Learning outcomes in the course
Upon completing the course the student:
- is capable of formulating artificial intelligence problems as state space search;
- knows tree search and local search algorithms and can apply them; including BFS, DFS, A* and hill climbing;
- can describe the behaviour and parameters of tree search and local search;
- is familiar with modern approaches to combinatorial search (metaheuristics);
- is knowledgeable about the principles of logical and probabilistic reasoning;
- can solve problems involving propositional logic and Bayesian probability;
- is familiar with some problems in machine learning (classification, learning behaviour) and approach methods (decision tree, linear classifiers, neural networks, reinforcement learning);
- can select and apply a suitable machine learning method;
- can use a modern machine learning package to solve machine learning tasks (scikit-learn or weka).
