- Instructor: Prof. Sung-Hyuk Cha
- CRN: 43694
- Meeting:
- Textbook: Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig,
Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, 2nd edition.
- Course Goals:
To provide a broad introduction to Artificial Intelligence.
The course will cover both fundamental concepts such as search and knowledge representation,
as well as applied work in areas such as planning and vision.
This course is intended for Computer Science students who have never taken an introductory AI course
as well as nonspecialists who wish to acquire a general familiarity with AI.
Topics include logic and representation in intelligent agent design,
reasoning (search, prediction, planning, explanation), and
a overview of AI problems in vision, language, learning, robotics, medicine,
and computational design.
Special emphasis will be made on learning algorithms using Matlab, e.g., neural networks, decision trees,
baysian decision theory, etc.
