Course detail
Artificial Intelligence Algorithms
FSI-VAI-KAcad. year: 2019/2020
The course introduces basic approaches to artificial intelligence algorithms and classical methods used in the field. Main emphasis is given to automated formulas proves, knowledge representation and problem solving. Practical use of the methods is demonstrated on solving simple engineering problems.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Course-unit credit requirements: passing partial tests and submitting a functional software project which uses implementation of selected AI method. Student can obtain 100 marks, 40 marks during seminars (20 for tests and 20 for project; he needs at least 20), 60 marks during exam (he needs at least 30).
Language of instruction

Aims
The course objective is to make students familiar with basic resources of artificial intelligence, potential and adequacy of their use in engineering problems solving.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
The attendance at lectures is recommended, at seminars it is obligatory. Education runs according to week schedules. The form of compensation of missed seminars is fully in the competence of a tutor.
