Computer Science 590IV - Intelligent Visual Computing

Intelligent visual computing is an emerging new field that seeks to combine modern trends in machine learning, computer graphics, computer vision to intelligently process, analyze and synthesize 2D/3D visual data. The course will start by covering 2D image and 3D shape representations, classification and regression techniques, and the fundamentals of deep learning. The course will then provide an in-depth background on analysis and synthesis of images and shapes with deep learning, in particular neural networks and probabilistic graphical models. This course counts as a CS Elective toward the CS major (BA or BS).

Open to undergraduate Computer Science majors who have completed COMPSCI 311, 373 (or COMPSCI 473), and 383, each with a grade of B or better. LECT 01 FOR UNDERGRADS (INSTRUCTOR CONSENT REQUIRED); LECT 02 FOR GRADS. SEATS SAVED IN LECT O2 FOR INCOMING STUDENT REGISTRATION.
