Course detail

Artificial Intelligence Algorithms

FSI-VAIAcad. year: 2020/2021

The course introduces basic approaches to artificial intelligence algorithms and classical methods used in the field. Main emphasis is given to automated formulas proves, knowledge representation and problem solving. Practical use of the methods is demonstrated on solving simple engineering problems.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Understanding of basic methods of artificial intelligence and ability of their implementation.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of algorithmization, programming and the basics of mathematical logic and probability theory are assumed.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Course-unit credit requirements: passing partial tests and submitting a functional software project which uses implementation of selected AI method. Student can obtain 100 marks, 40 marks during seminars (20 for tests and 20 for project; he needs at least 20), 60 marks during exam (he needs at least 30).
