|
XX |
A. After reviewing the common and unique course
lists, this course does not currently exist and therefore will be
unique. Provide the complete
description as it will appear in the system unique database including
prerequisites and corequisites. If the course contains a lecture and
laboratory component, identify both the course and laboratory numbers (xxx
and xxxL) and credit hours associated with
each. Omit 1.B and 1.C. and complete
the rest of the request form. |

|
|
This course will study computer algorithms that automatically improve with experience. Applications range from discovering general rules in data sets to intelligent information filtering or search systems that adapt users’ interests. Topics may include: decision trees, artificial neural networks, Bayesian learning, genetic algorithms, support vector systems, and case-based learning. Prerequisite: CSC 300 and MATH 316 or instructor approval |

Comments from SDSM&T - We would like to request
that DSU submit this as a * unique * course (and, consequently, with a
different course number as we already have CSC 448/548 on our books). My CSC
colleagues
thought it unlikely that the proposed course is a sufficiently close match to
our course to label it as a common course.
