Artificial Intelligence.

Catalog description

This course will introduce the basic principles of artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications. The class will begin by discussing ways to represent knowledge about the world through logic and how to reason logically with that knowledge. The students will learn general principles of rule-based expert systems. Instructors will introduce and analyze techniques, which allow reasoning under uncertainty. Students will consider Bayesion networks and other probabilistic reasoning models. Students will observe basic principles of the learning theory and consider real world applicaitons of AI, such as expert-based systems and natural-language representation. Prerequisite: COSC 1315 .
