This course examines the ideas and techniques underlying the design of intelligent computer systems. Topics include knowledge representation, heuristic versus algorithmic methods, problem solving, game playing, logical inference, planning, reasoning under uncertainty, expert systems, learning, perception, natural language processing, and intelligent agents. Robotics and related AI products are also discussed. Emphasis is placed on representation as a central and necessary concept for work in intelligent systems. A functional programming language appropriate to artificial intelligence will be introduced and used for representation of intelligent systems.
