Les joyeux vainqueurs du premier semestre...
Machine Learning and Data MiningModels of algorithms for dimensionality reduction, nonlinear regression, classification, clustering and unsupervised learning; applications to computer graphics, computer games, bio-informatics, information retrieval, e-commerce, databases, computer vision and artificial intelligence.
Modelling and SimulationNumeric models of dynamic systems with emphasis on discrete stochastic systems. State description of models, common model components and entities. A thorough description of a common simulation language. Simulation using algebraic languages. Methodology of simulation: data collection, model design, analysis of output, optimization, validation. Elements of queuing theory and its relationship to simulation. Applications to models of computer systems.
Advanced Software EngineeringSpecification, design, construction and validation of multi-version software systems.
Strategies for University WritingStudy and application of the principles of university-level discourse, with emphasis on expository and persuasive writing. Essays and exercises are required.
... et du second. Ca va glorieusement ressembler à rien cette année !! (académiquement parlant, s'entend :))
Advanced Relational DatabasesPhysical database design, file organization, indexing and hashing, multimedia issues, relational query processing and optimization.
Advanced Algorithms Design and AnalysisThe study of advanced topics in the design and analysis of algorithms and associated data structures. Topics include algorithms for graph-theoretic; algebraic and geometric problems; algorithms on nonsequential models; complexity issues; approximation algorithms.
Intelligent SystemsPrinciples and techniques underlying the design, implementation and evaluation of intelligent computational systems. Applications of artificial intelligence to natural language understanding, image understanding and computer-based expert and advisor systems. Advanced symbolic programming methodology.
Computers and SocietyImpact of computer technology on society; historical perspectives; social and economic consequences of large-scale information processing systems and automatic control; legal and ethical problems in computer applications. Computers and the individual: machine versus human capabilities, fact and fancy; problematic interface between man and machine.
(note: apprendre l'anglais, cet été. sinon je vais mourir avant octobre :))
