Course description
This lecture demonstrates some intelligence algorithms and AI systems. These topics range from Base technology to state-of-art one.
In the first half of the class, the area of AI which was studied actively in 1980s’ is shown. For example, search algorithms are the one of an important problem-solving technique, and can solve the particular problems based on the heuristics. Also, the knowledge representations and Logic can be learned from leading to Prolog.
In the second half of the class, the topics related to Natural Language Processing, Web Intelligence, and Software Agents are learned as explaining the algorithms and idea related to them.
Expected Learning
- Learning the whole knowledge related to AI
- Learning the ability to generate the AI system

Assessment/Grading
The grade evaluation in this online class is premised on all attendances, and comprehensively evaluates the attitude to learn, quizzes, report, and online tests. The standard study time set by the our university is required to get the grade.

The rate of evaluation is as follows: Small Quiz, reports, and Examination (100%)

Grade will be given according to the following criteria by comprehensive evaluation: S: 90 points or more, A: 80 or more and less than 90 points, B: 70 or more and less than 80 points, C: 60 or more and less than 70 points.
Message from instructor(s)
Through the AI class, you can learn the way that computers solve the complex problems with the intelligence. In addition, you can learn some important AI algorithms which work in the society.
