  • CS 315: Web Search and Mining

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Metaxas NOT OFFERED IN 2009-10. OFFERED IN 2010-11. In the last decade we have experienced an explosive growth of information through the web. Locating information seems to be very easy, while determining the quality of information can be tricky. This course is for students who want to know why search engines can answer your queries fast and (most of the time) accurately, why other times seem to be miss-ing the point and provide untrustworthy information, and how one can design a Web site that acquires high visibility on the Web. We will cover traditional information retrieval methods and web search algorithms such as crawlers and spiders, with a focus on probabilistic and graph-theoretic methods that can detect Web spam. We will also cover some basic understanding of text mining and data clustering. Time permitting, we will examine other relevant issues of the information explosion era, such as the shape and structure of the Web, epistemol-ogy of information and properties of large random networks. Not open to students who have taken this topic as CS 349. Alternate year course. Prerequisite: 230 Distribution: Mathematical Modeling Semester: N/O. Offered in 2010-11. Unit 1.0

  • CS 332: Visual Processing by Computer and Biological Vision Systems

    0.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Hildreth An introduction to algorithms for deriving symbolic information about the three-dimensional environment from visual images. Aspects of models for computer vision systems will be related to perceptual and physiological observations on biological vision systems. Computer vision software written in MATLAB will be used to implement and test models. Topics include: edge detection, stereopsis, motion analysis, shape from shading, color, visual reasoning, object recognition. Students are required to attend an additional 70-minute discussion section each week. Alternate year course. Prerequisite: 112 or 230 or permission of the instructor.

  • CS 343: Advanced Computer Organization and Design with Laboratory

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    NOT OFFERED IN 2009-10. OFFERED IN 2010-11. This course explores advanced computer organization and design. The interaction of hardware and software at a variety of levels is studied to provide a framework for how to design a computer. These ideas are also applied to understand how a computer system works and why it performs as it does. Examples and measurements based on commercial systems are used to create realistic design experiences. In addition, RISC architectures for current desktop, server, and embedded computers will also be surveyed. Integral to the course is a three-hour required weekly laboratory. In the laboratory, students write behavioral models of computer components using VHDL, a commercial computer design language. Most significantly, students will engage in an intensive, semester-long project in which they design a simple 16-bit RISC-style microprocessor. This includes the design of an instruction interpre-ter, a register file, a single-cycle, and a multi-cycle CPU. The lectures complement the labs. Alternate year course. Prerequisite: 240. Not open to students who have taken this course as a topic of CS 349. Distribution: Mathematical Modeling. This course satisfies the laboratory requirement. Semester: N/O. Offered in 2010-11. Unit: 1.25

  • CS 349: Advanced Topics in Computer Science Topic A:Tangible User Interfaces

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Shaer Tangible user interfaces emerge as a novel human-computer interaction style that interlinks the physical and digital worlds. Extending beyond the limitations of the computer mouse, keyboard and monitor, tangible user interfaces allow users to take advantage of their natu-ral spatial skills while supporting collaborative work. Students will be introduced to conceptual frameworks, the latest research, and a varie-ty of techniques for designing and building these interfaces. Developing tangible interfaces requires creativity as well as an interdisciplinary perspective. Hence, students will work in teams to design, prototype and physically build tangible user interfaces. Prerequisite: CS 249 HCI or CS 215 or CS 230, or permission of instructor Distribution: Mathematical Modeling Semester: Fall Unit: 1.0 Topic B: Games Gold This course will give an overview of how to design a good game, tools for analyzing game design and game strategies, and the program-ming tools necessary to bring your game to life on a computer. Genres discussed will include puzzle, board, card, role-playing, simulation, music, real-time strategy, first-person, adventure, interactive fiction, economic, and indie ?concept? games. Topics will include probability, game theory, networking, introductory animation and artificial intelligence, sound, and readings from famous game designers .
