None

Academic preconditions:
The content of the courses DM527 Mathematical Tools, MM501 Calculus I, DM502 Programming A, DM503 Programming B, and ST501 Science Statistics must be known.

Course introduction
To provide the students with knowledge about the basic concepts and techniques underlying intelligent computer systems. The focus is on four aspects - problem solving, reasoning, decision making and learning - and on the logical and probabilistic foundations of these activities.

Expected learning outcome
outline the basic logic and probabilistic principles of problem solving, reasoning, learning, and decision making under uncertainty; describe in detail the fundamental algorithms of searching, reasoning, learning and decision making under uncertainty that appear in the curriculum of the course; assess the applicability of basic problem solving, reasoning and learning techniques to different problems that resemble those seen in the lectures; develop intelligent systems to solve concrete computational problems.

Subject overview
Problem solving by searching, constraint programming, logic inference, knowledge representation, planning, decision making under uncertainty, neural networks, statistical learning, multiagent systems.
