Reflecting on 2016
A lot of things happened this year. Internship, CS3216 and Donald Trump. Continue reading
CS4246 Module Review – AI Planning and Decision Making
CS4246 Module Review – AI Planning and Decision Making (16/17 Sem 1)
Overview
- One of the hardest and most theoretical module I have taken in NUS
- The content is a mixture of classical concepts and cutting edge research topics
- Project is also very theoretical, involving more conceptual understanding and reading of research papers rather than implementation.
- Midterm is very early, before recess week. Final exam is even earlier, before exam week. That is why the CORS says the module has no exam, when there is in fact a final exam.
CS3244 Module Review 16/17 Sem 1 – Machine Learning
CS3244 Module Review – Machine Learning
With machine learning the hottest topic in the AI world as of now (2016), this module is hugely popular. In fact it is overly subscribed this year, and I believe it will continue to be like that. For 16/17 Sem 1, Prof. Min-Yen Kan is taking over the module with new syllabus and python as the main programming language (try to guess the language used before). Continue reading

Game Theory in Project Team Formation
Recently I wrote a review for CS3216. In that post, I briefly touched on the issue of team formation where sub-optimal teams can be formed due to incomplete information and lack of communication. In this post I will explore further on the topic of Game Theory in Project Team Formation, using concepts of Nash Equilibrium and Pareto Optimal. This also serves as a nice example of game theory application in real life.
