College of Computer and Information Science
Instructor: Robert Platt
This course will introduce the student to the fundamentals of artificial intelligence including the following topics:
Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, 3rd Ed., Russell and Norvig
Cheating and other acts of academic dishonesty will be referred to OSCCR (office of student conduct and conflict resolution) and the College of Computer Science. See this link.
Late programming assignments will be penalized by 10% for each day late. For example, if you turned in a perfect programming assignment two days late, you would receive an 80% instead of 100%.

Required course work is:
We will use the Pacman AI projects developed at UC Berkeley. (John DeNero (denero@cs.berkeley.edu) and Dan Klein (klein@cs.berkeley.edu). For more info, see http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs188/pacman/home.html. Used with permission.) There will be four programming assignments. All programming assignments must be completed using Python and are due at midnight on the day indicated on the schedule.
We will assign approximately one problem set each Thursday that will be due on the following Tuesday.
The final project assignment can be found here. The final project can be on any topic related to AI. Students will work alone or in groups of two. Many people choose to work on a project applying a method studied in the class to some practical problem. The amount of project work should be equivalent to approximately two programming assignments.
We're using git. You should follow the instructions outlined here.
