I took this class the semester I was leaving with a masters. really enjoyed it and learned a great deal. more than any other class in my two years there. it almost made me want to do research in AI and computer vision. if you are average at math, skip this class. there are three big homeworks and paper reviews each week. plus a research project.Rate My Professors ↗

Enthusiastic teacher but unhelpful outside of class (he talks but it's never useful or direct), rambles on during class and doesn't take into account the workload of students from other classes (assigns endless number of difficult homeworks). I would not take any course with him, just wait until another professor is teaching them.Rate My Professors ↗

Great instructor! I took CS540 at UW-Madison as a senior in high school and I still received an A even though I spent most of my time focusing on my high school classes. He was passionate about the topic and was a very nice guy. His slides are the same as his predecessors who taught 540 with some small variation. Great class overall, very valuable.Rate My Professors ↗

This class needs LOT of work on programming and math. I barely managed a B. But what Vikes covers is very useful. Two questions on my interview at a tech startup were very similar to the ones on the final exam. I'm on the job for about six months now!!!Rate My Professors ↗

this is not an easy class and needs a LOT of work. i loved the second half of 540 (after logic). The svm and perceptron stuff is really really good but very mathy. if you already have a 1-2 semesters of calculus you'll do well. Many grad students take this class, so an A may be hard.Rate My Professors ↗
