Computer Science Final Year Topic: Design and Evaluation of Searchable Error Log Summariser

This Computer Science final year project investigates grouping recurring application failures without discarding useful context, with an explicit prototype scope and a reproducible evaluation plan.

Why choose this project topic?

The practical value of this topic lies in grouping recurring application failures without discarding useful context. It gives a student a demonstrable computing problem, with cluster purity, rare-error retention and processing throughput providing concrete evidence for a critical project discussion.

How effectively can template extraction group log messages with changing identifiers?

Agree the available tools, workload size and evaluation criteria with your supervisor; adapt grouping recurring application failures without discarding useful context to a clearly bounded institutional or laboratory setting.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify the requirements and assumptions for grouping recurring application failures without discarding useful context.
  2. 02Generate or sanitise permissioned logs, implement token masking and clustering and compare groups with manually labelled failure families.
  3. 03Evaluate cluster purity, rare-error retention and processing throughput against a documented baseline and discuss failure cases.

A suggested research approach

Generate or sanitise permissioned logs, implement token masking and clustering and compare groups with manually labelled failure families. Record the chosen implementation, dataset construction and repeatable test conditions before comparing cluster purity, rare-error retention and processing throughput. Keep development and evaluation cases separate where possible, and retain failed cases in the analysis rather than reporting only successful demonstrations.

What you will need

  • Synthetic or sanitised logs
  • Failure-family annotations
  • Local log analysis environment

Keep your project scope clear

Sanitisation needs verification; grouping similar text does not prove a common root cause. A project write-up does not supply a working application.
