Contenus de l'unité d'enseignement
The course aims at giving an introduction and an overview of artificial intelligence.
Lectures will be based on several chapters of the textbook "Artificial Intelligence: A modern approach" (S. Russel and P. Norvig) used worldwide since 1995 for teaching essentials of AI. Some recent developments not included in this textbook will also by covered.
Topics to be covered (tentative and subject to change):
- Foundations of Artificial Intelligence
- Solving problems by searching
- Games and adversarial search
- Representing uncertain knowledge
- Inference in Bayesian networks
- Reasoning over time
- Learning
- Making decisions
- Reinforcement learning
- Communication
- Artificial General Intelligence and beyond
Acquis d'apprentissage (objectifs d'apprentissage) de l'unité d'enseignement
At the end of the course, the student will have a general overview of the broad field of artificial intelligence. He/she will have studied well-established algorithms for intelligent agents (both in theory and in practice), and will also have become familiar with some of the many open questions and challenges of the field.
Savoirs et compétences prérequis
Programming experience in Python. Probability and statistics.
Reminder: this is a (3rd year) Computer Science course!
Activités d'apprentissage prévues et méthodes d'enseignement
- Theoretical lectures
- Exercise sessions
- Reading assignment
- Programming projects (e.g., implement algorithms for an intelligent agent operating in a game, such as Pacman)
Mode d'enseignement (présentiel, à distance, hybride)
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, lectures and exercise session will be given online. Projects will be carried out remotely. See the GitHub page for details.
Adaptations organisationnelles liées au contexte sanitaire
For the January exam session:
- If in-person exams are possible, then the evaluation will be based on an in-person written exam.
- Otherwise, the evaluation will be based on a remote written exam.
Lectures recommandées ou obligatoires et notes de cours
Slides will be made publicly available on GitHub during the semester.
The course will be based on "Artificial Intelligence: A modern approach", Stuart Russell, Peter Norvig, Third Edition, 2010. This book is highly recommended.
