In the first part, we focus on the development of optical waveguides and investigate the utilization of these structures in passive photonic circuits. Critical properties such as waveguide loss, mode coupling, material loss, power flow, anti-guiding, coupling to optical fibers, and device fabrication will all be covered. In addition, to get a better understanding of the operation of these circuits, students will be required to simulate many of these structures using MatLab throughout the course. In the second part of the course, we extend this analysis to active devices. Modulation of the optical field through acousto-optic and electro-optic effects is studied, as well as the current technology of these structures. Light emitting devices are presented, focusing on the operation and theory of light emitting diodes (LEDs) and semiconductor lasers. The detection of light is presented with an analysis of semiconductor integrated detectors. Finally, recent progresses in integrated optics and novel concepts are studied to motivate research in these areas.

  • EE 7183 - Reinforcement Learning

    This course will provide a comprehensive introduction to reinforcement learning as an approach to artificial intelligence, emphasizing the design of complete agents interacting with stochastic, incompletely known environments. Reinforcement learning has adapted key ideas from machine learning, operations research, psychology, and neuroscience to produce some strikingly successful engineering applications. The focus is on algorithms for learning what actions to take, and when to take them, so as to optimize long-term performance. This may involve sacrificing immediate reward to obtain greater reward in the long-term or just to obtain more information about the environment. The course will cover Markov decision processes, dynamic programming, temporal-difference learning, Monte Carlo reinforcement learning methods, eligibility traces, the role of function approximation, and the integration of learning and planning. The course will emphasize the development of intuition relating the mathematical theory of reinforcement learning to the design of human-level artificial intelligence. “Reinforcement learning is learning what to do—how to map situations to actions—so as to maximize a numerical reward signal. The learner is not told which actions to take, as in most forms of machine learning, but instead must discover which actions yield the most reward by trying them. In the most interesting and challenging cases, actions may affect not only the immediate reward, but also the next situation and, through that, all subsequent rewards. These two characteristics—trial-and-error search and delayed reward—are the two most important distinguishing features of reinforcement learning.” This course will prepare you to study computational principles and hardware organization of what we mean by intelligence and goal-directed behavior. How to motivate machine to act on its own, yet to satisfy a desired objective? How machine interaction with environment leads to better behavior, better understanding, and success in its mission? What are the computational issues in doing this efficiently and in real time?

  • EE 7213 - Cognitive Neuroscience and Embodied Intelligence

    This course considers neurological, psychological, and structural models of intelligence. It uses these models as a basis for discussion and development of new models that may exhibit potential for creating embodied intelligence. The majority of biological intelligence creatures are simple, yet they can achieve complex information processing that current artificial intelligence cannot match.  Can we use these simple models to learn how to design better artificial intelligence? Thus this course is a combination of what we know about intelligence with discovery what makes it possible. The emphasis in this course is on the development of the concept of self-organizing, learning neural systems with locally interconnected processing components (neurons and minicolumns). Neural-net implementations of pattern recognition algorithms provide important, practical advantages by allowing fast realization of parallel, iterative procedures. Self-organizing neural networks that implement associative spatio-temporal memories, statistical self-organization and learning, goal creation and goal oriented development of the memory structures will be discussed. An example self-organizing neural system simulating biological systems will be examined. Cognitive neuroscience focuses on understanding how the brain embodies the mind, using biologically inspired models made of neuron-like processing components. This subject lies at a cross-section of neuroscience and cognitive psychology, and involves developing models that illustrate brain functions, observed cognitive phenomena and their behavioral manifestations. These models are used to develop embodied agents that interact with the environment through a physical body that is able to perceive and act on the environment.
