A weekly project-based, seminar style course where students will engage with notable entrepreneurs around lessons learned from building early-stage companies and apply these lessons towards their own entrepreneurial ideas or pursuits. Using real-world examples and practical frameworks from early-stage startup founders and investors, we will help students navigate the idea maze and 0-to-1 journey, with a particular emphasis on products powered by Generative AI (LLMs, GPT-3, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, Whisper) in some way, shape, or form. Students with a technical, entrepreneurial, or product-building background are encouraged to apply at www.symsys161.com.

Lecture/studio course exploring arts and humanities scholarship and practice engaging with, and generated by, emerging emerging and exponential technologies. Our course will explore intersections of art and artificial intelligence with an emphasis on social impact and racial justice. Open to all undergraduates.

This is the first course of a two-quarter sequence that will be completed, in the second quarter, with the Bing Overseas Studies Program (BOSP) course "Governance, Culture, and Innovation in Oxford" (to be taught in Oxford, UK, during the Summer of 2023). Entry into the course is contingent on acceptance or waitlist status for the summer BOSP course. The two courses will comprise a comparative study of governance, culture and innovation at and around these two universities. In this first course -- taught on the main Stanford campus -- we will focus on Stanford University: how it operates, the cultures that surround and have developed within it, and its relationships to innovation and Silicon Valley. After an introductory overview through lectures and readings, students will learn research methods that can be applied to this topic, including data collection and documentation, content analysis, and interviewing. The rest of the content, about questions like Stanford's relationship to Silicon Valley, will be provided by guests and the students' own data gathering. Student contributions will be published online, together with the ones from the follow-up study in Oxford, at the conclusion of both courses.Remote enrollment in this course is possible for students who are accepted into the Summer 2023 Oxford course AND who will be studying away through a Stanford program during Spring Quarter 2023. Please contact the instructors asap if you are in this situation.

Under the supervision of their faculty honors adviser, students work on their senior honors project. May be repeated for credit.

A project-based course that builds on the introduction to design in CS147 by focusing on advanced methods and tools for research, prototyping, and user interface design. Studio based format with intensive coaching and iteration to prepare students for tackling real world design problems. This course takes place entirely in studios; you must plan on attending every studio to take this class. The focus of CS247A is design for human-centered artificial intelligence experiences. What does it mean to design for AI? What is HAI? How do you create responsible, ethical, human centered experiences? Let us explore what AI actually is and the constraints, opportunities and specialized processes necessary to create AI systems that work effectively for the humans involved. Prerequisites: CS147 or equivalent background in design thinking. In the event of a waitlist, acceptance to class based on an application provided on the first day of class.

Project-oriented class focused on developing systems and algorithms for robust machine understanding of human language. Draws on theoretical concepts from linguistics, natural language processing, and machine learning. Topics include lexical semantics, distributed representations of meaning, relation extraction, semantic parsing, sentiment analysis, and dialogue agents, with special lectures on developing projects, presenting research results, and making connections with industry. Prerequisites: CS 224N or CS 224S (This is a smaller number of courses than previously.)

Independent work under the supervision of a faculty member. Can be repeated for credit.

Our senses tell us about our immediate environment, but what exactly do they tell us? Our color experiences tell us that the things around us have color properties, but what in the world are color properties? Do we visually represent absolute size as well as relative size? When we see an apple, do we literally see it as an apple, or do we infer that it¿s an apple based on its color and shape? Can what we expect to see affect what we actually see? In this seminar we will bring both philosophical and empirical perspectives to bear on these and other issues related to figuring out just how our perceptual experiences represent the world as being. Prerequisite: PHIL 80 or permission of the instructor.
