Dr. Ben Mitchell Visiting Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science Swarthmore College Science Center 252 C mitchell (at) cs.swarthmore.edu

Teaching

In the past, I have taught Intro Programming, Intermediate Programming, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Data Science, and Computer Ethics.

Research Interests

My primary research interests lie in the intersection of artificial intelligence and machine learning; much of my recent research has been on the topic of deep learning. I am also interested in computer ethics, especially in relation to the use of big data and machine learning in real-world contexts.
