The course provides an introduction to machine learning algorithms and applications. Machine learning algorithms answer the question: "How can a computer improve its performance based on data and from its own experience?" The course is roughly divided into thirds: supervised learning (learning from labeled data), reinforcement learning (learning via trial and error), and real-world considerations like ethics, safety, and fairness.

The Course explores key concepts of artificial intelligence, including state-space and heuristic search techniques, game playing, knowledge representation, automated planning, reasoning under uncertainty, decision theory and machine learning. We will examine how these concepts are applied in the context of several applications.

The design and operation of modern computer operating systems. Review of capabilities of typical computer hardware. Topics include command language interpreter (the shell), processes, concurrency, inter-process communication, linking and loading, memory management, transactions, file systems, distributed systems, security, and protection. Programming projects in Java and C.

This course introduces the fundamental concepts of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) computer graphics. It covers the basic methods for modeling, rendering, and imaging. Topics include image processing, 2D and 3D modeling, 3D graphics pipeline, WebGL, shading, texture mapping, ray tracing, 3D printing. Throughout the class, students will learn algorhithmic ways to model the visual world, and write JavaScript programs with WebGL to implement various computer graphics algorithms.

This course offers a broad introduction to the forensic investigation of digital devices. We cover the preservation, recovery, harvesting, and courtroom presentation of information from file systems, operating systems, networks, and media files. The primary goal of the class is to understand why and from where information is recoverable in these systems. We also cover relevant issues from law, privacy, and current events.

Data science uses various concepts, practices, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge and insights from data. It encompasses techniques from machine learning, statistics, databases, visualization, and several other fields. When properly integrated, these techniques can help human analysts make sense of vast stores of digital information.

Computing has become data-driven, and databases are now at the heart of commercial applications. The purpose of this course is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the use of data management systems within the context of various applications. Some of the covered topics include application-driven database design, schema refinement, implementation of basic transactions, data on the web, and data visualization.

The World Wide Web was proposed originally as a collection of static documents inter-connected by hyperlinks. Today, the web has grown into a rich platform, built on a variety of protocols, standards, and programming languages, that aims to replace many of the services traditionally provided by a desktop operating system. This course will study core technologies, concepts, and techniques behind the creation of modern web-based systems and applications. This course satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for CS and INFORM Majors.
