Intelligence

From Georgia Tech Student Wiki

The Intelligence thread is one of the eight threads available to undergraduate Computer Science majors and minors.

The intelligence thread focuses on top-to-bottom computational models of intelligence. It emphasizes varying levels of intelligence and natural cognitive agents such as humans, ants, or bees. Students learn skills and knowledge for expressing, specifying, understanding, creating, and explaining computational models that represent cognitive models. The intelligence thread includes fields ranging from artificial intelligence, machine learning, perception, cognitive science and more.
