2112CIT Conceptual Foundations of Artificial Intelligence

Course aims and roughly what we'll be covering every week

Course aims

1. Build on First Year AI with both theory and implementation.

2. Integrate different AI techniques into a single project.

3. Give a more detailed account of both symbolic and biological AI, and introduce you to neural computation in practice.

Approximate subject outline

Week 1-3 Introduction to Poplog, an AI environment
Introduction to Pop11

Week 4 Implementing Eliza (Sharples ch. 2)
Start Assignment 1: an Eliza-type program

Week 5 Revision of last year: What Eliza Can't Do - a history and overview of AI

Weeks 6-9 Assignment 2: write an integrated, intelligent Tourist Guide, which can do some of the things Eliza can't do:
week 7: search (Sharples ch. 4)

week 8: knowledge representation (Sharples chs. 3 & 6)

week 9: NLP (Sharples ch. 5)

Weeks 10-13 Introduction to neural computation, using Brainwave:
