CS 322 Natural Language Processing 6 credits
Advances like deep learning and large language models have led to computer programs that seem to converse intelligently with people. But how do these programs work, and do they really understand language? In this course, we’ll explore techniques that aim to enable computers to interpret and respond appropriately to ideas expressed using natural languages (such as Chinese or English) as opposed to formal languages (such as Python or C). Topics may include classical and modern approaches, and varying applications, such as machine translation, semantic analysis, and question answering.

ENGL 256 Excavating Histories: Archival Research Methods 6 credits
This course will introduce the fundamentals of working with special collections and archives, including ethical best practices and methods of research and interpretation. Drawing on interdisciplinary scholarship, we will explore questions such as: What constitutes an archive? What motivates people to create and seek out archives? Whose lives and histories have been privileged in the cultivation of archives, and what is being done to address these disparities? What are the limits of archiving as a means of redress? Course work will include in-person visits to collections at Carleton and beyond, as well as research in digitized collections nationwide.
Extra Time Required: Off-campus site visits to meet with community partners.

ENGL 257 Fandom and the Queer Digital Commons 6 credits
In this introduction to fan studies, students will engage with foundational and emerging scholarship, as well as popular media that represent key sites in the development of modern fandom. A famously “undisciplined” discipline, fan studies draws on a variety of intellectual traditions, and we will read broadly to consider what fandom includes, where its politics emerge, and how to engage as ethical researchers. This course foregrounds modern queer fan cultures to explore the shifting relationship between creators and audiences and the tensions within fan communities. Television and films from the 1960s to the present will serve as weekly case studies.

PHIL 112 Intelligence, Agency and Autonomous Machines 6 credits
What exactly is artificial intelligence (AI)? We will engage this question by reading foundational texts in the philosophy of AI to clarify what things in the world are, or should be, classified as “AI”. This foundation will help us think about what it might mean to be autonomous, intelligent, or agential. We will consider some of the conditions that might lead us to believe certain technologies are (or could be) moral agents or moral patients, and whether (or to what extent) these conditions bear on the AI systems of the present and those of the future.
