  CIS4930/6930 - Special Topics: Reinforcement Learning for Humans, Animals and Robots This course will cover reinforcement learning (RL) foundations from biological organisms to autonomous machines. By the end of the course, students will be able to discuss the mechanisms of RL in humans, identify RL concepts at play in human and animal interactions and propose robot learning paradigms inspired by animal training techniques. Students will practice setting up and training RL agents and critiquing the ethical and safety implications of this paradigm. If feasible for classroom scheduling, this will be a 3-period class. pre-requisites: For undergraduates: COP 3530 Data Structures and Algorithms Proficiency in Python. Should be comfortable building and training models in modern Python libraries. Prior exposure to machine learning is recommended. For graduate level students: COT 5615 Mathematics for Intelligent Systems Proficiency in Python. Should be comfortable build...

  Happy Fall semester! My name is Kexuan Wu, and I serve as the Graduate Student Coordinator at the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE). We deeply appreciate your ongoing commitment to mentoring and supporting UF’s graduate students and postdoctoral communities. As another academic year gets underway, I wanted to take a moment to share a few CTE resources and programs designed to support graduate students and postdocs in their teaching, learning, and professional growth. UF graduate students, TAs, and postdocs are encouraged to earn CIRTL certificates from the CIRTL network , issued through CTE. Since UF joined the CIRTL, UF graduate students, TAs, and postdocs have free access to CIRTL programs , including workshops, courses, and events designed to prepare them for professional development. Subscribe to the CIRTL Newsletter to receive updates on upcoming events, workshops, courses, and teaching institutes, professional development opportunities, and academic job postings....
