This course is intended to provide an overview of the problems
and methods studied in the field of artificial intelligence. The focus of the
course will be on the study of methods of knowledge representation, data
structures, and algorithms useful to the development of intelligent programs.
The course will also include discussion of important applications of AI
methodology.
Your scores on the projects and exams
will determine your course grade. There will be two exams, an oral
presentation, and four lab projects using several AI tools (including LISP),
not all of which will require the development of complete programs from
scratch. The exams will count for 50% of your grade and the projects 50%. Late
work will be penalized, as will evidence of cheating in any form.
