Course Outline
______________________________
Part I: Problem Solving by Search

Part II : Machine Learning

Part III : Natural Language Processing

Part VI : Knowledge and Reasoning

Topics: {Planning, Fuzzy logic and Probabilistic Reasoning, Decision Making, Constraint Satisfaction, NLP topics, History of Logic}. Every three students will select one of these topics and will be given 25 minutes to present it in front of all students. Students will be evaluated based on: (i) their understanding of the topic and (ii) how much other students understood them.
