Artificial Intelligence

(MS in Computer Science)

Students interested in AI require a broad range of skills including elements of data science and basic data analysis, but also a demonstrable ability to apply those skills in advanced projects with integrated, intelligent systems. The following courses are important to establish these skills, and an independent study opportunity or significant extra-curricular project effort is suggested as a portfolio item indicating the ability to integrate the necessary data analysis and CS skills.

Consider these courses:

• COMP 479: Machine Learning
• COMP 484: Artificial Intelligence
• Natural Languages Processing (still special topics COMP 488: Topics in Computer Science)
• Computer Vision (proposed)
• Computational Neuroscience (still special topics COMP 488: Topics in Computer Science)
• Faculty directed research: 6 credits of COMP 490: Independent Project
• Required COMP 417: Social, Legal, and Ethical Issues in Computing, COMP 413: Intermediate Object-Oriented Development and COMP 460: Algorithms and Complexity
