Weekly outline

  • Welcome to the world of Artificial Intelligence

    Instructor's Information:
    Instructor Name:       Afjal Hossan Sarower
    Designation:               Lecturer

    • Course Rationale:

      Artificial intelligence (AI) is a research field that studies how to realize the intelligent human behaviors on a computer. The ultimate goal of AI is to make a computer that can learn, plan, and solve problems autonomously. Although AI has been studied for more than half a century, we still cannot make a computer that is as intelligent as a human in all aspects. In this course, we will study the most fundamental knowledge for understanding AI. We will introduce some basic search algorithms for problem solving; knowledge representation and reasoning; game playing theories; Uncertainty; natural language processing and neural networks.

    • Course Objectives:

      The main objective of this course is to provide an introduction to the basic principles and applications of artificial intelligence.


    • After Completing the course students will be able to:

      CO1: Understand the concepts of Artificial intelligence, Intelligent Agents And issues in the design of search programs. 

      CO 2: Explain the role of agents and how it is related to environment and the way of evaluating it and how agents can act by establishing goals.

      CO 3: Analyze and simulate various searching techniques, constraint satisfaction problem and example problems- game playing techniques.. 

      CO 4: Explain the concepts of Logical Agents, Uncertainty,Natural Language processing and Expert Systems.

      CO 5: Analyze and design a real world problem for implementation and understand the dynamic behavior of a system.
