"6.034
introduces representations, techniques, and architectures used to build
applied systems and to account for intelligence from a computational
point of view. Topics covered include: applications of rule chaining,
heuristic search, logic, constraint propagation, constrained search, and
other problem-solving paradigms, as well as applications of decision
trees, neural nets, SVMs and other learning paradigms.*"
"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.*"
"6.825 is a graduate-level introduction to
artificial intelligence. Topics covered include: representation and
inference in first-order logic, modern deterministic and
decision-theoretic planning techniques, basic supervised learning methods,
and Bayesian network inference and learning.*"
"6.867 is
an introductory course on machine learning which provides an overview of
many techniques and algorithms in machine learning, beginning with topics
such as simple perceptrons and ending up with more recent topics such as
boosting, support vector machines, hidden Markov models, and Bayesian
networks. The course gives the student the basic ideas and intuition
behind modern machine learning methods as well as a bit more formal
understanding of how and why they work. The underlying theme in the course
is statistical inference as this provides the foundation for most of the
methods covered.*"
"This course is offered both to undergraduates
(6.803) and graduates (6.833). 6.803/6.833 is designed to help students
learn about progress toward the scientific goal of understanding human
intelligence from a computational point of view. This course complements 6.034,
because 6.803/6.833 focuses on long-standing scientific questions, whereas
6.034 focuses on existing tools for building applications with reasoning
and learning capability. The content of 6.803/6.833 is largely based on
papers by representative Artificial Intelligence leaders, which serve as
the basis for discussion and assignments for the course.*"
