CSC 580: Artificial Intelligence II

The course provides an in-depth coverage of advanced concepts and techniques in artificial intelligence. The topics include advanced concepts in optimization; Markov decision processes; reinforcement learning; and advanced machine learning techniques such as support vector machines, kernel regression, ensemble classification, spectral and density-based clustering, and multi-layer neural networks. These topics will be explored in the context of modern intelligent applications such as recommender systems, text and natural language processing, chat bots, and image recognition.
