(Applied) Artificial Intelligence

Syllabus

Formalities

Course programs: DATE15 and EDA132.

The course textbook is Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, 2/e, by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, ISBN-10: 0137903952.

The course will be given in English.

Exams will be held on 1st of June 2009 and 28th (OBS!) August 2009. Location and times can be found elsewhere.

This year's course will be given by Jacek Malec, Jan Eric Larsson and Pierre Nugues. Jacek Malec is officially responsible for the course (kursansvarig). The contact info can be found on each teacher's home page. The mail address for course-related matters is . It will reach all three lecturers. NOT ANY MORE!

Schema

There will be 14 ordinary and two special lectures during the course. The 14 ordinary lectures contain material (not necessarily included in the textbook, although in most cases it is) that is compulsory for passing the course. The two additional lectures provide you with different, hopefully interesting, contents related to artificial intelligence, but not included in the curriculum, i.e., not tested during the exams.
