Computer Science Major — Computer Science Tracks

Machine Intelligence

This track is designed to prepare students to work in fields related to management and analysis of data, including areas such as machine learning, information retrieval and data mining. The goal is to prepare students to understand and effectively apply in practice the principles and techniques of data and knowledge representation and search as well as learning and reasoning with data.
