BRIEF COURSE DESCRIPTION

The goal of this course is to introduce the students to the field of AI and various search problems and problem solving methods used in AI.  In this course they will solve various problems using AI algorithms.  At the end of the course it is expected that the students will appreciate the importance of AI in different domains and be able to understand, design and to an extent implement some basic AI systems.


COURSE AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

After completing this course student should be able to:

  • Understand and build intelligent agents.
  • Solve search problems by picking up an appropriate algorithm or by designing their own solution.
  • Solve optimization problems using approximate algorithms.
  • Make their programs able to learn and improve with time.
  • Represent knowledge in appropriate form and reason on that knowledge using a specific language.
  • Learn about some successful applications of artificial intelligence.

PROJECT

This is a very important part of this course which can be observed from weightage assigned to project. In very first week students will be given an assignment which will help them to decide a project by the end of 3rd week. In addition to giving you a way to learn how AI techniques are applied at larger scale the project could also be extendible to FYP in next semester.
