  FUND OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Basic concepts and techniques of artificial intelligence. Knowledge Representation: predicate logic and inference, semantic networks, scripts and frames, and object-oriented representation. Searching: such as A*, hill-climbing, minimax, and alpha-beta pruning. Computer Learning. Neural Networks: learning algorithms, neural architecture and applications.  Knowledge Acquisition and Expert Systems: properties, techniques, and tools of expert systems.
