Four WS-DL classes are being offered for Spring 2020:
  • CS 395 Research Methods in Data and Web Science is taught by Dr. Michael L. Nelson, Wednesdays 4:20pm - 7pm.  This class will introduce undergraduates to writing proposals, reading & writing papers, giving presentations, Python, Web APIs, reproducibility, LaTeX, and GitHub.
  • CS 432/532 Web Science is taught by by Dr. Michele C. Weigle, Tues/Thurs, 11am-12:15pm.  This class explores web phenomena with a variety of data science tools such as Python, R, D3, ML, and IR.  
  • CS 480/580 Intro to Artificial Intelligence is taught by Dr. Vikas Ashok, Tues/Thur, 3-4:15pm.  The class will cover fundamental concepts, principles, and techniques in Artificial Intelligence. Topics include problem representation, problem-solving methods, search, pattern recognition, natural language processing, vision processing, machine learning, and expert systems.
  • CS 495/595 Intro to Data Mining is taught by Dr. Sampath Jayarathana,  Tues/Thurs, 5:45-7pm.  This class will introduce concepts, techniques, and tools to deal with various facets of data mining practices such as data preprocessing, pattern mining, outlier analysis, and mining of text, data streams, time series, spatial, and graph data.
