Course Highlights

This course includes interactive demonstrations which are intended to stimulate interest and to help students gain intuition about how artificial intelligence methods work under a variety of circumstances.

Course Description

This course introduces students to the basic knowledge representation, problem solving, and learning methods of artificial intelligence. Upon completion of 6.034, students should be able to develop intelligent systems by assembling solutions to concrete computational problems; understand the role of knowledge representation, problem solving, and learning in intelligent-system engineering; and appreciate the role of problem solving, vision, and language in understanding human intelligence from a computational perspective.

    In fact, these hours that I have spent in this course were more than wonderful. I have learned many valuable things from it, from reasoning and research to merging models and their divisions. I wished that this course would be longer - lasting, so I hope that you will fill us more with such valuable information and courses that help us to improve ourselves in this field
