There is now a late period for programming assignment #2, assignments turned in before 11:59:59 PM on the evening of Monday the 10th will incur a 20% late penalty. If there is an assignment submitted before the deadline, the better of the two assignments will be taken, taking into account the late penalty.

About the course

The course is meant as a basic introduction to the field of artificial intelligence, with an emphasis on search, logic and Bayesian reasoning. We will cover the material in Russell and Norvig's Chapters 1-6 (search), 7-9 (logic) and 13-14 (Bayesian reasoning), with a slight detours into Chapter 10 (Knowledge Representation) and Chapter 24 (Perception). There will be one programming assignment and one writing assignment on each of the three major topics.
