COM SCI X 414.56

4.0 units This course introduces machine learning using Python. Students will learn structured and unstructured data processing, linear regression modeling and non-linear modeling methods used in machine learning algorithm development, optimization techniques, neural networks, and deep learning. This field is made possible due to the rapid and simultaneous evolution of available data, statistical methods, and computing power. Students learn the origins and practical applications of machine learning, how knowledge is defined and represented by computers, and the basic concepts that differentiate machine learning approaches. Machine learning algorithms can be divided into two main groups: supervised learners who are used to construct predictive models and unsupervised learners who are used to build descriptive models. Students learn the classification, numeric predictor, pattern detection, and clustering algorithms. Students learn to train a model, evaluate its performance, and improve its performance. Algorithm uses are illustrated with real-world cases, such as breast cancer diagnosis, spam filtering, identifying bank loan risk, predicting medical expenses, estimating wine quality, identifying groceries frequently purchased together, and finding teen market segments.

Programming in C# for Visual Studio.NET Platform II

4.0 units This project-oriented course covers intermediate-level topics in Microsoft application development within the context of building a complete client-server database application using a Microsoft SQL Server database and a Windows desktop client application. Students should already be familiar with Visual Studio and have some experience with the C# language. Students should be conversant with variable declaration, initialization and assignment, expressions, reference and value types, and conditional and looping constructs, as well as have a basic understanding of classes and interfaces and how they support inheritance and polymorphism. We look at how to structure a multiple-assembly Visual Studio solution to support domain-driven development of a line-of-business application and embark on development of a sample application, starting with development of the domain model classes and introducing unit testing, generic and collections, and LINQ. Students learn to design and build relational databases using Microsoft SQL Server and develop SQL queries for manipulating data, then develop a Data Access Layer for persisting domain model objects to the database using ADO.Net. Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is then introduced as Microsoft’s current user interface technology for implementing Windows desktop client applications.

Parallel with the sample application, students each design and develop an application of their own choosing from scratch as their course project.
