Course detail
Artificial Intelligence Algorithms
FSI-VAI-K Acad. year: 2018/2019 Summer semester
The course introduces basic approaches to artificial intelligence algorithms and classical methods used in the field. Main emphasis is given to automated formulas proves, knowledge representation and problem solving. Practical use of the methods is demonstrated on solving simple engineering problems.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Understanding of basic methods of artificial intelligence and ability of their implementation.
Prerequisites
The knowledge of basic relations of the graphs theory and object oriented technologies is expected.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Course-unit credit requirements: submitting a functional software project which uses implementation of selected AI method. Each student has to get through one test and complete all given tasks. Student can obtain 100 marks, 40 marks during seminars (20 for project and 20 for test; he needs at least 20), 60 marks during exam (he needs at least 30).
Aims
The course objective is to make students familiar with basic resources of artificial intelligence, potential and adequacy of their use in engineering problems solving.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
The attendance at lectures is recommended, at seminars it is obligatory. Education runs according to week schedules. The form of compensation of missed seminars is fully in the competence of a tutor.
