CS 540 - Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

Notice

The information here is for Spring, 1997. Further details about the course will appear here later.

Grades

There will be four programming assignments, counting 10% each, and three exams, counting 20% each; the third exam will be at the scheduled time and place for the final. Programs may be turned in any time (until midnight) on the day due. Late assignments will loose 5% for each day late.

Topics Covered

The following order of topics isn't entirely logical, but is designed so that the topic for each programming assignment is discussed before the program is due.

Lisp Information

Since Lisp is used in a lot (not all!) of AI programming, the course will begin with a discussion of COMMON Lisp. It would probably be useful to have some Lisp reference available to supplement the lectures and the on-line help available within lisp itself. There are many paperbacks available, most of which are probably ok.
