An intelligent agent needs to be able to solve problems in its world. The ability to create representations of the domain of interest and reason with these representations is a key to intelligence. In this course we explore a variety of representation formalisms and the associated algorithms for reasoning. We start with a simple language of propositions, and move on to first order logic, and then to representations for reasoning about action, change, situations, and about other agents in incomplete information situations. This course is a companion to the course “Artificial Intelligence: Search Methods for Problem Solving” that was offered recently and the lectures for which are available online.

Mr. AwesomeComplete knowledge, quality content accompanied by good teaching. This course actually one of the three modules taught by Prof.Deepak Khemani. Other two are AI: Search method and problem solving and AI: constraint satisfaction. By taking these courses, it will help build solid foundation in AI.
