IT Concentration: Machine and Computational Learning

For those entering the program Fall 2004 semester & beyond

Contacts: Mark Goldberg and Malik Magdon-Ismail

Description:
This concentration of study prepares a student to work in the areas of Information Technology that involve the development of intelligent systems for complex computational tasks in areas such as bioinformatics, voice and image recognition, and Internet development.

The knowledge of the methods of machine and computational learning enables the student not only to identify situations where intelligent algorithms would amplify performance, but also to develop such algorithms.
