Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the branch of computer science that studies how to program computers to reason, learn, see, and understand. The lecture portion of this class surveys basic and advanced concepts and techniques of artificial intelligence, including search, knowledge representation, automated reasoning, machine learning, machine vision, and uncertain reasoning. Additional topics include the Lisp programming language, theorem proving, game playing, rule-based systems, and philosophical issues. Applications of artificial intelligence will also be discussed and will include domains such as medicine, computer security, and face detection. All students must take a midterm exam and a final exam.
Students majoring in computer science must complete five projects using the Lisp programming language. There will be three or four lectures on Lisp. COSC 173 is a prerequisite.
