Grading: Your grade will be based on two parts: course project (80%) and discussion in four research showcase lectures (5% each, 20% in total). There is no credit given for attending other lectures that are offered by the instructor. There is no exam. There is no homework.
Guest lectures: 45-minute invited presentation about ongoing AI for medicine research in the Allen School (see schedule below). The instructor will then lead the discussion about the potential improvement and future directions.
