6.034 Artificial Intelligence

6.034 Artificial Intelligence (Fall 2010, MIT OCW). Instructor: Professor Patrick Henry Winston. This course introduces students to the basic knowledge representation, problem solving, and learning methods of artificial intelligence. Upon completion of 6.034, students should be able to develop intelligent systems by assembling solutions to concrete computational problems; understand the role of knowledge representation, problem solving, and learning in intelligent-system engineering; and appreciate the role of problem solving, vision, and language in understanding human intelligence from a computational perspective.

Lecture 03 - Reasoning: Goal Trees and Rule-Based Expert Systems

We consider a block-stacking program, which can answer questions about its own behavior, and then identify an animal given a list of its characteristics. Finally, we discuss how to extract knowledge from an expert, using the example of bagging groceries.
