    Topics: Vega-Lite, D3, visual analytics, interactive visualizations, dashboard design.
  • CS 728/828 Deep Learning, Dr. Jian Wu, Tuesday 6-8:40  
    Topics: fully-connected neural networks, recurrent neural networks, convolutional neural networks, regularization, generalization, loss function, backpropagation, attention, transformer, graph neural networks, and deep reinforcement learning.           
  • CS 795/895 Foundation Models of Data Science, Dr. Jian Wu, Monday & Wednesday 1:30-2:45

Drs. Michael L. Nelson, Sampath Jayarathna, and Vikas Ashok will not be teaching in Spring 2025.  Non-WSDL members will teach the data science courses WSDL often covers, with Dr. Ashok Kumar Veerasamy teaching sections of CS 620, CS 624, and CS 625, and Dr. Dushan Wadduwage also teaching a section of CS 620.  

 The Fall 2025 semester is still undecided, but the following courses are likely:

  • CS 625 Data Visualization, Dr. Michele C. Weigle
  • CS 735/835 Web Archiving Forensics, Dr. Michael L. Nelson

Previous course offerings: F24, S24, F23, S23, F22, S22, F21, S21, F20, S20, F19, S19, and F18.
