DESCRIPTION

This unit introduces the basic principles of knowledge representation and search which underlie symbolic Artificial Intelligence and illustrates these principles by enabling students to represent and manipulate knowledge in small AI systems, using the Prolog computer language. The unit also describes the application of these principles in AI sub-fields, including expert systems, natural language understanding, planning, machine learning, intelligent agents, computer vision and robotics. Students also study non-symbolic approaches to AI, including neural networks, behavioural robotics and artificial life techniques.
