The class will meet twice a week for one and one-half hours each time. Enrollment is limited to 20. Cognitive scientists and biologists want to understand how the minds and brains of animals work and how they evolved. In this course we will grapple with the nature of intelligence and behavior from all of these perspectives. Students will examine the main methods and results that have emerged within the fields of animal behavior, animal cognition, artificial intelligence and robotics.
Enrollment is open, by instructor permission.
In this course students will explore several evolutionary computation techniques and apply them to problems of their choosing. The class will meet twice weekly for one hour and twenty minutes. Enrollment is limited to 20. Programming Language Paradigms Microprocessors manipulate patterns of bits in small numbers of simple ways. But high-level programming languages allow us to think of these bits and the processes that manipulate them in a remarkable variety of ways.
