Textbooks

The lecture is based on Russell and Norvig, Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, 4th Edition (Prentice Hall, 2020)

Organization

To earn the credit, it is necessary to earn enough points for solving programming oriented assignments. There will be 10 assignments, each worth at least 10 points. The threshold for passing is 70 points.

All of the assignments will be posted on ReCodEx. The source codes to solve the assignments are hosted on GitLab. All of the assignments are implemented in Python and due to the automatic checks performed by ReCodEx it is necessary to adhere to the provided templates. The deadline will always be around 2 weeks, but for the exact dates, see ReCodEx.

Topics of assignments:

• Heuristics for A*
• Total coloring using CSP
• Partitioning using SAT
• Transporting boxes using PDDL
• Minesweeper using probability
• Localization using MDP
• Navigation using Bellman equations
• Simple game using Minimax
• Predicting diabetes using decision trees (report only)
• Article classification using NN (report only)

It is NOT mandatory to attend the classes, however, it is highly recommended as the topics discussed during the class may help you with solving the assignments.

It is forbidden to share the code of your solutions with your colleagues. On the other hand, it is allowed to discuss the approach to solving the assignments.

If someone feels that they are missing the opportunity to earn the credit, do not be afraid to contact me. Such cases will be dealt with individually based on your approach to the exercise.
