Course objectives
The course provides a basic overview of goals, methods and techniques of the contemporary artificial intelligence (AI). The explanation is centered at the view of an intelligent agent which perceives and acts in a certain environment. Due to restricted scope of the course we focus on rational behaviour of the agent, i.e., how to reach its goals most efficiently. Both agents' capabilities and properties of the environment must be considered. An introduction to rational agents construction is followed by techniques of the state space search, including a multi-agent environment and basic game strategies. The course is concluded by basics of machine learning, including artificial neural networks.
