Learning outcomes

The class presents the main techniques for problem solving, based on the central paradigm of symbolic representation. The objective is to provide the students with the ability to design, apply and evaluate algorithms for difficult problems, meaning that their mechanical solution captures aspects of artificial intelligence or computational rationality.

Program

Problem solving as search in a state space; un-informed search procedures; informed search procedures and heuristic search. Constraint problem solving. Knowledge representation: use of propositional logic and first-order logic; normal forms; equality. Algorithms for satisfiability (SAT). Theorem proving: resolution and rewriting.
