5 Course Rationale
Artificial intelligence is an extremely broad field with applications to many disciplines and many sub-
fields. This course gives a broad survey of artificial intelligence, as opposed to focusing on any particular
subfield of AI. The course offered by the department of CSE, will cover methods from search, optimiza-
tion, probabilistic reasoning, and learning, among other topics. Of course, these topics are closely related
with each other. For example, the knowledge acquired through learning can be used both for problem
solving and for reasoning. In fact, the skill for problem solving itself should be acquired through learning.
Also, methods for problem solving are useful both for reasoning and planning. Further, both natural lan-
guage understanding and computer vision can be solved using methods developed in the field of pattern
recognition.
6 Course Description
Introduction to artificial intelligence, Foundation and history of artificial intelligence, Intelligent agents;
Solving problem by searching; Adversarial searching; Logical agents; First-order logic; Knowledge repre-
sentation; Probabilistic reasoning; Planning; Making decisions; Natural Language Processing; Perception;
Robotics.
7 Teaching Methods
Maximum topics will be covered from the textbook. For the rest of the topics, reference books will be
followed. Some class notes will be uploaded on the web. White board will be used for most of the time.
For some cases, multimedia projector will be used for the convenience of the students. Students must
participate in classroom discussions for case studies, problems solving and project developments.

13 Additional Course Policies
1. Equipment and Aids: Bring your own materials such as a calculator, notebook, and pen to par-
ticipate effectively in classroom activities. You are NOT allowed to borrow from others inside the
classroom which may potentially create distractions for your classmates.
2. Assignments: There will be a number of assignments for formative assessment purposes. The aver-
age of the assignment marks will be used for computing the final grade. Late submission of home-
work will carry a zero mark.
3. Class Tests: There will be at least three Class Tests taken during the semester and the best two will
be counted for final grading. A class test can be taken with/without prior announcement.
4. Examinations: The midterm and final examinations will be a closed book, closed notes. Mobile
phones are strictly prohibited in the exam hall. Please bring your own watch (non-smart) and syn-
chronize at the beginning of the examination.

Artificial Intelligence/Spring 2024
5. Test Policy: In case of missing a test without prior notice to the respected faculty member, a zero
mark will be given. No makeup tests will be taken as the best two test scores will be considered for
grading out of three tests.
6. Mobile Devices Policy: Empirical evidence of using multitasking devices such as laptops and smart-
phones in the classroom hinders the learning experience. Thus, the use of multitasking devices is
strictly discouraged. Switch off your laptop/mobile devices during class activities.
