Course Objective

The main objectives of this course are to discuss, teach and apply the methods, languages, and search paradigms in AI.; increase the abilities of analytical and theoretical thinking of students, so make them able to solve the problems efficiently.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Learn methods and applications of artificial inteligence in daily life.
2   Learn and implement the necessary search paradigms for the solutions of mathematical problems, such as constrait satisfaction problems, when needed.
3   Use appropriate search paradigm for problem solving and produce solutions for the given problems.
4   Implement programmes with Artificial Intelligence languages (Prolog, etc.).
5   Make Artificial Intelligence based programming with modern programlamming languages (Java, C, C++, C#, etc.).
6   Understand learning paradigms.
7   Apply learning paradigms in daily life and solve the problems.
