COMS 5750: Computational Perception
(Cross-listed with HCI 5750/ CPRE 5750).
Credits: 3. Contact Hours: Lecture 3.
This class covers statistical and algorithmic methods for sensing, recognizing, and interpreting the activities of people by a computer. This semester we will focus on machine perception techniques that facilitate and augment human-computer interaction. The main goal of the class is to introduce computational perception on both theoretical and practical levels. Participation in small groups to design, implement, and evaluate a prototype of a human-computer interaction system that uses one or more of the techniques covered in the lectures. (Typically Offered: Spring)
