Prerequisite Modules:
Rationale and Purpose of the Module:
To prepare students to take a range of Artificial Intelligence related modules by introducing the associated scientific computing, programming language and host platforms.
Syllabus:
1. Scripting Languages and Environments for Scientific Computing: Modern scripting languages (e.g. Python, Julia) and environments.
2. Numeric: Numerics support in typical scientific scripting (e.g., Numpy/Scipy). Matrices and linear algebra
3. Graphics and Scientific Visualization: Using scripting languages to build scientific visualizations (scalar, vector fields).
4. Acceleration: Accelerating scientific codes. Threading and parallelism.
5. Random Numbers and Probability: Random number generation: linear congruential generators. Distributions: uniform, normal, etc. Bayesian methods: Gaussian naïve Bayes classification.
7. Classifiers and Optimization: Simple classifiers. K-means. Linear classifiers: Perceptron. Least squares and gradient descent. Other cost functions: cross-entropy. Application: training classifiers. Modern optimization for neural networks: Nesterov momentum, ADAM optimizer.
8. Scientific Computing in the Cloud: Docker images. Cloud services. Running scientific code in the cloud.
Learning Outcomes:
Cognitive (Knowledge, Understanding, Application, Analysis, Evaluation, Synthesis)
1. Given a target programming language, the student will become proficient in the syntax necessary to implement standard programming constructs.
