NOTES:
This is an introduction to AI class. Artificial Intelligence is
a diverse area whose goal is to solve problems that are algorithmically
not solvable or which belong to the class NP. In this class, breadth
will be emphasized instead on depth. Students will be exposed to
diverse areas of AI, among them graph searching heuristics, foundations
of logic programming and expert systems, uncertainty in knowledge bases,
and as time permits an introduction to various machine learning
techniques, natural languages, vision and robotics.
SHEME, a version of the language LISP, will be introduced and used for
implementation of various heuristics.
A student who wishes in depth coverage as opposed to breadth, can
also take the CS522 class, which choses expert systems, prolog and
logic programming, neural nets, fuzzy logic, decision trees and other
machine learning techniques for in depth coverage and applications in
control, data mining and knowledge discovery problems.
