CSED442 Artificial Intelligence

instructor: Gary Geunbae Lee, eng2-211, gbleeATpostech.ac.kr, 279-2254

1. Course objectives

This course introduces basic techniques of artificial intelligence: problem solving, heuristic search, knowledge representation, logic system and inference, as well as advanced techniques such as planning, probabilistic reasoning, machine learning, and intelligent agent systems. As a term presentation, each student should survey a practical system and try to make it smart(er) using artificial intelligence techniques.
