The mathematics of neuroscience have reached a level that it can fill a 3 hr course at the third year undergraduate level. This material is important for students who are interested in artificial neural networks and machine learning. The mathematics of neuroscience is a good training ground for extended the techniques of artificial neural networks and novel extensions of machine learning. Prerequisites: ECE 310, Math one of MATH 284, 285 or 286 (differential equations) Restriction(s): Not intended for Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
46968	Lecture	SMA	2:00PM -3:20PM	MW	3015 Electrical & Computer Eng Bldg	Driggs-Campbell, K Kim, J Mitra, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/21/20-05/06/20 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Principles of Safe Autonomy Section Info: This course introduces key algorithms and techniques for performing safety analysis of powerful autonomous systems such as autonomous cars, delivery drones, and manufacturing robots. Specifically, we introduce key algorithms in sensing, perception, control, and analysis, with a view towards understanding their basic assumptions and performance guarantees. What are the assumptions and what can be guaranteed by these modules? How to combine assumptions and guarantees of individual modules to make compositional arguments about system-level safety and assurance cases? The course also provides exposure to some of the state-of-the-art software tools for sensing, control, modelling, and analysis. Our approach will be to cover one or two algorithms / approaches in each topic and discuss their correctness arguments and performance trade-offs. Students will get experience with latest tools through labs and home works and they will perform hand-on laboratory work on the Polaris GEM autonomous vehicle platform at the highbay. Prerequisites: ECE 220, ECE 313
