What do self-driving cars, Alexa, iPhone's face recognition technology, and ChatGPT have in common? They are driven by modern advances in artificial intelligence. Whether you’re interested in law, healthcare, art, or economics, AI is poised to transform every discipline and industry in the future.
Course Description
In this course, students will explore the foundations of machine learning and explore different applications of machine learning models. The first half of the course will examine AI’s core technologies including applications, foundational concepts, and programming tools through live lectures and coding labs. Students will not only learn about different types of machine learning models, but also apply those models to real data sets. In the second half of the course, students will complete an instructor-led group project applying AI to the discipline of their choice (e.g., music, healthcare, astrophysics, finance, etc.), utilizing the programming skills they have developed.
Prospective Instructors (subject to change)
Henry Cerbone is currently a PhD student at Oxford University studying Biology as a Rhodes Scholar. His work focuses on ferreting out where perception and control meet particularly in birds of prey as well as modeling ecosystems. He did his undergraduate at Harvard studying robotics and was interested in reinforcement learning and embedded machine learning.
Brianna Chrisman received her PhD from Stanford University and is a Machine Learning Research Scientist at GRAIL, a Silicon Valley bioengineering startup. Brianna works in the intersection of computer science and biology, writing code, developing machine learning models, and building algorithms to understand how patterns in DNA relate to disease.
