CS 8803-IDS, Georgia Tech, Spring 2024

Instructor: Alberto Dainotti

Co-Instructor: Zachary Bischof

Teaching Assistant: Zhiyi Chen

Attendance

• In-person attendance IS required.
• This is a discussion-oriented course
  • To encourage participation, meeting recordings WILL NOT be regularly shared. I will do my best to share recordings on demand only to students who have a (documented + good) reason for not being able to attend on that specific day. Please note that participation is part of the course grade, so those joining remotely are expected to participate in in-class discussion.

Schedule

The schedule below is based on the previous year schedule and will change as the course progresses, in part based on student interests. If you are particularly interested in some topic not covered here, email the instructor.
