Target group information technology students
Year: - V semester: - I
Course description: - The purpose of this course is to give students an understanding of
Artificial Intelligence methodologies, techniques, tools and results. Students will use at least
one AI-language [Lisp, Prolog]. Students will learn the theoretical and conceptual components
of this discipline and firm up their understanding by using AI and Expert System tools in
laboratory sessions, projCP and home assignments.
Course objectives: - At the end of this course the students will be able to:
 Understand reasoning, knowledge representation and learning techniques of
artificial intelligence
 Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of these techniques and their applicability to
different tasks
 Assess the role of AI in gaining insight into intelligence and perception
 know classical examples of artificial intelligence
 know characteristics of programs that can be considered "intelligent"
 understand the use of heuristics in search problems and games
 know a variety of ways to represent and retrieve knowledge and information
 know the fundamentals of artificial intelligence programming techniques in a
modern programming language
 Consider ideas and issues associated with social technical and ethical uses of machines
that involve artificial intelligence.
