Artificial Intelligence Explorations

Catalog description

The course will start with the history of artificial intelligence (AI) and its development over the years. There have been many attempts to define and generate artificial intelligence. As a result of these attempts, many AI techniques have been developed and applied to solve real life problems. This course will explore a variety of AI techniques and their applications and limitations. Some of the AI topics to be covered in this course are intelligent agents, problem-solving, knowledge and reasoning, uncertainty, decision making, machine learning, reinforcement learning, and real-world applications of AI. Students are expected to have solid programming skills, understanding of probability and linear algebra, and statistics. Students will write a conference-style paper based on a research project.
