosystem, including LiDAR, radar and GPS sensors, vehicle control units and connected infrastructure. The report should explore how these different forms of information can be collected and forensically preserved while maintaining their evidential value for subsequent investigation and analysis. The coursework requires a detailed technical analysis rather than a general overview of autonomous vehicles or digital forensics. Students are expected to engage with academic literature, industry frameworks and technical examples, while providing critical insights into the subject. The report should analyse the practical challenges associated with AV forensics and critically examine the tools and methodologies that can be applied to obtain and interpret evidence from autonomous vehicle environments. Legal, ethical and privacy considerations form an important part of the assignment. The report should examine issues surrounding the use of autonomous vehicle evidence, including legal responsibility, regulatory considerations, privacy implications and ethical challenges associated with collecting and analysing potentially sensitive vehicle and user data. These considerations should be connected to the wider forensic investigation process and the reliability and admissibility of digital evidence. The required report should follow an academic research-paper structure, including a cover page, abstract, keywords, table of contents, clearly organised sections and subsections, references and an appendix where required. The brief requires APA referencing and a reference list at the end of the paper. Students are expected to use their own words and critically analyse the literature rather than simply summarising existing research. The assessment evaluates five equally weighted areas: structure and presentation with supporting references; balance, objectivity, critical evaluation and original insight; identification of AV-forensics challenges and quality of analysis; analysis of tools and methodologies used in AV forensics; and understanding of AV forensics together with its legal, professional and ethical considerations. Each area contributes 20% to the assessment.

The task also requires students to investigate computational efficiency by measuring execution time for different input limits and identifying more efficient coding or logical approaches. Task 2 requires students to design, build and test a simple Python implementation of the Blackjack card game. The program should simulate a single-player game against a computer-controlled dealer, allow the player to choose between hitting and standing, automatically simulate the dealer's turn, and offer the option to play additional rounds. Complex rules such as splitting and betting are excluded, and students must not implement a Python class or graphical visualisation. The submission must include the Python code and the output from five games, with sufficient storytelling in the output to allow the code to be tested from the results shown. Task 3 assesses the student's ability to critically assess, select and apply data science tools. Students work with animal lifespan information from the AnAge database and use Python, including pandas and appropriate graphical libraries, to explore and communicate insights. The task involves summarising the number of animal species represented within each animal Class and producing plots of maximum longevity against adult weight for the four Classes with the most represented species. Students must discuss whether smaller or larger animals live longer, identify extreme outliers, compare trends between animal groups and consider implications for ageing research. Task 4 examines data protection and data ethics using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) as a case study. Students must explain how a potential data breach could occur, identify the personal and sensitive information that could be compromised, and discuss consequences for patient confidentiality, institutional reputation, participation in future research and possible legal or public relations responses. A second part considers a hypothetical UK database and requires discussion of GDPR and the UK Government Data Ethics Framework, including informed consent, anonymisation, transparency, ethical governance, privacy and public trust in biomedical research. The assessment assesses two module learning outcomes. MLO2 focuses on designing, building, testing, adapting and critiquing small programs in a high-level programming language and is assessed through Tasks 1 and 2. MLO3 focuses on critically assessing, selecting and applying data science tools, libraries or algorithms throughout the data science project lifecycle and is assessed through Tasks 3 and 4. The assignment requires APA referencing and asks students to provide in-text citations and reference lists where relevant. The brief also classifies the assessment as “Amber” for Generative AI: AI tools may be used for inspiration but not to generate answers or analyse datasets. Any permitted use must be clearly acknowledged, documented and cited using APA style.

Strategic Evaluation of Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL): Organisational Strategy and Sustainability

This 2,473-word MSc Management coursework for BPP University’s Organisational Strategy and Sustainability module examines the strategic, sustainability and leadership dimensions of Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL). The report applies the module’s learning outcomes through four main areas: strategic environmental analysis, ethical and sustainable practice, evaluation of strategic options, and personal leadership and sustainability reflection. The assignment is structured around PESTEL and VRIO for strategic analysis, the Triple Bottom Line for sustainability evaluation, the Ansoff Matrix for strategic options, and Emotional Intelligence and Transformational Leadership for personal reflection. The first section evaluates HUL’s external and internal environment. PESTEL analysis considers political and legal requirements, economic pressures, social changes, technological developments and environmental risks. The report highlights issues including packaging regulation, extended producer responsibility, data privacy, commodity and energy volatility, rural–urban differences, AI-enabled operations, digital traceability, climate risk, water stress and packaging circularity. VRIO analysis then evaluates HUL’s purposeful brands and portfolio breadth, rural route-to-market, digital operations and analytics, and supplier development and sustainability governance as sources of competitive advantage. The second section assesses HUL’s ethical, sustainable and responsible practices through the Triple Bottom Line framework of People, Planet and Profit. The analysis considers workforce and community priorities, customer responsibility, renewable energy, emissions, water stewardship, waste and packaging, as well as productivity, efficiency, risk mitigation and sustainable growth. A specific packaging circularity transition is proposed, including design-for-recycling, post-consumer recycled content, lightweighting, refill and reuse pilots, collection partnerships and consumer education. The third section evaluates four strategic options using the Ansoff Matrix: urban refill and concentrate formats, rural assisted commerce through “Shakti 2.0”, an ingredient traceability platform, and precision revenue-growth management in quick-commerce. Each option is considered in relation to strategic fit, VRIO capabilities, risks, implementation actions, ownership and KPIs. The final section provides a first-person reflection on leadership and sustainability. It uses Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence and Transformational Leadership to examine learning from the strategic and sustainability analysis, including self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, collaboration and evidence-based decision-making. It also presents a 90-day leadership development plan focused on decision briefs, stakeholder pre-mortems and a personal Triple Bottom Line checklist.

