Course detail

Expert Systems and Languages for Artificial Intelligence

FSI-VESAcad. year: 2019/2020

The course begins with a description of the principles of expert systems. It continues with the introduction to selected languages for artificial intelligence (Lisp, Clips and Prolog) and their use for solving problems of artificial intelligence including the creation of expert systems. In the final part of the course, selected expert systems are presented and methods of uncertainty processing are described.
