Educational objectives
The student will acquire fundamental concepts and basic notions of artificial intelligence systems and agents based models. The student will know main algorithms for uninformed and heuristics state space search. He/she will be able to model and implement an agent based system as state space search problem. He/she know the basic schema of two players games and in particular the minimax algorithm. The student will learn the main techniques and algorithms for data mining and in particular for data classification. She/he will be able to design, implement and test a supervised learning system using different algorithm, included neural networks.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge on Python programming.
Teaching methods
Face to face lessons in room and laboratory.
