CSCI0410

Foundations of AI

Fall 2024

This course will provide broad coverage of core topics in artificial intelligence (AI), as a prelude to students taking more in-depth AI courses later on. To this end, the course will introduce students to prevalent AI models, both logical and probabilistic, as well as algorithms to solve these models based on search, planning, reinforcement learning, and supervised and unsupervised machine learning. These ideas will be applied to develop basic natural language processing, computer vision, robotic, and multiagent systems, all with an eye towards building socially responsible AI. Students cannot take this course and 1411 together. This course is using a centralized override-request form for CS department. Add following "All requests for overrides should be sent through that form. Override requests placed directly in C@B will be ignored. The form (and explanation of how it works) is available at https://cs.brown.edu/courses/enrolling/.";
