EDAP01 Artificial Intelligence: Course syllabus

Formalities

Course programme: EDAP01 (in Swedish) or EDAP01 (in English). (TFRP20 is identical, but refers to the "individual course", Swedish: fristående kurs, as opposed to LTH's programme courses.)

The course textbook is Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (aka AIMA), 4th ed., by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, ISBN-10: 1292401133.

The course is given in English.

(Non-obligatory) exam will be held on 14th of March 2024. Location and time can be found in the course schedule.

This year's course will be given by Jacek Malec, Elin A. Topp, Pierre Nugues and Stefan Larsson. We will have six TAs (to be confirmed): Faseeh Ahmad, Carl Hvarfner, Ayesha Jena, Simon Kristoffersson Lind, Leonard Papenmeier,  and Momina Rizwan, and two amanuensis: Ismail Hashim and Eliot Petrén. Jacek Malec and Elin A. Topp are officially responsible for the course (kursansvarig). The contact info can be found on each teacher's home page.

The assignments are expected to be filed in via Canvas. 

Other matters should be addressed directly to one of the teachers or expedition@cs.lth.se.

In the description below the teachers are denoted by the following acronyms:

  • EAT - Elin A. Topp
  • JM - Jacek Malec
  • PN - Pierre Nugues
