Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

Catalog description

The courses will introduce Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning topics with practical examples of data, tools, and algorithms. In addition to C, C++, and Matlab, a scripting language (i.e. Python) will be used and taught throughout the course. The course will explore basic artificial intelligence techniques and their applications to engineering problems. Students will be introduced to the following AI foundations: probability and linear algebra, state spaces, algorithms, data processing, feature extraction, feature reduction, classification, and decision making. Some of the techniques and tools to be covered in this course are inference, regression, linear discriminant analysis, decision trees, neural networks, deep learning platforms and architectures, and reinforcement learning. Students are expected to have any of the following programming skills: C/C++, Matlab, Java, or any other high level programming language.