Technical Evaluation and Professional Reflection on a Cloud-Based Machine Learning Fraud Detection Solution

This individual technical evaluative report forms the reflective and critical component of the Machine Learning on Cloud module. It builds directly upon a group project involving the development of a machine learning solution for financial fraud detection. The report requires each student to critically evaluate the technical decisions made within the group solution while also reflecting on their individual contribution, teamwork experience and professional development. The first component, Technical Evaluation, accounts for 50% of the individual assessment and has a suggested allocation of approximately 1,000 words. Students critically examine the group’s machine learning solution, including the approaches adopted for data preprocessing, model selection and evaluation. They are expected to discuss the suitability of the chosen techniques and metrics, identify limitations and explain how individual technical decisions affected the final performance and outcome of the fraud-detection solution. The second component, Reflection and Professional Issues, also accounts for 50% and has a suggested allocation of approximately 1,000 words. Students reflect critically on their personal contribution to the project and their experience of working within a team. The discussion addresses challenges encountered, lessons learned and how the experience contributed to technical and professional development. Professional and ethical considerations form an important part of the reflection. Relevant issues include algorithmic bias, fairness, sustainability and data privacy, particularly in relation to machine learning applications within financial services and cloud environments. Students are also required to attach their Seminar Activity Tracker as an appendix, providing evidence of weekly participation and knowledge development. The assessment therefore combines technical critique with reflective practice, requiring students to demonstrate that they understand not only how a machine learning solution was developed, but also why specific technical decisions were made, their consequences, the limitations of the resulting system and the wider ethical and professional implications of deploying AI on cloud infrastructure. Overview word count: approximately 315 words. The brief also states that AI may assist with areas such as grammar, structure, organisation of ideas and suggestions, but the main content, analysis and conclusions must be the student's own work, and AI use must be declared.

Machine Learning on Cloud: Fraud Detection Model Design, Training and Evaluation

This postgraduate group project focuses on the design, development and critical evaluation of a cloud-based machine learning solution for financial fraud detection. The scenario involves a financial services organisation seeking to detect fraudulent transactions in order to reduce financial losses and improve customer security. Students are required to analyse an appropriate dataset, develop a machine learning solution, evaluate its effectiveness and critically consider the suitability of cloud technologies for deployment. The project begins with a cloud feasibility study, requiring critical comparison of at least two major machine learning platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform. Evaluation criteria include performance, scalability, cost, compliance, integration and vendor lock-in, followed by a justified recommendation. Students then conduct exploratory data analysis to identify patterns, anomalies and correlations using appropriate visualisations such as heatmaps, histograms and boxplots. A substantial component addresses data preprocessing and class imbalance. Students are expected to clean and transform the data, apply scaling and encoding, perform feature engineering and investigate approaches such as SMOTE, undersampling and cost-sensitive learning. Each preprocessing choice must be justified in terms of its potential impact on model performance. Students must select and train at least two machine learning models, with suggested approaches including Logistic Regression, Random Forest, XGBoost and Neural Networks. Model development incorporates cross-validation and hyperparameter tuning. Evaluation uses fraud-relevant measures including Precision, Recall, F1 score, AUC and precision-recall curves, supported by confusion matrices, ROC curves and feature-importance visualisations. The project concludes with critical consideration of professional and ethical issues in cloud-based AI, including bias, fairness, transparency, data privacy and sustainability. The overall assessment therefore integrates cloud-platform evaluation, machine learning development, imbalanced classification, model evaluation and responsible AI practice. Overview word count: approximately 340 words.

Cloud and Big Data Security Application: Design, Implementation and Evaluation

This assessment for the Cloud and Big Data Technologies module requires students to design, implement and evaluate an individual cloud-based or distributed data application. The project focuses on practical solutions involving the complex transformation, processing, storage and security of big data within cloud environments. Students are expected to demonstrate how distributed data can be organised in the cloud, how data pipelines can be used to access or process distributed databases, and how appropriate security controls can be incorporated into the resulting architecture. Students have considerable freedom when selecting their application. Suggested project directions include developing a data-science solution using SQL or MongoDB with cloud storage and an appropriate security policy; implementing privacy-preserving distributed processing using techniques such as Differential Privacy; creating multi-party authentication and group-based access-control mechanisms; or designing Multi-Level Security, Attribute-Based Encryption or Role-Based Access Control solutions. Projects may also examine distributed or cloud applications using security protocols such as SSH, SSL or IPsec. Creativity and originality are explicitly encouraged. The written component is a Design and Implementation Document of no more than approximately 2,500 words. It should present the project aims and objectives, application concept, cloud and security technologies, functional and security requirements, architecture and design decisions, protocols, access-control mechanisms, implementation process, achievements, problems encountered and overall evaluation. Relevant diagrams, such as interaction or sequence diagrams, may be used to explain system behaviour and architecture. The assessment also requires submission of the functioning Cloud and Big Data Security application and a 7-minute highlight demonstration video. The video should demonstrate the application's major features, implementation details, security functionality and, where appropriate, attack scenarios. Assessment places strong emphasis on the quality of the design and implementation documentation, originality, use of advanced features, and the overall effort and technical quality of the completed application. Students are therefore expected to demonstrate independent development rather than simply reproduce an existing tutorial.
