Degree Programme Second cycle degree programme (LM) in Computer Engineering (cod. 8200)
Academic Year 2011/2012
Learning outcomes
The course aims at providing students the fundamentals of
Artificial Intelligence (AI). Students will be able to tackle
search problems using classical AI algorithms, such as uninformed
tree-search algorithms, Best First Greedy and A*, as well as
constraint satisfaction and constrained optimization problems by
means of backtracking search, consistency techniques, constraint
programming and metaheuristics. Moreover, students will know the
basics of evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence techniques
and neural networks. As far as knowledge representation and
automatic reasoning is concerned, students will learn how
propositional and first order logics are used in expert systems and
classical planning techniques.
