INTELLIGENZA ARTIFICIALE E LABORATORIO

Academic Year 2017/2018 - 1° Year - Curriculum Data Science

Learning Objectives

• Artificial Intelligence

  Knowledge and understanding: Students will acquire basic knowledge about Intelligent Agents and their main features.
  Applying knowledge and understanding: students will be to able to apply the acquired knowledge in several fields such as: searching for solutions to hard combinatorial problems, games and decision theory, automated deduction and reasoning.
  Autonomia di giudizio (making judgements): Students will be able to evaluate the possibility of developing algorithms and intelligent systems to mechanize decisional processes in different application fields.
  Communication skills: students will acquire the necessary communication skills and appropriate linguistic skills to explain and clarify problems relative to intelligent systems and their applications.
  Capacità di apprendimento (learning skills): students will be able to adapt the acquire knowledge to new contexts as well and to understand the limits of applicability of artificial intelligence techniques

• AI Lab

  The AI Lab will focus on the design and implementation of algorithms on problem solving, and in particular computationally hard problems.

  At the end of the Lab, students will acquire a good experience on the implementation of specific AI search methodologies and algorithms such as

  1. Uninformed Search
  2. Informed Search and Heuristics
  3. Constraint Satisfaction problems
  4. Foundations of natural computation
