Its commercial success guaranteed that movies with historical themes would continue to be made.

IFSC 7325 - Deep Learning Theory and Apps
Three credit hours.
Deep learning is an emerging area of machine learning with broad applications in data science, data mining, bioinformatics, and Artificial Intelligence. Deep learning is about learning multiple levels of representation and abstraction that help to make sense of data such as images, text, sound, and video. This course offers a mathematical and conceptual background of deep learning. It teaches deep learning techniques used by practitioners in industry, including deep feedforward networks, convolutional networks, and deep belief networks; and it surveys such applications as pattern recognition and data mining from big data including texts, images, and social networks.
Prerequisites: IFSC 5325 or permission of the instructor.

IFSC 7360 - Data Protection and Privacy
Three credit hours.
This course considers the current status of data, information and privacy protection policies, laws and technologies. At the core is the variety of issues concerning informational privacy, i.e. the gathering, creating, storing, use and protection of information and data about individuals. Topics include the economics of data and privacy protection vis-a-vis the right of access to information, control, ownership, free flow, accuracy and use of information; commercial uses of personal information such as data mining and other marketing techniques, as well as the roles of government and the private sector in this setting. Newer information technologies, data mining, security measures, genetic tests and biobanks worldwide have raised important issues and questions.
