Graduate CS Courses

CS526 Algorithms Credits: 3
Content: This course is a graduate level introduction to the design and analysis of algorithms. Although we will review some undergraduate level material, we will instead emphasize reading and experimentation at a level appropriate for the initiation of research. This course will have both theoretical and practical content. As course highlights, students will be expected to implement and analyze the performance of a fundamental data structure, starting with a close reading of the original research paper.

CS534 Machine Learning Credits: 3
Content: This course covers fundamental machine learning theory and techniques. The topics include basic theory, classification methods, model generalization, clustering, and dimension reduction. The material will be conveyed by a series of lectures, homeworks, and projects.
Texts: TBA
Assessments: TBA
Prerequisites: Knowledge of linear algebra, multivariate calculus, basic statistics and probability theory. Homework and project will require programming in Python, Matlab, C/C++ or R. Or permission by the instructor.

CS551 Systems Programming Credits: 3
Content: Systems programming topics will be illustrated by use of the Unix operating system. Topics include: file i/o, the tty driver, window systems, processes, shared memory, message passing, semaphores, signals, interrupt handlers, network programming and remote procedure calls. Programming examples and assignments will illustrate the system interface on actual computer hardware. All assignments will be in written in C. The department's computing lab will be used in the course to allow students to get hands-on experience with operating system and hardware topics that cannot effectively be pursued on a central timesharing computer.
