Summer 2019

Introducing 6.844, the graduate version of 6.034!

6.844 is the graduate version of 6.034. It will meet with 6.034 and include an additional set of lectures given by Prof. Randy Davis every Friday at 11am in 32-155. This addition will supplement the main lectures and recitations because it will focus on the science side of 6.034, addressing long-standing scientific questions and biological intelligence, rather than existing tools for building applications. Evolution and human language will be emphasized.

Students taking this version complete additional assignments. More information can be found here.

About 6.034, Fall 2019 Edition

In the fall semester of 2019, 6.034 will meet Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10am to 11am in 10-250. The lectures will be on Monday and Wednesday. On many, but not all Fridays, you will learn about what is happening in the field right now from someone who is doing work right now in an area related to the Monday and Wednesday lectures.

Examinations will cover material from the lectures as well as the right-now lectures. It will be extremely difficult to field questions on the right-now material if you do not attend the right-now lectures because the material is not yet in textbooks or, in many cases, published papers.

Recitations will meet weekly on Monday and Tuesday. On the first day of class, we will make a link available to a form you will fill out that will enable us to assign you to a recitation.

6.034 is no longer offered in the spring term.

More details will emerge during the first lecture.

We are pleased to note that Bloomberg has listed 6.034 as among "Five of the Best Computer Science Classes in the U.S."
