COM S 578: Empirical Methods in Machine Learning and Data Mining
ROOM
CHANGE: beginning Tuesday, September 3, will meet in Hollister B14.
COM
S 685:
The Structure of Information Networks. [NEW]
4 credits. Prerequisite: COM
S 482. Meeting Time:
MWF
1:25-2:15.
Information networks such as the World Wide Web are characterized by the
interplay between heterogeneous content and a complex underlying link structure.
This course covers recent research on algorithms for analyzing such
networks and models that abstract their basic properties.
Topics include combinatorial and probabilistic techniques for link
analysis, centralized and decentralized search algorithms, generative models for
networks, and connections with work
COM
S 750: Evolutionary Computation and
Design Automation (also MAE 650)
4
credits variable. Prerequisite:
programming experience or permission of instructor.
Meeting Time: MW 2:55-4:10pm.
Covers advanced topics in evolutionary algorithms and their application
to computational design. The course provides insight to a variety of
evolutionary computation paradigms, as well as governing dynamics of
co-evolution, arms races, and symbiosis. Topics include artificial life,
evolutionary robotics, and applications in a variety of domains in engineering,
science, and art. The course is suitable for students interested in
computational techniques for addressing open-ended design problems computational
models of evolutionary discovery. The
course will be comprised of lectures, paper readings, and discussions.
Grading based on critical paper reviews and individual projects.
COM S 751: Media Research and Critical Design (also CIS 751). [NEW]
4 credits. Prerequisite: Graduate standing in computer science or equivalent ability to read technical research papers. Contact instructor in case of doubt. Meeting Time/Location: Tuesday 6:30-7:45pm in Hollister 312 and Friday 1:25-2:15 in Rhodes 484.
Media research practices which incorporate cultural criticism into technology design. Topics include tangible media, ubiquitous computing, speculative design, and interactive narrative. Computer science content draws on interactive art, cultural studies, and interaction design.
