Objective

This course is a gentle introduction to the concepts and methodologies in Artificial Intelligence from both theoretical and practical perspectives. This includes designing intelligent agents through techniques such as state-space search methods and Machine Learning. At the end of this course, students are expected to be able to develop intelligent solutions for semi real-world problems through appropriate methods that are discussed in the course. Furthermore, they are expected to gain knowledge and experience to analyze inner working of the methods and customize for specific problems. They will also get familiar with three main branches of Artificial Intelligence such as Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing and Speech processing and they will find their interest among them.

This course is 100% virtual thanks to the comprehensive interactive material and content made for this course.

The student will pass this course after submitting required assignments, quiz, and projects.
