| Aim | The objective of this course is to introduce and teach the fundamentals of problems, theories, algorithms and applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI is a very fast-growning field that focuses on building intelligent systems that will have a great impact on every aera of industry, economy, and social life. The topics include definition and history of AI, problem solving via search, game playing, knowledge representation, propositional logic, first-order predicate logic, logical and probabilistic reasoning, planning, uncertain knowledge and reasoning, machine learning (popular machine learning algorithms, deep learning, reinforcement learning, and genetic algorithms), natural language processing, deep learning for natural language processing, computer vision and robotics. |
| Course Content | This course contains; Introduction and Intelligent Agents,Problem Solving by Searching,Adversarial Search and Games,Constraint Satisfaction Problems,Logical Agents,First-Order Logic, Inference in First-Order Logic,Knowledge Representation, Automated Planning,Uncertain knowledge and reasoning,Exam week,Probabilistic Programming, Making Simple Decisions, Making Complex Decisions,Machine Learning,Deep Learning, Reinforcement Learning ,Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing,Computer Vision, Robotics,Review and presentations. |
