Graduate Artificial Intelligence
Instructors: Gordon, Sandholm
Units: 12.0

Description:
This course is targeted at graduate students who need to learn about current-day research, and about how to perform current-day research, in artificial intelligence---the discipline of designing intelligent decision-making machines.

Techniques from probability, statistics, game theory, algorithms, operations research and optimal control are increasingly important tools for improving the intelligence and autonomy of machines, whether those machines are robots surveying Antarctica, schedulers moving billions of dollars of inventory, spacecraft deciding which experiments to perform, or vehicles negotiating for lanes on the freeway. This AI course is a review of a selected set of these tools. The course will cover the ideas underlying these tools, their implementation, and how to use them or extend them in your research.
