Course Objectives The goal of this course is to provide students with a survey of different aspects of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Be able to develop a variety of approaches with general applicability.
  • Be able to understand AI search models and generic search strategies.
  • By using Bayesian networks , be able to use the probability as a mechanism for handling uncertainty in AI.
  • Be able to explore the design of AI systems that use learning to improve their performance on a given task.
  • Be able to present logic as a formalism for representing knowledge in AI systems.
  • Be able to address specific domains such as computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics.
Course Description This course provides an introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI). In this course we will study a number of theories, mathematical formalisms, and algorithms, that capture some of the core elements of computational intelligence. We will cover some of the following topics: search, logical representations and reasoning, automated planning, representing and reasoning with uncertainty, decision making under uncertainty, and learning.
