Students in this course will work on projects to train machine-intelligent systems to learn, model, analyze, and synthesize images and other complex data sets.
These works of art were chosen because they pose specific challenges to computer vision, information extraction, and data analytics. With an image like Khaled al-Sa’ai’s calagraphic mural, artificial intelligence might have difficulty determining which of the lines, shapes, and shades define arabic letters a human would immediately recognize. The display provides students with an opportunity for hands-on exploration of obfuscated information and contrasts the differences between human and machine visual cognition.
