Course Description

We overview artificial intelligence and discuss its limitations and future. Also, this class deals with the following topics; history of AI, classical AI, reinforcement learning, deep leaning, expert system, neural network, Bayes' theorem, symbol grounding problem, frame problem, etc.

Course Objectives

The aim of the course is to learn fundamental methods and techniques of artificial intelligence.

Grading Policy

Students are evaluated with mini-reports in each lecture (30%), a mid-term exam (30%) and a term exam (40%).
