CS 598 class schedule data for spring 2012
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
56940	Lecture	ACK	10:00AM -11:20AM	TR	508 Psychology Building	Kirlik, A	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/12-05/02/12 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Cognitive Engineering Section Info: Topic: Cognitive Engineering. Covers experimental, computational and mathematical techniques useful for the analysis and design of human-technology systems at the cognitive level. Key topics including methods for modeling and supporting judgment, decision making, situation awareness, forecasting and effective human interaction with automation in technological systems and workplaces. Meets with PSYC 527, 46242.
43773	Lecture-Discussion	AK	11:00AM -12:15PM	WF	1103 Siebel Center for Comp Sci	Kolla, A	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/12-05/02/12 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Spectral Graph Theory Section Info: Topic: Spectral Graph Theory. Spectral graph theory is the study of graphs via the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the matrices associated with them. It had emerged in the last three decades as a fundamental tool in developing efficient algorithms, derandomization, coding, sampling and approximation (and this list is by no way exhaustive). In this course, we will study how combinatorial features of a graph can be revealed by its spectra as well as how to use descriptive tools to facilitate efforts for controlling graph spectra. Prerequisite: Linear algebra and probability theory.
50225	Lecture-Discussion	JHM	12:30PM -1:45PM	TR	1131 Siebel Center for Comp Sci	Hockenmaier, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/12-05/02/12 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Advanced NLP Section Info: Topic: Advanced NLP: Theory and applications of Bayesian models. In recent years, Bayesian techniques have been applied to a number of natural language processing tasks. The aim of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the theory behind these models, and to enable them to apply these techniques in their own research. We will study Bayesian models such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (topic models) and (Hierarchical) Dirichlet Processes and their applications to various natural language processing tasks. We will review both variational and sampling-based inference algorithms. The course will consist of a mixture of lectures and seminar-style presentations. A large component of this course will be a research project. Prerequisites: Machine learning (CS446), prior exposure to NLP (one of CS498, LING406, CS546) or approval of the instructor.
56909	Lecture-Discussion	MC	12:30PM -1:45PM	TR	1111 Siebel Center for Comp Sci	Caccamo, M Mohan, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/12-05/02/12 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Cyber-Physical Systems Section Info: Topic: Cyber-Physical Systems. In this course, we will delve into topics that deal with the design and theoretical analysis of cyber-physical and embedded systems. The goal of this course is to provide a deep understanding about resource management, analysis, security and safety of modern embedded systems that interact with the physical world, especially those that have different degrees of criticality and stringent timing requirements. Examples of such systems include modern automobiles, avionics and flight systems, space vehicles and satellites, mobile phones, medical equipment, power distribution grid, robotics and biomedical devices among others. This course is structured to improve students' research skills and their ability for critical thinking. In-class discussion will focus on state-of-art research papers published in top conferences and journals focusing on cyber-physical and real-time embedded systems. Course requirements will also include a project to be completed by the students. This class admits both senior undergrads and graduate students. The prerequisite for this class is CS424 (Real-Time Systems), CS431 (Embedded System Architecture) or consent of the instructor.
