Course content
The following topics are discussed in the course:
- Reasoning approaches (goal trees, rule-based expert systems)
- Search approaches (depth-first, hill climbing, beam, optimal, branch and bound, A*, games, minimax, and alpha-beta)
- Constraint approaches (search, domain reduction, visual object recognition)
- Learning approaches (neural nets, back propagation, genetic algorithms, sparse spaces, phonology, near misses, felicity conditions, support vector machines, boosting)
- Representation approaches (classes, trajectories, transitions)
- Possible applications of artificial intelligence in different contexts
- Weak versus strong artificial intelligence
