Course Objectives Artificial Intelligence (AI) is devoted to the computational study of intelligent behavior. The element that the fields of AI have in common is the creation of agents/machines that can "think". This course will cover a broad technical introduction to the techniques that enable agents/computers to behave intelligently: problem solving, representing knowledge, reasoning, learning, perceiving, and interpreting. The bulk of this course reflects this diversity. We will examine the fundamental questions and issues of AI and will explore the essential techniques. In the special topics, several AI applications will be presented.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Discussing a broad range of issues in the field of AI
  • Using and discussing the basic techniques of the field
  • Evaluating potential applications of AI technology
Course Description Common LISP and Prolog; Intelligent Agents; Problemsolving and Search: uninformed and heuristic search, A*, local search and optimization; Constraint satisfaction problems; Game playing and adversarial search; Logical reasoning. Propositional Logic. Firstorder logic. Inference in firstorder logic; Planning; Reasoning under uncertainty. Bayes rule. Belief networks. Using beliefs to make decisions. Learning beliefs; Special topics: Robotics, Natural Language Processing, Game Theory, other AI applications.
