AI Programming in Python
Duration: 5 Days
Intended Audience
This course is for those who wish to or need to explore the classical and more modern Artificial Intelligence programming paradigms using Python as their language of choice. It can also serve as a fairly intensive introductory course to practical AI programming techniques.
Course Overview
Python is a most versatile and adaptible language and lends itself to the implementation of AI applications. As a "wrapper language" it can incorporate machine learning and AI frameworks and libraries written in languages such as C and C++
This course assumes a reasonable familiarity with python programming, The course will be based on Python 3 and on Russell and Norvig's book "Artificial Intelligence a Modern Approach" which will be the set book for the course. The goals of the course are to introduce attendees to the various AI programming paradigms including the foundations of logic programming and machine learning.
