In-depth introduction to artificial intelligence concentrating on aspects of intelligent problem-solving. Topics include situated agents, advanced search techniques, knowledge representations, logical reasoning techniques, reasoning under uncertainty, advanced planning and control, and learning. Students are expected to have background in data structures.

This course introduces the foundations of mathematical optimization and reinforces them via applications. The content includes convex optimization, first and second-order methods, constrained problems, duality, linear and quadratic programming, as well as discrete and non-convex optimization. Applications will focus on machine learning methods but also include problems from engineering and operations research. Students are required to have a mastery of Calculus II and programming proficiency in MATLAB, R, Java, C, Python, or equivalent.

This class covers natural language processing, including both methods and well-known applications. Methods discussed will range from classical probabilistic methods such as Naive Bayes and Hidden Markov Models, to contemporary neural network methods, including word vector models, recurrent neural networks, and Transformer-based models. Applications discussed will include text classification, machine translation, and conversation systems. Data structures and statistics required prior to taking this course.

Database analysis, design, and implementation. Focus on the relational model. Data description and manipulation languages, schema design and normalization, file and index organizations, data integrity and reliability. Usage of selected DBMS. Students are expected to have background in data structures.
