| Course Description | The ANU is home to some of the world-leading researchers in Artificial Intelligence (AI) each of which is a recognised expert in a different sub-area of AI. In this intensive course, a selection of our top researchers gives an introduction to their own area of expertise. In addition to a concise introduction to AI in general, this covers areas such as Automated Reasoning, Planning, Machine Learning, Knowledge Compilation, Spatial and Temporal Reasoning, and Universal AI. The course gives a comprehensive introduction to these areas and focuses on current trends and research questions. The lectures will be complemented by lab sessions and small working groups which will give students the opportunity for hands on experience. |
| Learning Outcomes | Graduates of this course are expected to gain a good understanding and a good overview of the different sub-areas of Artificial Intelligence covered in this course. They will be exposed to the current trends and research questions in these areas which will enable them to pick interesting topics for future studies and research. |
