4 courses series
In this course, we will explore the history of cognitive science and the way these ideas shape how we think of artificial cognition.
In this course, we will explore different types of problems, the boundaries of what makes a problem solvable, and the different algorithms, rules, and heuristics we can implement to solve these problems.
In this course, we will expand on vision as a cognitive problem space and explore models that address various vision tasks. We will then explore how the boundaries of these problems lead to a more complex analysis of the mind and the brain and how these explorations lead to more complex computational models of understanding.
In this course, we will explore how individual problem solving, judgment, and decision making can be influenced by interpersonal and developmental factors.
Learner Testimonials
To be able to take courses at my own pace and rhythm has been an amazing experience. I can learn whenever it fits my schedule and mood.
I directly applied the concepts and skills I learned from my courses to an exciting new project at work.
When I need courses on topics that my university doesn't offer, Coursera is one of the best places to go.
Learning isn't just about being better at your job: it's so much more than that. Coursera allows me to learn without limits.
