Course Goals
:
Learn the basic AI techniques, the problems for which they
are applicable and their limitations. Topics covered include
heuristic search algorithms,
Knowledge-representation (logic-based and probabilistic-based)
inference and learning algorithms.
Academic Honesty:
Academic honesty is taken seriously. It is the responsibility of
each student to be familiar with UCI's current academic honesty
policies. Please take the time to read the current UCI Senate
Academic Honesty Policies.
Assignments:
There will be weekly homeworks, about 7-8 throughout the quarter, each
on the material covered in class up to that time. Homeworks will account for 25-30%
of the grade. Homeworks will be assigned on Tuesday and will be due to following Thursday at 2:00 pm in class (stay tuned for changes towards the end of the quarter)
The lowest scored homework will be dropped.
There will be no make-ups for homeworks.
There will be 1 project which will
account for 10-15% of the grade.
There will be one midterm exam, closed books which will account for
20% of the grade.
There will be a final exam, closed books during the final week
which will account for 40% of the grade.
Bulletin Board:
Read ics.171 for announcements, answers to homework etc.
Also, please post
questions about homework or anything else there.
If you don't understand something, others probably don't either
and will have the same question.
Procedures:
Some handouts will be distributed during the quarter by the
Distribution Center, others will be available to buy in the Engineering
Copy Center.
