NEW COURSE OFFERING FOR FALL 2009
 

CS495-1 -Machine Learning

Computer programs that learn with experience aren't limited to neural networks.  There are a wide spread of different techniques based on decision trees, Bayesian classifiers, belief networks, instance-based learning and support vector machines.  Some strategies can be surprisingly effective for their simplicity depending on the application.

In this course you will learn how to write programs and autonomous agents that improve as they gain more experience.

The course is  four-credits and is scheduled on MWRF from 1:00 - 1:50 p.m.

For more information contact Prof. Michael R. Kowalczyk.
