Learning Objectives

To learn about major disciplines in artificial intelligence, their fundamental differences and applicability.

Learning Outcomes

Students will be able to state and apply major algorithms, methods, and theoretical results in the field of artificial intelligence.

Syllabus

Introduction: What is AI, agent, environment and its Applications.

Problem solving by search: principles of search, uninformed (“blind”) search, informed (“heuristic”) search, constraint satisfaction problems, adversarial search and games

Optimization methods: gradient descent, multi-objective optimization.

Knowledge representation and reasoning: rule based representations, declarative or logical formalisms, Logic Programing and logic network.

Reasoning in uncertain environments: Genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic, soft computing;

Learning: Supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning. Generative discriminative models.

Probabilistic models: Bayesian models, probabilistic discriminative models.

Discussion of practical cases from various domains: natural language processing, computer vision, bioinformatics etc.
