COM-401: Cryptography and securityThis course introduces the basics of cryptography. We review several types of cryptographic primitives, when it is safe to use them and how to select the appropriate security parameters. We detail how
COM-406: Foundations of Data ScienceWe discuss a set of topics that are important for the understanding of modern data science but that are typically not taught in an introductory ML course. In particular we discuss fundamental ideas an
MATH-261: Discrete optimizationThis course is an introduction to linear and discrete optimization.
Warning: This is a mathematics course! While much of the course will be algorithmic in nature, you will still need to be able to p
CS-433: Machine learningMachine learning methods are becoming increasingly central in many sciences and applications. In this course, fundamental principles and methods of machine learning will be introduced, analyzed and pr
DH-406: Machine learning for DHThis course aims to introduce the basic principles of machine learning in the context of the digital humanities. We will cover both supervised and unsupervised learning techniques, and study and imple
MATH-410: Riemann surfacesThis course is an introduction to the theory of Riemann surfaces. Riemann surfaces naturally appear is mathematics in many different ways: as a result of analytic continuation, as quotients of complex
CS-308: Introduction to quantum computationThe course introduces the paradigm of quantum computation in an axiomatic way. We introduce the notion of quantum bit, gates, circuits and we treat the most important quantum algorithms. We also touch
MATH-467: Probabilistic methods in combinatoricsThe 'probabilistic method' is a fundamental tool in combinatorics. The basic idea is as follows: to prove that an object (for example, graph) with certain properties exists, it suffices to prove that
