CS 360: Advanced Artificial Intelligence

CS 360 will build on the basic concepts covered in CS 260, and take a more in depth look at advanced material on a set of core topics. This will involve additional reading -- mostly survey papers and research articles from journals and edited texts. The core advanced topics will include:

• Advanced Search Algorithms: Iterative Deepening search, Advanced CSP topics.
• Knowledge Representation: Ontologies and Ontological Engineering.
• Planning systems: Planning with graphs, Partial order planning, and planning and scheduling with resource constraints.
• Reasoning under Uncertainty: Dynamic Bayes Nets and Decision making under uncertainty.
• Machine Learning: Classification and clustering methods.
• Advanced Topics: survey of an AI topic of current interest. Students will choose their own topics.
