Cognitive Science 0287 - Artificial Neural Networks

This course will introduce students to hands-on work in the artificial intelligence topics of neural networks and evolutionary computation, both as separate computer science fields and in collaboration with each other. While the course will start by exposing students to basic concepts in these fields, students will be expected to design, program and evaluate their own computer experiments. By the end of the semester successful students will have acquired important knowledge in the field of artificial neural networks and evolutionary computation, and research techniques for artificial intelligence and machine learning tasks more broadly defined. This course is programming-intensive. Prerequisite: At least a semester of solid experience with a high- level programming language.
