We shall use this to make the course better and we can also know from the feedback which concepts need more explanation, etc.
Please do spare some time to give your feedback - comprises just 5 questions - should not take more than a minute, but makes a lot of difference for us as we know what the learners feel.

AI:CSP - tips to get the most out of the course
Dear Student,
Our journey has begun. The first
set of videos and the first weekly assignment has been uploaded. Welcome
aboard AI: Constraint Satisfaction Problems.
Here is our view of how to navigate this course to get the most out of it.
The
course spans 8 weeks, with 2 to 3 hours of video every week, and a
weekly assessment. It is very important to keep pace with the course,
even when some students may feel that the initial part is definitions
and rudimentary. We recommend the following.
1. Do spend the time at your convenience to watch the videos carefully.
2.
Do interact on the forum by clicking on 'Ask a Question' tab if you
have doubts, and queries about the assessments. We will try and address
those queries as early as possible. Where needed we will upload some
additional solved problems to help understand the concepts better.
Once
you are done with the 8 weeks, you are almost through. Even though the
final exam carries 75% weight for the certificate, it is simply a final
check done in examination conditions where you get 3 hours to do the
paper. The paper will be similar to the weekly assessments. If you have
done the weekly assessments successfully, or gone over the published
solutions carefully, you will find that the final exam is a simpler
version of the problems you did over the 8 weeks.
The
key to doing well, then, is to do the 8 weeks diligently. Having done
that you should sail through the final exam with flying colours.
Happy learning!
Deepak Khemani

Welcome to AI: Constraint Satisfaction
Dear Student,
Welcome to this short 8 week course on Constraint Satisfaction in Artificial Intelligence.
Constraints embody a formalism in which may
Artificial Intelligence problems can be posed in a uniform manner. We
refer to such representations as constraint satisfaction problems (CSP).
Essentially, a CSP is defined by a set of variables that represent the
situation, and can take values from its domain. Each variable can take
only some values that are constrained by the values taken by other
variables that it is related to. This uniformity of problem formulation
means that the problems being solved by general-purpose algorithms,
which are domain independent. This is consistent with the goals of
general problem solving in AI, and is a very powerful technique.
We
do constraint satisfaction all the time in one form or the other. This year we are starting the course with a preliminary assignment 0, which will hopefully give you a flavour of the course. Please attempt the assessment, and you can also check the answers immediately. This assessment will not be counted in the evaluation.
If
you can solve three or more of the problems, then you are all set for
this course, to learn the algorithms that would solve these kind of problems!
In
this course we look at the general algorithms that are used to solve a
subclass of CSPs known as finite domain CSPs, where the domains of each
variable are finite. The prerequisites for doing this course are
minimal. All you need is some exposure to Discrete Math, and a flair for
Algorithms.
I do hope you will both enjoy the course and benefit from it.
Regards,
Deepak Khemani
