Course Description	Artificial intelligence is the science that studies and develops methods of making computers more /intelligent/. The focus of this course is on core AI techniques for knowledge representation, search, reasoning, learning and designing intelligent agents. The course also aims to give an overview of other topics within AI, such as for example robotics, and of the historical, philosophical, and logical foundations of AI.
Learning Outcomes	Upon completion of this course, the students will: have a global picture of artificial intelligence and some of its main subareas; have knowledge about actual problems, approaches, and algorithms in areas such as agents, search, knowledge representation and reasoning, planning, and learning; have experience with programming solving techniques in some of the five areas listed above; have overview knowledge in areas such as vision, robotics and natural language processing.
Indicative Assessment	Assignments (30%), Final Examination (70%)
Workload	Thirty one-hour lectures, six laboratory sessions
Course Classification(s)	AdvancedAdvanced courses are designed for students having reached 'first degree' level of assumed knowledge, which provide a deep understanding of contemporary issues; or 'second degree' and higher levels of knowledge; or for transition to research training programs. and TransitionalTransitional courses are designed for students from a broad range of backgrounds and learning achievements, which provide for the acquisition of generic skills; or an informed understanding of contemporary issues; or fundamental knowledge for transition to Advanced or Specialist courses.
Areas of Interest	Computer Science and Information Technology
Prescribed Texts	Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig (2010) Artificial Intelligence. A Modern Approach.
