This course introduces the basic concepts and techniques of artificial intelligence. Knowledge representation: predicate logic and inference, semantic networks, scripts and frames, and object-oriented representation. Searching: such as A*, hill-climbing, minimax and alpha-beta pruning. Planning: the frame problem and the STRIPS formalism, representation schemes and planning strategies. Neural networks: learning algorithms, neural architecture and applications. Natural language processing. Knowledge acquisition and expert systems: properties, techniques and tools of expert systems
