The important part to mention is that the expected completion time of your project is 1-2 months. I have extensive ML experience (no deep learning though), and I think this project would take me at least 2 months to do well. This is a long time, especially for a beginner side-project. It is good to tell people to do side-projects, but suggesting projects like this is de-motivating for beginners. If someone on your team (who is presumably an expert already) does this side-project I'd be very interested in the results, and on how long it took them - it would make a good blog post. Your proposed beginner side-project should be less complicated than a published paper with 200 citations (the paper didn't use a nn).
