CS1351 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

AIM
Artificial Intelligence aims at developing computer applications, which encompasses perception, reasoning and learning and to provide an in-depth understanding of major techniques used to simulate intelligence.

OBJECTIVE
• To provide a strong foundation of fundamental concepts in Artificial Intelligence
• To provide a basic exposition to the goals and methods of Artificial Intelligence
• To enable the student to apply these techniques in applications which involve perception, reasoning and learning.
