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 (adverserial search), constraint
satisfaction, reasoning and knowledge representation, planning, probablistic reasoning, and learning. In
addition, we will discuss the philosophical aspects of AI. What is AI? Is it achievable?
Projects: There will be four programming projects. Each will require a significant, but not enormous, programming
project and a 5-10 page project summary. Each of the projects will be divided into several sub-projects to
more evenly distribute the time required.
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.
