Other classes by Anne Ge Collins

This course will provide advanced students in cognitive science and computer science with the skills to develop computational models of human cognition, giving insight into how people solve challenging computational problems, as well as how to bring computers closer to human performance. The course will explore three ways in which researchers have attempted to formalize cognition -- symbolic approaches, neural networks, and probability and statistics -- considering the strengths and weaknesses of each.

Class Notes

CogSci classes do NOT allow time conflicts. Neither the instructor or the Cogsci advising staff will approve enrollment in this course while a time conflict exists in a students' schedule.
