HarnessingDataSci/SocietalGood

This is a project-based course in which students will explore using large-scale datasets and data analysis to address real-world societal problems in domains such as sustainability, health, and work with different techniques of data analysis and processing. Students will address problems of societal or industrial relevance. Each semester, the course will offer one or more real-world datasets and a selection of sample problems and students will define a project based on these datasets to address a real-word problem in a group setting. Students will collaborate in groups for their project.

Intro to Machine Learning

The course provides an introduction to machine learning algorithms and applications, and is intended for students with no prior experience with machine learning. 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.

Artificial Intelligence

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.

Operating Systems

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 C.
