Description

Objective:

The objective of this course is to teach students the foundations and applications of artificial intelligence. Students will learn about intelligent agents, constraint satisfaction, logical agents, first-order logic, learning, reasoning, and AI trends.

Learning Outcomes:

  • explain the foundations, history and ethical perspectives of artificial intelligence, and the science of agent design
  • illustrate the use of problem-solving techniques, such as the various search methods, gaming and self-learning agents
  • demonstrate AI's use of knowledge representation, through logic agents and first-order logic to address AI problems
  • discuss the philosophical foundations of AI and explain the possibilities for the future of AI
  • recognize the different types of artificial intelligent systems in use today and how they are affecting our lives
  • distinguish machine code and higher-level computer languages, how they are interpreted and compiled
  • define computer security risks, explain how to prevent security breaks and maintain protection
  • analyze algorithms and intelligent programs, write pseudocode and intelligent agents
  • design decision tree algorithms for data mining using Markov processes, localization, slam and lisp
  • create neural networks to include image processing, reasoning, and advanced planning

General Topics:

  • Fundamentals of artificial intelligence
  • Intelligent agents
  • Using artificial intelligence in searches
  • Constraint satisfaction in artificial intelligence
  • Logical agents and first-order logic
  • Learning and reasoning in artificial intelligence
  • The present and future of artificial intelligence
