• CSCI-GA.3033-​100 Special Topics: Public Interest Technology  Sunoo Park W 12:30-2:30PM 60 Fifth Ave C15
  

  Course Description:

  Technologists are in a unique position to utilize their knowledge and skills in the public interest. This course is an introduction to the theory and practice of public interest technology, with substantial projects that will give students the opportunity to gain experience working with external stakeholders on real public-interest issues. For example, students will have the opportunity to work on a mission-driven advocacy project on a current tech policy issue in the US, e.g., related to surveillance, privacy, or AI. Collaborating organizations that students may get to work with include the ACLU, the Policing Project at NYU Law School, the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (STOP), and more.
  
  The aim of this course is to elaborate strategies of engagement with broader multidisciplinary social issues related to technology and the public interest. Thus the course consists of two parts: (1) a regular class meeting covering theories, practical approaches, and case studies of public interest technology, and (2) a project-based practicum in which students will work in groups with partners (individuals or organizations) to address a specific public interest issue. This course has no exam; grading will be based on project work and class participation. A majority of students' time will be spent collaboratively in pairs/groups for the project practicum, with weekly instructor-team meetings. In-person class attendance is required, due to the project-based and collaborative nature of the course.

  Agile software development has come to describe a specific approach and toolset that allow for the requirements of a software project to change as a project progresses without disrupting schedules, budgets, and responsibilities. The field of DevOps, a portmanteau of development and operations has introduced further processes and infrastructure to automate many of the tasks required in such development. Together, Agile's methodology and DevOps' automation have increased the speed, robustness, and scalability with which software is developed today. Upon completion of this course, students will understand the core methodologies, technologies, and tools used in the software industry today.

  (10414) Natural Language Processing  Adam Meyers TR 8:00-9:15AM Silv 208
  

  Course Description:

  Natural Language Processing (aka Computational Linguistics) is an inter-disciplinary field applying methodology of computer science and linguistics to the processing of natural languages (English, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, etc.). Typical applications include: information extraction (automatically finding information from text); information retrieval (web searches and other applications involving the automatic selection of "relevant" documents); sentiment analysis (automatic extraction of opinions about a set of issues); and machine translation (automatically translating one natural language to another). Much of the best work in the field combines two methodologies: (1) automatically acquiring statistical information from one set of "training" documents to use as the basis for probabilistically predicting the distribution of similar information in new documents; and (2) using manually encoded linguistic knowledge. For example, many supervised methods of machine learning require: a corpus of text with manually encoded linguistic knowledge, a set of procedures for acquiring statistical patterns from this data and a transducer for predicting these same distinctions in new text. This class will cover linguistic, statistical and computational aspects of this exciting field.

  (20180) Special Topics: Intro to Social Networking  Bhubaneswar Mishra TR 2:00-3:15PM CIWW 202
  

  Course Description:

  Social Networks is a specific example of many forms of networks that have become ubiquitous in our modern society. Their utilities have been enhanced by their ability to generate massive amount of personal data that need to be analyzed and disseminated quickly. The World Wide Web enables information flows among vast number of humans; Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. connect small groups of friends; amazon, eBay, etc. provide opportunities for trading, etc. These networks determine our information, influence our opinions, and shape our political attitudes. They also link us, often through important but weak ties, to other humans. Their origin is biological: going back to quorum-sensing, swarming, flocking, social grooming, gossip, etc. Yet, as we have connected our social networks to traditional human institutions (markets, justice systems, education, etc.) through new technologies, the underlying biology has become obscured, but not dormant. This course will introduce the tools, analytics and algorithms for the study of networks and their data. It will show how certain common principles permeate the functioning of these diverse networks: e.g., issues related to robustness, fragility, and interlinkages etc.

  Course Description:

  Student must also register for a Recitation section.

  Many of the top firms in the technological and financial sectors are using algorithmic problems as interview questions for assessing candidate skill. In this course we take this idea one step further and use algorithmic problem solving as way to hone programming skills. Students will use the material covered in the data structures and algorithms courses and learn new algorithmic techniques to solve challenging problems quickly. Each week will be devoted to a particular type of algorithm. Weekly problem sets will reinforce the lecture, and require students to implement their solutions in Java or C++.

  Students completing this course will be well prepared to participate in programming competitions such as the ACM Inter-Collegiate Programming Contest, TopCoder, and Google's Code Jam.
