Advanced Studio on the Production of Space
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This class is developed around the concept of disobedient interference within the existing models of production of space and knowledge.
Modeling is the main modus operandi of the class as students will be required to make critical diagrammatic cuts through processes of production in different thematic registers – from chemistry, law and economy to art, architecture and urbanism – in order to investigate the sense of social responsibility and control over the complex agendas embedded in models that supports production of everyday objects and surroundings. Students will be encouraged to explore relations between material or immaterial aspects and agencies of production, whether they emerged as a consequence of connection of mind, body and space, or the infrastructural, geographical and ecological complexities of the Anthropocene. These production environments will be taken as modeling settings.

Foundations of Cognition
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted

Rating
0.0 stars

Advances in cognitive science have resolved, clarified, and sometimes complicated some of the great questions of Western philosophy: what is the structure of the world and how do we come to know it; does everyone represent the world the same way; what is the best way for us to act in the world. Specific topics include color, objects, number, categories, similarity, inductive inference, space, time, causality, reasoning, decision-making, morality and consciousness. Readings and discussion include a brief philosophical history of each topic and focus on advances in cognitive and developmental psychology, computation, neuroscience, and related fields. At least one subject in cognitive science, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, or artificial intelligence is required. An additional project is required for graduate credit.

Introduction to C Memory Management and C++ Object-Oriented Programming
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Ever hang your head in shame after your Python program wasn't as fast as your friend's C program? Ever wish you could use objects without having to use Java? Join us for this fun introduction to C and C++! We will take you through a tour that will start with writing simple C programs, go deep into the caves of C memory manipulation, resurface with an introduction to using C++ classes, dive deeper into advanced C++ class use and the C++ Standard Template Libraries. We'll wrap up by teaching you some tricks of the trade that you may need for tech interviews.
We see this as a "C/C++ empowerment" course: we want you to come away understanding

why you would want to use C over another language (control over memory, probably for performance reasons),
why you would want to use C++ rather than C (objects), and
how to be useful in C and C++.

In this lab, students will use a word bank on the whiteboard to describe people, places, and things in the presentation slides. Students will first be asked to provide adjectives for color, positive adjectives, and negative adjectives. Students will then flip two coins to determine the sentence they will construct.NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements:I can use simple descriptions to describe people, places, and things.I can say whether an object is fast or slow, clean or dirty, etc.I can say whether an object is NOT fast or slow, clean or dirty, etc.

In this lab, students will practice connecting sentences with te-form by describing a handful of pictures. Pairs of students will then conduct a mock tour, with one student acting as a tour guide and the other acting like a famous historical figure. Once the tour guide has learned enough about the “famous person,” the students will then schedule a tour together, keeping in mind the information gathered from the interview. NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements:I can schedule a day’s worth of activities for another person.I can ask about someone’s preferences, including their likes and dislikes.

Modularity, Domain-specificity, and the Organization of Knowledge

Rating
0.0 stars

This course will consider the degree and nature of the modular organization of the mind and brain. We will focus in detail on the domains of objects, number, places, and people, drawing on evidence from behavioral studies in human infants, children, normal adults, neurological patients, and animals, as well as from studies using neural measures such as functional brain imaging and ERPs. With these domains as examples, we will address broader questions about the role of domain-general and domain-specific processing systems in mature human performance, the innateness vs. plasticity of encapsulated cognitive systems, the nature of the evidence for such systems, and the processes by which people link information flexibly across domains.

Representation and Modeling for Image Analysis
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Most algorithms in computer vision and image analysis can be understood in terms of two important components: a representation and a modeling/estimation algorithm. The representation defines what information is important about the objects and is used to describe them. The modeling techniques extract the information from images to instantiate the representation for the particular objects present in the scene. In this seminar, we will discuss popular representations (such as contours, level sets, deformation fields) and useful methods that allow us to extract and manipulate image information, including manifold fitting, markov random fields, expectation maximization, clustering and others.
For each concept -- a new representation or an estimation algorithm -- a lecture on the mathematical foundations of the concept will be followed by a discussion of two or three relevant research papers in computer vision, medical and biological imaging, that use the concept in different ways. We will aim to understand the fundamental techniques and to recognize situations in which these techniques promise to improve the quality of the analysis.
