| 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, problem solving and search, constraint satisfaction problems, formal logic, and automated planning. |
| 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. |

| Admission requirements | No formal requirements, but solid basic knowledge of foundational concepts in computer science (algorithms, complexity theory) and mathematics (formal proofs and basic concepts like sets, functions and relations) are necessary for following the lecture. Good programming skills are necessary for some of the exercises. |

| Assessment format | continuous assessment |
| Assessment details | The course includes weekly homework assignments and weekly exercise sessions. To pass the course, students need to successfully work on the homework assignments and pass the final written examination. At least 50% of the possible marks from homework assignment are needed to qualify for the final exam. The final grade for the course is based exclusively on the final exam, whill will take place as a written exam. Expected date of the exam: Wednesday, 16 June 2021, 2-4 p.m. (Physik, Grosser Hörsaal) |
