Award in Introduction to Artificial Intelligence - Search, Logic, and Learning

  • MQF Level 5
  • 10 ECTS

Course Overview

The objective of this unit is to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of artificial intelligence and the problems it aims to address. The course focuses on three key areas: Search, Logic, and Learning.

Search: Students will study uninformed search algorithms (BFS, DFS, Uniform Cost), informed search algorithms (A*, Greedy Best-First), optimization problems (Hill Climbing, Simulated Annealing, Genetic Algorithms), and Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP).

Logic: Topics include Propositional Logic (syntax, semantics, truth tables, logical equivalences) and First-Order Logic (quantifiers, inference rules, unification, resolution), as well as Knowledge Representation (ontologies, frames, semantic networks) and Reasoning Systems (rule-based systems, expert systems, fuzzy logic).

Learning: The unit covers Supervised Learning techniques (linear regression, decision trees, neural networks, SVM), Unsupervised Learning methods (K-means clustering, PCA, anomaly detection), Reinforcement Learning (MDP, Q-learning, policy gradient methods), and Deep Learning concepts (CNN, RNN, GAN).

It also addresses the ethical and societal impacts of AI, focusing on bias, fairness, privacy, transparency, and implications for employment, security, and governance.

The main assessment method will be as follows: 100% Assignment (Word Count: 4,000 – 6,000 words)
