Focus Your Passion
With four emphasis areas, you are able to focus on the area of artificial intelligence research that meets your professional goals.
Computer Science
Computer Science is a multi-faceted field of study that focuses on solving problems from different disciplines algorithmically. It is the foundation that artificial intelligence is built on, and a necessity for building intelligent systems. Choosing the Computer Science track will give a deeper look into both theoretical and applied concepts that are essential for of AI research and development. The track will focus on essential data structures and algorithms and will delve deeper into machine learning and deep learning.
Computational Linguistics
Computational Linguistics has been both defined by and defining the algorithm classes that have been labelled Artificial Intelligence since the term was coined in 1956. Human intelligence manifests primarily in language, facilitating externalization of thought and division of labor, which in turn made us the singularly successful social species to carry the responsibility for this planet. The latest turn in AI development again rests on algorithmic processing of human thought in natural language, which is now the central tool for interacting with these “neural” large language models and for making them interact with other “symbolic” knowledge bases the design principles of which computational linguists have engineered for decades. With the electives in the linguistic track, you can become part of this engineering force that operates current AI systems as well as design AI's future generations.
Mathematics
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its well-known branch of Machine Learning (ML) are rapidly developing fields gaining significant results in science, medicine, and industry. The ML methods most used in designing a neural network are the Gradient Descend, Stochastic Gradient Descend, Adam, and Modified Adam. These methods are developed, and use mathematical concepts that come from Calculus, Multivariate Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Matrix theory. The electives offered by the Math track of the AI program will teach the fundamentals a student, and future neural network developer needs to understand the basic ML methods to become a competitive expert in the field.
Psychology
Psychology, with an emphasis on Cognitive Science, aims to synthesize insights across disciplines from AI to Zoology. Cognitive Science considers and analyzes how the human mind works and how this differs from machine intelligence. Students taking courses in this track will gain training in formulating models of human thinking and performance, as well as testing such models using experimental methods.
