- Description:
-
The course introduces the students into the field of artificial intelligence and gives the necessary basis for designing machine control algorithms. It advances the knowledge of state space search algorithms by including uncertainty in state transition. Students are introduced into reinforcement learning for solving problems when the state transitions are unknown, which also connects the artificial intelligence and cybernetics fields. Bayesian decision task introduces supervised learning. Learning from data is demonstrated on a linear classifier. Students practice the algoritms in computer labs.
