CAB320 Artificial Intelligence

This foundational unit introduces the basics of Artificial Intelligence (AI) ranging from Intelligent Search techniques to Machine Learning. AI strives to build intelligent entities as well as understand them. AI has produced many significant products; from AI chess champions to state of the art schedulers and planners. This unit introduces state representations, techniques and architectures used to build intelligent systems. It covers topics such as heuristic search, machine learning (including deep neural networks) and probabilistic reasoning. The ability to formalise a given problem in the language/framework of relevant AI methods (for examples, a search problem, a planning problem, a classification problem, etc) and understand a fast evolving field is a requirement for a range of graduate entry software engineer positions. This unit lays the foundations for further studies in Games, Robotics, Pattern Recognition, Information Retrieval, Data Mining and Intelligent Web Agents.
