Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence[1]
Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence exhibited by machines. In computer science, the field of AI research defines itself as the study of "intelligent agents": any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at some goal. Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is applied when a machine mimics "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as "learning" and "problem solving"[2]
For now (January 2018), this page is a collection of my notes from my graduate class, which I will build upon and share with my students. The structure of this information is "note-taking, not ready for structured learning by students".
