Seminar Description
The seminar covers research papers that discuss reasoning algorithms in
artificial intelligence. The focus is on logical and probabilistic
knowledge and the use of structure in automated reasoning.
We will discuss logical languages, probabilistic systems,
dynamic systems, and decision making with these languages and systems.
We will cover both exact and approximate techniques for reasoning,
and will emphasize applications of these techniques in vision,
robotics, virtual worlds, and others.
Prerequisites
- Knowledge of main reasoning techniques with logic and probabilities.
- Knowledge of basic computer science principles and skills.
- Knowledge of basic artificial intelligence problems and principles (at the level of CS348).
- Mathematical ability and the ability to understand and analyze fairly
complicated algorithms and data structures. (CS373 is sufficient but not necessary.)
- Some independence.
