Research Lab ARC is looking for volunteers for fall semester

 Dear EE majors. Our research lab ARC , led by Dr. Greg Stitt, is looking for volunteers willing to dedicate at least three hours of time each week, where the enrollment of research credits may also be possible. As of now, we are primarily looking for students, either undergraduate or graduate, to help us form the foundation of a large up-and-coming project within the realm of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.   Overall, the project aims to explore how we can employ FPGA devices to create a specialized computer architecture for what is known as genetic programming ( GP ). In brief, genetic programming is a strategy that uses techniques inspired by biological evolution and natural selection to automatically solve problems from high-level objectives, without a user having to know or specify the structure of a solution in advance . Note that achieving such an ability in general is no small feat––for perspective, this is essentially the overarching goal of the fields of Machin
