Objectives
Objectives: Study fundamental concepts and techniques of general use for Artificial Intelligence.
Learning outcomes and competences
skills:

Working method
Presencial
Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)
It is strongly recommended that the student has attended at least the foloowing two disciplines: Design and Analysis of Algorithms and Data Structures.
Program
1. Search techniques : trees and graphs, search algorithms: depth-first , breadth-first, iterative deepening. Informed search algorithms: greedy search, A* and A* with limited memory. Heuristics. Iterative improvement algorithms: hill-climbing and random -restart hill-climbing, simulated annealing. Constraint Satisfaction Problems: arc-consistency methods. Methods forward checking and lookahead. Adversarial search: minimax and alpha -beta cut.
2 . Knowledge-based systems: representation and manipulation of knowledge, propositional and first order logic, situation calculus. Inference in first order logic: backward chaining and forward chaining, resolution, refutation. Deductive systems.
3. Planning and Intelligent Robotics.
4 . Machine learning: inductive systems. Decision trees, information gain. The WEKA tool. Data Analysis.
5 . Biologically inspired models: neural networks and genetic algorithms .

Eligibility for exams
All students can attend the final exam. The exam has two components (part 1 and part 2). The student needs to achieve minimum score in each part (for more information, please, see the calculation used for the final evaluation).
Calculation formula of final grade
2 tests: T1 and T2 weighing 50% each.
To be approved, the students, in addition to positive assessment, must have a minimum score on the tests: 40% for each test
If the sum T1 + T2 + Assignments >= 9.5 and the student meets the criteria of minimum score, he/she is not required to take the exam..
The tests are not compulsory. If a student is unable to attend one or both tests, he/she must take the Normal exam or the Recurso exam, if necessary.
Even if the student has attended one of the tests or both, he/she is also entitled to attend the examination of the regular season or the examination of the appeal period.
The examination will be made on the same model of the tests, with two components:
1 - topics related to the T1 test
2 - topics related to the T2 test
Students may choose one of the components or both. The best score of each repeated part is chosen.
The final grade is calculated as follows:
N = max(T1,E1) + max(T2,E2) + Assignments
where E1 and E2 are the grades of each part of the examination..
If max(T1,E1) >= 40% AND max(T2,E2) >= 40% AND N >= 9,5
then
APPROVED
else
FAILED
Attention: even with a positive evaluation, if the student does not obtain a minimum score in some parts of the tests or examinations, he/she will be automatically disqualified.
Classification improvement
Final examination (regular season) or appeal season (Recurso).
