    MIS780 Advanced Artificial Intelligence for Business Assessment Task 1 Tri 2, 2026 | Deakin University

    MIS780 – Advanced Artificial Intelligence for Business Trimester 2

     

    Description

    Purpose

    This assignment aims for students to learn how to analyse data relating to a business problem and propose artificial intelligence solutions based on machine learning and data mining techniques. The report will discuss and interpret the results.

    Students will learn to:

    • Articulate problems and solutions in business terms.
    • Prepare data for different analytics tasks
    • Develop and justify sentiment analysis and topic models.
    • Assess and report valuable insights to business

    Context/Scenario

    Customer Analytics is a company specializing in gathering and finding meaning in data collected from social channels to support business decisions. As data analysts working at Customer Analytics, you are tasked with analyzing a large dataset containing customer reviews about a theme park company with three major branches in different cities: California, Paris, and Hong Kong. You are provided with a sample of 35,000 reviews (accessible via Cloud Deakin).
    Your task is to use Python and Jupyter Notebook on the Google Colab platform to process and explore the provided data. 

    You are to generate insights and provide answers to these questions of interest:

    A.Identify and compare the top 10 groups of visitors at each theme park branch according to their location of origin. Are there differences in the top visitor groups among the branches? If so, why?
    B.Compare the peak visiting times at the California branch for domestic and international visitors. Explain any differences in their visiting patterns and discuss potential reasons for such differences.
    C.Compare the overall sentiments expressed by customers about the theme parks. Which theme park received the most positive sentiments?
    D.Identify the theme park branch that received the most positive sentiment for their “services”.
    E.What are the concerns or interests of customers when visiting the theme parks?
    F.What are the differences in concerns and interests between visitors from the United States and the United Kingdom when visiting the theme parks? Explain potential reasons for such differences.

    Task and Deliverables:

    • Executive Summary: Define your problem in business terms and present your proposed approaches. Present your major findings and explain how they help to address the business problem. Cross- reference other report sections for support.
    • Data Exploration: Process and explore the characteristics of the attributes in the provided data set. Use tables or figures to support answering questions (A) and (B).
    • Sentiment analysis: Use sentiment analysis to answer questions (C) and (D).
    • Topic modelling: Use text-processing techniques to process and prepare textual data for topic modeling. Use LDA to explore topics discussed in the text reviews. Carry out experiments and demonstrate how an appropriate topic number is determined for your model. Interpret the discovered topics and answer questions (E) and (F). (Hint: Use Part-of-Speech tagging to extract only nouns for topic modelling. Remove highly frequent/infrequent words for meaningful topic discovery.)
    • Practical implication: Based on the discovered insights from your analysis, provide recommendations to businesses on how to better support customers.

    NOTE: Write code that is efficient in terms of time and space. Ensure code is clear and easy to understand, using meaningful variable names and comments where necessary. Only print or display essential outputs that are crucial for understanding, minimize unnecessary printing or displaying of large data structures or intermediate outputs.

    You are allowed to use any sample code provided in the lab materials or online resources. However, you must modify/customize such sample code to your own assignment (e.g. rename variables, labels, titles; restructure code flow, modify chart types, colour and symbols). References and citations must be provided where appropriate.

    Marking and feedback

    The marking rubric indicates the assessment criteria for this task. It is available in the CloudDeakin unit site in the Assessment folder, under Assessment Resources. Criteria act as a boundary around the task and help specify what assessors are looking for in your submission. The criteria are drawn from the ULOs and align with the GLOs. You should familiarise yourself with the assessment criteria before completing and submitting this task.
    Students who submit their work by the due date will receive their marks and feedback on CloudDeakin 15 working days (3 weeks) after the submission date.

    Extensions

    Extensions can only be granted for exceptional and/or unavoidable circumstances outside of your control. Requests for extensions must be made by 12 noon on the submission date using the online Extension Request form under the Assessment tab on the unit CloudDeakin site. All requests for extensions should be supported by appropriate evidence (e.g., a medical certificate in the case of ill health).

    Applications for extensions after 12 noon on the submission date require University level special consideration and these applications must be must be submitted via StudentConnect in your DeakinSync site.

