Prel. scheduled hours:
Rec. self-study hours: 120

  Area of Education: Technology

Subject area: Computer Science, Computer Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The course is organized under the assumption that your goal, as a participant, will be to acquire a broad and systematic knowledge and understanding of modern artificial intelligence. "Systematic" means that existing cross-connections within the topic should be understood.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Introductory course in artificial intelligence

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
Lectures. The course is given in an intensive format ("crash course") at a conference facility.

Course contents:
Search and optimization: Heuristic, local and adversarial search techniques.
Planning and Scheduling:
- Partial-order planning, hierarchical planning, graph planning, heuristic planning, domain-dependent planning.
- Planning under uncertainty, planning with time and resources.
- Combining planning and scheduling

Learning: Inductive learning, decision trees, classification, PAC learning, reinforcement learning, learning rules.

Uncertainty reasoning systems
- Belief networks, decision making under uncertainty, acting under uncertainty
- Uncertain reasoning: fuzzy logic, probabilistic logic.

Decision Making: Utility Theory, beliefs and desires, applications in robotics and on the Internet.

Neural networks

Software issues in robotics): Behavior-based robotics, deliberative/reactive architectures, sensing and perceiving, navigation.

Knowledge-based expert systems and applications: Diagnosis/classification, monitoring and control

Evolutionary computing

AI architectures
- Production systems, blackboard architectures, SOAR, belief revision and truth maintenance systems, logic-based systems, multi-agent architectures.
- Model-based diagnosis and execution monitoring.
