Description

This subject aims to make students aware of the many areas of artificial intelligence and the tools available for AI type solutions. Identify suitable problems for AI solutions. Examine in detail and implement structures for representing knowledge. The manipulation of knowledge, especially rule based systems. Implementing some of the AI techniques that have been introduced with AI Programming Languages.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

Demonstrate Knowledge in the foundation and general principles of Artificial Intelligence

Identify the types of AI solutions that can be formulated

Apply represenations to problem domains

Recognise structure and program various knowledge representations

Teaching and Learning Strategies

A mixture of theoretical and practical delivery.

Module Assessment Strategies

Students will apply sample code to problems to demonstrate theoretical concepts introduced culminating in an assessment to apply techniques to a Logical representation, search and exploration problem.

Demonstrate the usage data structures such as Lists in a logic based approach.

Use provided search code and adjust it to a new representation.

Write a logic based meta-interpreter program to enable a computer to provide a solution while explaining the proof for a given problem to be solved.
