Course description
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a research field that studies how to realize the intelligent human
behaviors on a computer. The ultimate goal of AI is to make a computer that can learn, plan,
and solve problems autonomously. Although AI has been studied for more than half a century,
we still cannot make a computer that is as intelligent as a human in all aspects. However, we do
have many successful applications. In some cases, the computer equipped with AI technology
can be even more intelligent than us. The Deep Blue system which defeated the world chess
champion is a well-know example.
The main research topics in AI include: problem solving, reasoning, planning, natural
language understanding, computer vision, automatic programming, machine learning, and so
on. Of course, these topics are closely related with each other. For example, the knowledge
acquired through learning can be used both for problem solving and for reasoning. In fact, the
skill for problem solving itself should be acquired through learning. Also, methods for problem
solving are useful both for reasoning and planning. Further, both natural language
understanding and computer vision can be solved using methods developed in the field of
pattern recognition.
In this course, we will study the most fundamental knowledge for understanding AI. We will
introduce some basic search algorithms for problem solving; knowledge representation and
reasoning; pattern recognition; fuzzy logic; and neural networks.
