Topics in Natural and Artificial Intelligence (SYMSYS 206)

3 credits · Graduate

We will read a selection of recent papers from psychology, computer science, and other fields. We will aim to understand: How human-like are state of the art artificial intelligence systems? Where can AI be better informed by recent advances in cognitive science? Which ideas from modern AI inspire new approaches to human intelligence? Specific topics will be announced prior to the beginning of term. "Registration is limited to graduate students except by instructor consent.
