CS430: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence


Course Description

The goal of Artificial Intelligence is to build software systems that behave "intelligently". By this, we mean that the computer systems "do the right thing" in complex environments--that they act optimally given the limited information and computational resources available. This course provides an introduction to artificial intelligence. We will first study the core topics of knowledge representation, reasoning, and learning, all from the perspective of probabilistic methods. Then we will cover several of the "subject areas" of artificial intelligence where these probabilistic methods are applied including Natural Language Processing, Perception (primarily vision), and Robotics.
