Courses In This Program

Course 1 4 weeks

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

In this course, you'll learn about the foundations of AI. You'll configure your programming environment to work on AI problems with Python. At the end of the course you'll build a Sudoku solver and solve constraint satisfaction problems.

Course 2 4 hours

Classical Search

Learn classical graph search algorithms--including uninformed search techniques like breadth-first and depth-first search and informed search with heuristics including A*. These algorithms are at the heart of many classical AI techniques, and have been used for planning, optimization, problem solving, and more. Complete the lesson by teaching PacMan to search with these techniques to solve increasingly complex domains.

Course 3 3 weeks

Automated Planning

Learn to represent general problem domains with symbolic logic and use search to find optimal plans for achieving your agent’s goals. Planning & scheduling systems power modern automation & logistics operations, and aerospace applications like the Hubble telescope & NASA Mars rovers.

Course 4 4 hours

(Optional) Optimization Problems

Learn about iterative improvement optimization problems and classical algorithms emphasizing gradient-free methods for solving them. These techniques can often be used on intractable problems to find solutions that are "good enough" for practical purposes, and have been used extensively in fields like Operations Research & logistics. Finish the lesson by completing a classroom exercise comparing the different algorithms' performance on a variety of problems.
