Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the study of the design of intelligent agents that are capable of reasoning, planning, and acting in a dynamic environment. This field encompasses logic, probability, and continuous mathamatics, perception, learning and everything from microelectronic devices to robotic planetary explorers. In this course, we will focus on the design of logic based intelligent agents by introducing topics such as knowledge representation, probabilistic reasoning, natural language processing, and logic programming. We will solve classic AI problems such as uncertainty, planning, disgnosis, and search and apply the solutions to solve problems not only in computer science but also in areas as diverse as biology, linguistics, philosophy, and art.
