General Course Description

Artificial Intelligence is a broad and well established field and AI textbooks seem to be getting longer and longer and and often narrowly specialized. Our course attempts t to provide a concise and accessible introduction to the field. It is designed to give a broad, yet in-depth overview of different fields of AI. We will examine the most recognized techniques and algorithms in a rigorous detail. We will also explore trends, areas, and developments of the field in form of lectures based on newest research and applications.

Book1

The Essence of Artificial Intelligence
Allison Cawsey
Prentice Hall, 1998

This is a short, not expensive book but not very technical.
We will cover in detail first 3 chapters and Chapter 5 supplemented by the Lecture Notes for technical details)
The chapter 7 is supplemented by the Book 2

Course LECTURE NOTES posted in Downloads EXTEND the material from the book providing TECHNICAL details and are the MAJOR SOURCE for the course.
Book 2

DATA MINING Concepts and Techniques
Jiawei Han, Micheline Kamber
Morgan Kaufman Publishers, 2011
Third Edition

Data Mining (DM) now also called also BIG DATA is a multidisciplinary field.
It brings together research and ideas from database technology, machine learning, neural networks, statistics, pattern recognition, knowledge based systems, information retrieval, high-performance computing, and data visualization.
Its main focus is the automated extraction of patterns representing knowledge implicitly stored in large databases,
data warehouses, and other massive information repositories.

Lectures 7-20 cover parts or all of the Machine Learning Algorithms included in CHAPTERS 6, 7 and CHAPTERS 8, 9
of the Book 2

Do not need to buy the book. You can download detailed slides for Third Edition at DM SLIDES

Additional Book

LOGICS FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE: Classical and Non - Classical
Anita Wasilewska
Springer, 2018

We use (Lectures 4, 6) parts of CHAPTERS 2 and 6

CHAPTER 2: Introduction to Classical Logic

The course outcomes and catalog description are in the official course description page

Student Information

Students ATTENDANCE is the most important, as Lecture Notes serve as an extra textbook for the course and students presentations are integral and as important part of the course design as Professor's lecture.

Grading

During the semester you have to complete the following
TWO QUIZZES - given in class, 15pts each - TOTAL 30pts
No make-ups

MIDTERM 65pts given in class

PROJECT (it is an application project- not programming) - 40 pts
See the section PROJECT below and Project Description in the Syllabus
It is a TEAM project - see the Team Formation section for explanation

FINAL 65pts

Extra Credit
You can earn up to 15 pts of extra credit points during the semester

Homeworks
I posted 4 Homework Assignments AND Homework Solutions
NONE will be collected nor graded- they are posted for you do study from them
I encourage students to SOLVE homework problems first- and then to compare their solutions with those posted Quizzes and TESTS will contain problems very similar to the Homework Problems
DO NOT SUBMIT Homeworks Solutions

Final Grade Computation

NONE OF THE GRADES WILL BE CURVED

During the semester you can earn 200pts plus extra credit pts
The grade will be determined in the following way: number of earned points divided by 2 = % grade
The % grade is translated into a letter grade in a standard way i.e.

100 - 90 % is A range,        89 - 80 % is B range,

79 - 70 % is C range, 69 - 60 % is D range,

and F is below 60%

See course SYLLABUS for details

Project Data Preparation Description
(for extra credit)

Project Tools

WEKA
RapidMiner

ATTENTION
Project has to be to be conducted in Teams of 3 - 4 students
All members of the Team receive the same grade

TEAMS FORMATION

Please e-mail TAs
ISHAAN BALLAL iballal@cs.stonybrook.edu or GOPI SUMMANTH SANKA gsanka@cs.stonybrook.edu
names and e-mails of your Team members denoting who is the designated Team Leader
TA will assign a Team Number to each team and e- mail it to each Team Leader to be used for future correspondence.
Contact TAs if you do not HAVE a team partner. He will help you to FORM A TEAM

All this has to be done before the SPRING BREAK by MARCH 11
