CS344 – Artificial Intelligence

Course description – The course has been designed to give a brief introduction to Artificial Intelligence and the associated topics. Main concepts include – search techniques, formal logic, probability and bayesian networks, neural networks, etc

Course pattern and logistics – There are 4 quizzes, a midsem and an endsem. The weightages depend on the instructor.

Comments on the instructor – Professor Siva Kumar took the course in Fall 2015. He is a good professor, however, the course coverage could have been better if the time management during the lectures was taken care of. More topics could have been covered during the course of the semester.

Who will find it interesting – The course is compulsory for CSE students. Non-CSE students who are interested in Artificial Intelligence may also find the course interesting. However, some portions of the course demand an understanding of Logic for CS (CS228). So, those who are interested in taking this course must have a basic understanding of propositional and first order logic.
