Module Description (excerpted from the bulletin): The module introduces the basic concepts in search and knowledge representation as well as to a number of sub-areas of artificial intelligence. It focuses on covering the essential concepts in AI. The module covers Turing test, blind search, iterative deepening, production systems, heuristic search, A* algorithm, minimax and alpha-beta procedures, predicate and first-order logic, resolution refutation, non-monotonic reasoning, assumption-based truth maintenance systems, inheritance hierarchies, the frame problem, certainly factors, Bayes' rule, frames and semantic nets, planning, learning, natural language, vision, and expert systems and LISP.

Course Characteristics:

• Modular credits: 4.
• Prerequisites: (CS 1102 Data Structures and Algorithms) and (CS 1231 or CS 1231S Discrete Structures). Exceptions to these pre-requisites can be made on a case-by-case basis only. See instructor for details.

The old second edition textbook will still suffice for this course. Copies are also on reserve (RBR) at both the Science Library and the Central Library. The Co-op has ordered them and should have them on time for the beginning of the course.
