 +
Some of you may be interested in a small Special Topics seminar that Professor Minsky
 +
will be offering this spring. The seminar will be a collaborative, project-oriented
 +
seminar requiring a high degree of motivation, because you will closely collaborate with
 +
faculty on an actual research project.  You should be either familiar with Professor
 +
Minsky's work or, alternatively, other A.I. literature and eager to read up on
 +
Professor Minsky's work. If you are interested in participating, please send a short
 +
cover letter and a resume, which includes your programming experience, to
 +
minsky-seminar-interest@mit.edu
 +
 
 +
Attending the seminar won't preclude you from taking 6.868 this fall.

Welcome to the 2013 Edition of 6.034

This is the site for 6.034 Artificial Intelligence, Fall 2013, with Professor Patrick Winston.


Road map:

To see how 6.034 outcomes relate to the outcomes of other subjects in the Course 6 curriculum, see the graphical display in the 6.034 Curricular Goals Map

Logistical stuff:

Reference stuff:

  • Labs (also known as "problem sets")

F 6.946 Computational Mechanics
Boyden S 20.345 Bioengineering Lab
F 9.422 Neuroengineering
Sinha S 9.63 Research metions in visiual cognition
S 9.012 Fundamentals of Cognitive Science
Harrell F CMS.628 Identity represenation
Winston S 6.803/6.833 The human intelligence enterprise


Note that 6.868, Society of Mind, has been postponed until this fall.

Some of you may be interested in a small Special Topics seminar that Professor Minsky will be offering this spring.
