Applications of Artificial Intelligence
In consultation with their advisor, students choose one or more courses
among courses that allow them to devote learning to the application of AI
techniques to solve problems in a particular domain (e.g., autonomous
systems, image processing, bioinformatics)
Advanced Techniques of Artificial Intelligence
Students choose one or more courses that extend the core knowledge to
deepen expertise in core AI techniques and/or their mathematical
underpinnings. Examples of courses in this category would be more advanced
techniques, deep learning, data mining, as well as advanced statistical
courses such as applied regression or Bayesian statistics.
Additional Electives
Student complete two additional elective courses from among the previous
cate-gories or selected from a variety of disciplines that are not specifically AI,
but which support student’s knowledge base and goals in relevant ways.
