CORE-UA.0109-001 Quantitative Reasoning: Mathematics and Computing Joanna Klukowska
Office Hours MW 9:30-10:45AM Silv 507

This course teaches key mathematical concepts using the new Python programming language. The first part of the course teaches students how to use the basic features of Python: operations with numbers and strings, variables, Boolean logic, control structures, loops and functions. The second part of the course focuses on the phenomena of growth and decay: geometric progressions, compound interest, exponentials and logarithms. The third part of the course introduces three key mathematical concepts: trigonometry, counting problems and probability. Students use Python to explore the mathematical concepts in labs and homework assignments. No prior knowledge of programming is required.

(9548) Special Topics: Intro to Social Networking Bhubaneswar Mishra
Office Hours MW 11:00-12:15PM 60 Fifth Ave 110

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.

This class will examine the challenges of scaling up a data-centric web application to serve millions of users. Students will learn and apply distributed computing concepts as they convert a simple monolithic web service to a scalable distributed architecture, with an emphasis on back-end components. Students will be introduced to the practice of scaling by distribution, and the exercises will have students apply a combination of popular open source technologies and code newly written by them, as they continue to augment the service. Lectures will cover topics such as Data models (Relational Databases vs No-SQL); Data partitioning; Caching; the RPC abstraction and RESTful APIs; distributed data processing pipelines; logging and monitoring; replication; and managed cloud technologies. We will also review existing popular systems that apply these concepts, as case studies. Topics: distributed computing, distributed storage systems, replication and consistency, Open Source technologies.

Office Hours TR 8:00-9:15AM 60 Fifth Ave C10

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.

Office Hours TR 12:30-1:45PM CIWW 102

Most of us have learned to program a single microprocessor (single core) using a high-level programming language like C/C++, Java, ... This is called sequential programming. We feel very comfortable with this because we think in a sequential way and give the machine statements to be executed in sequence. However, this has to change. A microprocessor with single core no longer exists in almost all computers we are using today (including your tablets and smart phones). Most of our devices are now multicore processors. A multicore processor contains several cores (called CPUs or cores) on-chip. To make the best use of these multicore chips we need to program them in-parallel. Sequential programming, for all platforms from smartphones to supercomputers, is falling out of fashion and taking back-seat to parallel programming. How to think in parallel? How to write code in parallel to make the best use of the underlying hardware? How is that new hardware different from the traditional one? What will the future be for the software and hardware? This is the topic of this course.
