  • 3.00 Credits

    Computational approaches to speech generation and understanding. Topics include speech recognition and understanding, speech analysis for computational linguistics research, and speech synthesis. Speech applications including dialogue systems, data mining, summarization, and translation. Exercises involve data analysis and building a small text-to-speech system. - J. Hirschberg Prerequisites: Prerequisites: COMS W3133, or W3134, or W3137, or the instructor's permission. General Education Requirement: Quantitative and Deductive Reasoning (QUA). Not offered in 2009-2010. Lect: 3. 3 pts.
  • 3.00 Credits

    General aspects of knowledge representation (KR). The two fundamental paradigms (semantic networks and frames) and illustrative systems. Topics include hybrid systems, time, action/plans, defaults, abduction, and case-based reasoning. Throughout the course particular attention will be paid to design tradeoffs between language expressiveness and reasoning complexity, and issues relating to the use of KR systems in larger applications. Prerequisites: COMS W4701. General Education Requirement: Quantitative and Deductive Reasoning (QUA). Lect: 3. 3 pts.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Introductory course in computer vision. Topics include image formation and optics, image sensing, binary images, image processing and filtering, edge extraction and boundary detection, region growing and segmentation, pattern classification methods, brightness and reflectance, shape from shading and photometric stereo, texture, binocular stereo, optical flow and motion, 2-D and 3-D object representation, object recognition, vision systems and applications. - S. Nayar Prerequisites: The fundamentals of calculus, linear algebra, and C programming. Students without any of these prerequisites are advised to contact the instructor prior to taking the course.

Topics include coordinate frames and kinematics, computer architectures for robotics, integration and use of sensors, world modeling systems, design and use of robotic programming languages, and applications of artificial intelligence for planning, assembly, and manipulation. - P. Allen Prerequisites: COMS W3137. General Education Requirement: Quantitative and Deductive Reasoning (QUA). Lect: 3. 3pts.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Visual input as data and for control of computer systems. Survey and analysis of architecture, algorithms, and underlying assumptions of commercial and research systems that recognize and interpret human gestures, analyze imagery such as fingerprint or iris patterns, generate natural language descriptions of medical or map imagery. Explores foundations in human psychophysics, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence. Prerequisites: COMS W3137. General Education Requirement: Quantitative and Deductive Reasoning (QUA). Lect: 3. 3 pts.
  • 3.00 Credits

    In this course we will explore the latest advances in biometrics as well as the machine learning techniques behind them. Students will learn how these technologies work and how they are sometimes defeated. Grading will be based on homework assignments and a final project. There will be no midterm or final exam. This course shares lectures with COMS E6737. Students taking COMS E6737 are required to complete additional homework problems and undertake a more rigorous final project. Students will only be allowed to earn credit for COMS W4737 or COMS E6737 and not both. - P. Belhumeur Prerequisites: A background at the sophomore level in computer science, engineering, or like discipline. Corequisites: None General Education Requirement: Quantitative and Deductive Reasoning (QUA). 3 points
  • 3.00 Credits
