Course detail
Artificial Intelligence Algorithms
FSI-VAI-A Acad. year: 2024/2025 Winter 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.

Entry knowledge
Knowledge of algorithmization, programming and the basics of mathematical logic and probability theory are assumed.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Course-unit credit requirements: Creation of functional software projects using some of the discussed AI methods and working out a presentation of some undiscussed AI method. Student can obtain 100 marks, 40 marks during seminars (30 for projects and 10 for the presentation; he needs at least 20), 60 marks during exam (he needs at least 30).
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.
Aims
Knowledge of the basic means of artificial intelligence and the possibilities of their use in solving engineering tasks.
Understanding of basic methods of artificial intelligence and ability of their implementation.
