Several graduate-level courses have been designed and regularly offered by ISI researchers, including CS 541, CS 544, CS 562, CS593, and several CS 599. Ed Hovy recently helped start and is co-director of the program for Masters in Computational Linguistics, joint between the Computer Science and the Linguistics Departments at USC. Internships: NEEDS CONTACT INFORMATION Many students from other institutions do internships with researchers at ISI. This includes students in Cognitive Science, Psychology, Linguistics, and Engineering, as well as many undergraduates. Students have come to us from UCLA, CMU, Stanford, etc. PhD Advising: IS THIS LIST UP TO DATE? PhD students are central to our research projects. All PhD students at ISI are fully supported through felloships or research assistantships. They work closely with their advisors and are active in publishing widely new advances in the field. Teaching: IS THIS LIST UP TO DATE? ISI researchers teach several graduate and advanced courses in Computer Science at USC, including these Many of these advanced graduate courses were created by ISI researchers and are part of the requirements for Ph.D. and M.Sc. degrees at USC. Several USC/ISI researchers teach courses for the UCLA Extension program on various topics of Artificial Intelligence.
