AI-KRR: The last lap
Dear All,
We have begun the last week of our course, the last lap in this thirteen week journey. The last set of videos are up, and the last assessment will be uploaded tomorrow on Tuesday.
The ability to represent knowledge and reason with it is going to be crucial to machines (or "robots", the popular term nowadays) becoming intelligent. The ability to build systems that can reason with what they know will surely create opportunities in the rapidly emerging area of developing AI applications.
Congratulations to all those who have remained with the course
throughout this journey! I do hope you found it enjoyable as well as
fruitful!
We look forward to you in the final exam at the end of this month!
With best wishes,
Deepak Khemani
Doubts and questions
Dear All,
As we near the end of the
course and the final exam approaches we would like to address any doubts
and questions that students may have. For this we are planning to have
an interactive session, most likely via video conference, in which we
can try and clarify any doubts that the students might have.
In
order to do this in a structured manner we are inviting in advance
questions that you may have. Please state your question on the document
through this link. Before doing that please have a look at questions
that someone else may have asked, so that we do not have duplication.
We will address these doubts and questions once we can fix a suitable
time and date.
Best regards,
DK
Sample papers
Dear All,
There was a request for some sample papers for the final exam which is subjective. I am uploading three papers I have used in exams here at IIT Madras in the past. Look in the course outline in the course page. The final exam paper is likely to be similar in nature.
Best wishes!
DK

Artificial Intelligence: Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
Welcome to the online course "Artificial Intelligence: Knowledge Representation and Reasoning" !
