The science of networks is an emerging discipline of great importance that combines graph theory, probability and statistics, and facets of engineering and the social sciences. This course will provide students with the mathematical tools and computational training to understand large-scale networks in the current era of Big Data. It will introduce basic network models and structural descriptors, network dynamics and prediction of processes evolving on graphs, modern algorithms for topology inference, community and anomaly detection, as well as fundamentals of social network analysis. All concepts and theories will be illustrated with numerous applications and case studies from technological, social, biological, and information networks. Prerequisites: Some mathematical maturity, comfortable with linear algebra, probability, and analysis (e.g., MTH164-165). Exposure to programming and Matlab useful, but not required.

This is the second course offered as part of the PhD training program on augmented and virtual reality. It builds on the first course, Introduction to Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR). The goal of the course is to provide exposure to problems in the AR/VR domain addressed by various disciplines. The course consists of three one-month long modules in a semester. Modules engage students in particular aspects of AR/VR or hands-on experience on AR/VR. Modules to be offered in various years include: fundamentals of optics for AR/VR; AR/VR in the silicon; foundations of visual perception in the context of AR/VR; computer audition and acoustic rendering; measuring the human brain; deep learning and visual recognition for AR/VR; brain-computer interfacing in a virtual environment; 3D interfaces and interaction; AR/VR for collaborative education & professional training. In Spring 2024, the following three modules will be offered: 1) Fundamentals of optics for AR/VR. Optics is central to near-eye displays and sensing. In this module, students will learn basic concepts and terminology of optics for AR/VR, as well as key visual requirements. Students will then learn about different optical architectures based on free-space or waveguide optics. Emerging technologies enabling compact architectures such as freeform optics and meta optics will be discussed. Students will explore hands-on design in optical design software. This module will be designed by Jannick Rolland (Prof. Optics, Visual Science, and BME), whose research focuses on optical instrumentation across a wide range of applications, including AR/VR. 2) Computer audition and acoustic rendering. (Prof. Zhiyao Duan) Sound is an important medium for human interaction. Designing algorithms and systems that are capable of understanding, processing, generating, and rendering sound is a critical step toward natural human-data-system interfaces. In this module, students will learn basic concepts and gain hands-on experience on four fundamental problems in designing sound-based interfaces: sound recognition, source separation, music generation, and spatial audio rendering. 3) Professional encounters with leading AR/VR researchers. This module involves a series of seminars and discussion sessions with leading AR/VR researchers from academia and industry. Prerequisites: ECE 410 or OPT 410 or BME 410 or NSCI 415 or CSC 413 or CVSC 534 INSTRUCTORS: Jannick Rolland; Zhiyao Duan; Mujdat Cetin

Human activity is embodied through all our sensorimotor capacities, immersed in our immediate physical, social & cultural surroundings. Interaction technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) & Virtual Reality (VR) have shown vast potential to enhance the way we think, feel & behave by superimposing or substituting digital contents onto our reality. This new undergraduate course is an introduction to AR,VR & related technologies. This course helps students build a frame of reference of those technologies, apply them in design practices that address real-world problems, & actively reflect on social implications. CSC 172 and CSC 214 required (or proven equivalent application development experience); CSC 131 recommended.

Programming is the automation of information processing. Program analysis and transformation is the automation of programming itself---how much a program can understand and improve other programs. Because of the diversity and complexity of computer hardware, programmers increasingly depend on automation in compilers and other tools to deliver efficient and reliable software. This course combines fundamental principles and (hands-on) practical applications. Specific topics include data flow and dependence theories; static and dynamic program transformation including parallelization; memory and cache management; type checking and program verification; and performance analysis and modeling. The knowledge and practice will help students to become experts in software performance and correctness. Students taking the graduate level will have additional course requirements and a more difficult project.

In this course students will learn about the current state of Public Key Cryptography. In particular the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) process to solicit, evaluate, and standardize one or more quantum-resistant public-key cryptographic algorithms will be discussed. Quantum-Resistant Cryptography (QRC) refers to cryptographic systems that are secure against both quantum and classical computers. Such systems may be achieved through classical (i.e. non-quantum) means. The security of many commonly used cryptographic protocols (especially public-key cryptosystems) would be compromised if general-purpose large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers became a reality. This course covers the consequences of Quantum Computing and why it poses a threat to currently used cryptographic systems, and then discusses potential Post-Quantum cryptosystems designed to be resistant to such attacks. Students enrolled in this course must have a background in cryptography such as that obtained by taking CSC-281/CSC-481 (Introduction to Cryptography) or similar courses, or permission of the instructor.

This class will provide an introduction to topics at the intersection of computer science and economics, including game theory, auctions, incentive-compatible mechanism design, matching algorithms, human computation (e.g., crowdsourcing and peer prediction), trust and reputation systems, and social choice (voting) theory. We hope to convey the fact that the relationship between computer science and economics is a two-way street: It is important to consider incentives and strategic action are important when designing computation-intensive systems, and efficient and robust algorithms enable the deployment of impactful economic ideas. Prerequisites: Familiarity with probability theory, single-variable calculus, linear algebra, and basics of theoretical computer science. No background in economic theory is assumed or required. Students should also be prepared to write code in Python. Please email the instructor with any questions.

Traditional algorithms in computer science are designed in a discrete manner. Nonetheless, recent years have witnessed great advances from a continuous perspective, particularly in the design of optimization and sampling algorithms. There is a deep connection between optimization and sampling, either through optimization as the limit of sampling, or through sampling as optimization in the space of probability measures. Motivated by this viewpoint, this course aims to develop a systematic way to design and analyze algorithms for both areas from the continuous perspective. More particularly, this course starts from continuous optimization, discusses stochastic optimization in detail, introduces optimal transport as a bridge connecting optimization and sampling, and finally delves into sampling. Students should be familiar with multivariate calculus, linear algebra, basic probability and statistics, and have good MATLAB or Python programming skills. Prior knowledge of optimization and sampling is helpful but not required.
