| Learning Outcomes | Artificial intelligence (AI) is about making computers automating complex tasks that have earlier been only possible for intelligent human beings, including thinking and reasoning, problem solving, learning, and decision making. The goal of this course is to give an in-depth introduction to AI methodology. Having completed the course, you have gained a comprehensive overview of AI and understand its fundamental principles. You have acquired skills needed for solving real-world problems through intelligent software technologies. |
| Content | The course presents a range of central AI techniques and provides the students with an extensive toolbox for solving problems in practice. Core AI techniques that show up in a broad range of applications include combinatory search methods, automated reasoning with logic and constraints, automated decision-making and planning, reinforcement learning, and supervised learning. |
