Textbook : Russell and Norvig Artificial Intelligence: A Modern
Approach, Prentice Hall (Recommended, but not required)
Content: This course covers the more important and successful techniques from the,
very broad, field known as artificial intelligence. Topics covered include search, game
playing (adversarial search), constraint satisfaction, reasoning and knowledge
representation, planning, fuzzy logic, neural networks, and learning. In addition, we will
discuss the philosophical aspects of AI. What is AI? Is it achievable?
Projects: There will be three programming projects. Each will require a
significant, but not enormous, programming project and a 2-4 page project summary. Each
of the projects will be divided into several sub-projects to more evenly distribute the
time required.
Late Projects: Late projects will lose 10% per school/business day.
Weekends count as a single day.
Graduate Paper: Students enrolled at the graduate level will also be required to
submit an additional research paper.
Exams: There will be two midterms and a comprehensive final exam.
