This course is designed to provide computer scientists with a comprehensive introduction to the field of computational biology. The course will cover the application of computational techniques to modern research challenges in biology, discussing both foundational algorithms and newly introduced methods. The necessary background on biology will be provided in order to contextualize the methods.

This course will focus on modern machine learning approaches to learn from human demonstrations, preferences, feedback, and other multimodal signals, with the goal of aligning agent goals and behaviors with human values and desires. For the purposes of both safety and practicality, it is increasingly important for AI systems to be well-aligned with human users as their capabilities improve and they are deployed more frequently in real-world settings.
