Course Objectives: |
Artificial Intelligence explains various problem solving techniques and introduces basic machine learning techniques such as supervised and unsupervised learning. Apart from that, it aims to give a solid understanding of basic machine learning problems. In addition, the course introduces current machine learning methods such as decision trees, linear regression, k-nearest neighbor, Bayesian classifiers, neural networks, logistic regression and classifier combinations. |
Course Content: |
Within the scope of this course, first of all, introduction to Artificial Intelligence, the history of artificial intelligence, its basics; Application areas of artificial intelligence, followed by intelligent agents (agents), logical agents, problem solving by searching, games and puzzles, Heuristic search from various search algorithms, Local search, Hostile search, then Genetic algorithms, Machine Learning Clustering Algorithms, K- Nearest Neighboring Algorithm, Decision Trees, Fuzzy Logic topics will be covered.
This course employs the project-based learning approach. In this respect aside from the conventional content the course has a project-based learning component. The project based- learning component aims realising one or more projects designed for learning purposes involving the development of certain intermediary and final deliverables in a step-by-step mannerby the students individually or in project teams. The evaluation of the project-based learning component involves grading the project deliverables and the project works by the instructor and/or a jury. |
Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:
|

2) Know the fundamental concepts of agents and applications of agent theory to different domains.
|
Skills
(Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)
|
1) Formulate an efficient problem space for a problem expressed in English by expressing that problem space in terms of states, operators, and initial state, and a description of goal state.
|
2) Select an appropriate search algorithm (i.e. brute-force, heuristic) for a problem, implement it, and characterize its time and space complexities.
|
3) Know (be able to explain the differences between and implement simple algorithms of) three main styles of learning: supervised, reinforcement and unsupervised.
