Course description and aims

This course gives the fundamentals for understanding artificial intelligence systems and their components. First, the students learn how to formulate problems and how to search for their solution. Then they learn how to explicitly represent knowledge and how to do inference based on it. Further, they learn planning for efficient inference. Finally, they learn machine learning in which machine automatically acquire knowledge.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand the necessity of artificial intelligence systems which support human intellectual activities in the information society.
2) Aquire elemental techniques used for building artificial intelligence systems.
3) Represent the process of human's intellectual production.
4) Do inferences based on the representation.

Keywords

State space representation, Graph search, Heuristic search, A* search, Game, Minimax method, α-β pruning, Semantic network, Frame, Production system, Resolution principle, Forward inference, Backward inference, Default logic, Probabilistic inference, Bayesian network, GPS, Hierarchical planning, Partial order planning, Reactive planning, Linear classifier, Neural network, Decision tree

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

1) At the beginning of each class, the contents of the previous class are reviewed.
2) At the end of each class, an assignment is given, which should be submitted in the next class.
3) Attendance is taken in every class.
4) Students are recommended to learn the topics by themselves before coming to class.
