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.
