Learning outcomes

In order to pass, the student must be able to

  • recognise that a problem is an AI-problem,
  • model AI-problems and point out an appropriate solution (for example expert systems, search algorithms, learning),
  • describe and use search methods, expert systems, statistical methods and simple methods for learning,
  • discuss different definitions of AI, and relate those to the history of AI.

Content

Heuristic search, knowledge representation, expert systems, learning systems.

Applications of AI, for instance in computer games.
