Artificial Intelligence (AI) assisted software solutions have made substantial inroads in critical aspects of modern existence where they routinely make safety-, socio-, and legal- critical decision with certainty and swift. Instances of such AI-assisted decisions include: self-driving cars deciding to stop, implantable pacemakers deciding to pace, or the COMPAS (Correctional Offender Management Profiling for Alternative Sanctions) software deciding if individuals are prone to reoffend. These AI-assisted software are data-driven: they adapt their behavior based experiences in the form of data: be it the expertly curated data in supervised learning, surprising patterns hidden in raw data in unsupervised learning, or the self-generated data guided by expertly designed reward signals in reinforcement learning. The focus of Dr. Ashutosh Trivedi's research is on enabling rigorous system engineering, specifically through formal methods, for data-driven systems to enhance safety, security, fairness and accountability.

CSCI 2270 - Computer Science 2: Data Structures
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2019 / Spring 2020 / Spring 2021 / Spring 2022 / Spring 2023
Studies data abstractions (e.g., stacks, queues, lists, trees, graphs, heaps, hash tables, priority queues) and their representation techniques (e.g., linking, arrays). Introduces concepts used in algorithm design and analysis including criteria for selecting data structures to fit their applications. Knowledge OF C++ is highly recommended. Degree credit not granted for this course and CSCI 2275. Same as CSPB 2270.
CSCI 3434 - Theory of Computation
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2023
Introduces the foundations of formal language theory, computability, and complexity. Shows relationship between automata and various classes of languages. Addresses the issue of which problems can be solved by computational means, and studies complexity of solutions.
CSCI 4831 - Special Topics in Algorithms
Primary Instructor
