CS5050: ADAPTIVE INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS (2014-2015)

Last modified: 28 Jun 2018 10:27


Course Overview

"Adaptation" in Computing Science refers to the process by which systems modify their behaviour based on the user and environment. At the core of this course is a collection of influential representations and algorithms for modelling users and the environment to enable adaptation. The course will cover algorithms for Recommender Systems, used to personalise product recommendations, and for Personalised Information Retrieval, used to deliver search results personalised for users and their context. The course will also cover current and future ideas for adaptive systems, such as Ambient Intelligence, where similar techniques are integrated into the real world using sensor networks.
