Introduction to AI
Intelligent agents: agent types, environment types
Solving problems by searching: states and actions, toy examples and real world problems, search strategies, comparison of search strategies, constraint satisfaction problems, backtracking search, constraint propagation, heuristics for CSPs, local search
Informed search methods: Greedy search, A* search, Iterative deepening search, SMA*
Game playing: minimax algorithm, alpha-beta pruning, games with stochastic elements, state of the art game programs.
uncertainty: axioms of probability, Bayes rule, application of Bayes rule, enumeration.
Probabilistic reasoning systems: belief networks, conditional independence in belief networks, inference in belief networks, inference in multiply connected belief networks, sampling methods.
Making simple decisions: basic utility theory, decision networks, value of perfect information
making complex decisions: sequential decision problems, value iteration, policy iteration.
Learning from observations: Inductive learning, Learning decision trees, computational learning theory.
