81940 - INTELLIGENZA ARTIFICIALE

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course the student will know the principal languages, the modeling techniques and the reasoning methods that are at the base of artificial intelligence. In particular the student will be able to construct systems that exhibit intelligent behaviours, often simulating the behavior of human experts of a specific discipline. Moreover she will be able to model and solve simple constraint and optimization problems by using constraint programming.
