CSCI-736 Neural Networks and Machine Learning Syllabus

Catalogue Description

The course will introduce students into the current state of artificial neural networks. It will review different application areas such as intrusion detection and monitoring systems, pattern recognition, access control and biological authentication, and their design. The students will be required to conduct research and analysis of existing applications and tools as well as to implement a course programming project on design of a specified application based on neural networks and/or fuzzy rules systems. (CSCI-630 or CSCI-331 or permission of instructor

Course Outcomes

• Students will be able to advance their theoretical knowledge of artificial intelligence methodologies in different applications. (supports program outcome 2) Evaluation: by project report and tests
• Students will be able to learn the structure and design concepts of neural networks applications. (supports program outcome 2) Evaluation: by assignments and tests
• Students will be able to advance their communication and presentation skills. (supports program outcomes 3) Evaluation: by presentation on the topic assigned
• Students will be able to advance their research and analytical skills. (supports program outcomes 4) Evaluation: by presentation on the topic assigned

Course Policies

This class will be taught in a blended mode; in this case the class meeting time will be reduced but the students will have to do more work independently and online. Please, see Welcome to my class Introductory letter and mycourses for further information
