13548-01 - Lecture: Foundations of Artificial Intelligence (8 CP)
| Semester | spring semester 2025 |
| Further events belonging to these CP |
13548-01 (Lecture) 13548-02 (Practical course) 13548-03 (Practical course) |
| Course frequency | Every spring sem. |
| Lecturers | Malte Helmert (malte.helmert@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | The course offers an introduction into the basic concepts, problems, methods and algorithms of artificial intelligence. Topics include: introduction and historical development of AI, rational agents and their environments, state-space search, combinatorial optimization, constraint satisfaction problems, formal logic, automated planning, and board games. |
| Learning objectives | Students learn the theoretical and practical foundations of classical problems in artificial intelligence and their algorithmic solution. In particular, participants will obtain the necessary knowledge and skills to independently solve typical AI problems by selecting, implementing and evaluating standard algorithms from the AI literature. |
