Course Outcomes

Recognize problems that can use AI methods

from business, medicine, robotics, gaming, and machine learning

Identify the component elements of the problem

Does it require basic control?

Does it involve uncertain reasoning?

Does it have a simple goal, sophisticated utility, or multiple attributes?

Does it require sequential choice or planning?

How may decision makers are involved?

Formalize the problem in a way that is amenable to a solutio

What is the internal representation?

What performance criteria are relevant?

What is the nature of the environment?

What are the actuators?

What are the sensors?

What are the agent's utilities?

How is uncertainty represented?

Be able to analyze, implement, and experiment with several A

Uninformed, informed, constraint-satisfaction, hill-climbing, and stochastic (e.g., genetic algorithms) search

Markov provesses, Bayes rule, Bayes nets, Hidden Markov Models, Grid Filters, and Kalman Filters

Expected utility theory

Multi-attribute utility theory

Sequential choice under uncertainty: value and policy iteration

Minimax solutions from game theory: alpha-beta pruning

Analyze and communicate solution quality

Determine whether your solution is correct

Express the quality of your solution

Value the need to communicate your solution to others
