This course covers both the basic theory and practical applications of AI which is the science and engineering of producing intelligent agents that can behave rationally. It aims to introduce the undergraduates with the computational models of intelligent behavior, including problem solving, knowledge representation, reasoning, planning, decision making, learning, perception, action, communication and interaction. It emphasizes the techniques outlined as combinatorial search, probabilistic models and reasoning.