    Late submission penalties

    If you submit an assessment task after the due date without an approved extension or special consideration, 5% will be deducted from the available marks for each day after the due date up to seven days*. Work submitted more than seven days after the due date will not be marked and will receive 0% for the task. The

    Unit Chair may refuse to accept a late submission where it is unreasonable or impracticable to assess the task after the due date. *'Day' means calendar day for electronic submissions and working day for paper submissions.
    An example of how the calculation of the late penalty based on an assignment being due on a Thursday at 8:00pm is as follows:

    Please answer the following questions in a manner that reflects contemplation and an understanding of the question being asked.  Don’t rush through and answer in a sentence or two, rather let your response be reflective of a well thought out response.

    Chapter 12:

    1. Considering the discussion of relationships presented in your text, what is it about the college experience that encourages the formation of romantic relationships among college students.  Be sure to cite plenty of examples.
    2. In the previous chapter on personality, the text makes the case that your behavior is internally controlled by your personality.  This chapter switches gears and makes the argument that your behavior is under external control through the environment.  Which position is most likely correct?  Also, consider culture in the context of this debate.  As always, be sure to give plenty of examples.

    Chapter 13:

    1. Freud has often been disparaged both publicly and in the psychological community.  Convince me that he wasn't as far out there as his critics seem to think.  Use plenty of examples to illustrate.
    2. In contrast to Freud, the humanistic approach argues that free will is a key component of human nature.  Who do you think is right?  Justify your position with plenty of examples and illustrations.

     

    Chapter 14:

    1. Most of us experience the symptoms of a disorder without having that specific label.  Why is that?  How can we manifest symptoms but not have the actual disorder?
    2. Pick any of the disorders discussed in this chapter and briefly discuss it.  Be sure to include the symptoms, frequency of the disorder, and any possible treatments.

    Using the same Case Study Worksheet from week 4 (Case Study #1), perform the same analysis on a case involving some social media or online privacy situation. Keep in mind the topic must involve some moral or ethical conundrum. Some examples would be using AI to generate posts or content and taking credit, any number of AI systems listening to you and using the information to generate search criteria, trolling, stalking, spreading misinformation, etc. One example would be the arrest of Douglass Mackey (aka Ricky Vaughn) for interfering in the 2016 election (look it up if you are interested).

    Assignment
    2: Justify Strategies for Team Cohesion

    Instructions

    Background

    In
    this scenario, imagine that you manage a work team of 10 people in a global
    information technology consulting firm. The team is diverse, with individuals
    who reflect different beliefs, ethnicities, and ages. By completing this
    assignment, you will better understand why effectively managing a team can
    encourage high levels of participation and innovation. You will also
    recommend strategies for role modeling by the leaders and team members to
    influence greater commitment, accountability, and trust. You should address
    budget and resource allocation, as appropriate, to support your recommended
    strategies. One of the goals of a manager and leader is to find ways to
    minimize the potential threat of conflict within the team, which could affect
    team performance.

    Review
    the three employee scenarios below to begin this assignment:

    • Rae is 45 years old and working on a team with two
      other people—Lance and Tress. The two are friends and in their 40s. The
      team works on the project until late at night. The next day, Lance
      presents the team project to the supervisor, saying that she stayed up
      late at night and this is what she came up with all by herself. After
      the presentation, Rae tells the supervisor that it was a team effort,
      not just Lance’s ideas. The supervisor asks Lance about this, and she
      confirms that she did not do it all by herself. The supervisor does not
      reprimand Lance. Tress confirms that it was a team effort. Rae now does
      not want to work with Lance or Tress on the team project.
    • Lance is 31 years old and relatively new to your
      company and the team. Team members consider him an asset to both. Lance
      is very talented, works hard, and shows great potential. Managers
      believe there is an opportunity for him to have a great future with the
      company. He completes his work on time and at a high level of quality
      and contributes to team goals. He often completes some of his work
      off-site, then arrives at the office later than other team members and
      often leaves early. This behavior has caused complaints among his fellow
      team members, who see Lance’s actions as a lack of commitment to the
      company and a disregard for the understood working hours.
    • Tress is in her 40s and tells everyone she is just
      using this job as a steppingstone to become CEO of this company—or any
      company—one day. She participates very little in the group. She spends a
      lot of time telling supervisors what she has accomplished in her career
      and says she should not have to be part of a team because she is very
      knowledgeable. She believes that teams slow her down.
