Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Have knowledge about what encompasses artificial intelligence (AI) and its main applications
• Have knowledge about the basic algorithms and heuristics used for searching in graphs such as shortest path, A* and the travelling salesman problem
• Have knowledge about optimisation techniques such as gradient based methods for convex functions and metaheuristic methods
• Have knowledge about the concepts of supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques, about perceptron learning and multilayer perceptron learning for classification
