General Information

Official course programme: EDAP01 (in Swedish) or EDAP01 (in English). (TFRP20 is identical, but refers to the "individual course", fristående kurs, as opposed to LTH's programme courses.) This course is also given as EDAF70F to PhD students, but the requirements for passing are slightly different than for undergraduates. See below or contact Elin for details.

The course textbook is Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (aka AIMA), 4th ed., by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, ISBN-13 978-1-292-40113-3, or ISBN-101-292-40113-3.

To receive full course credits, you will have to pass all programming / homework assignments and the exam. It will be possible to hand in one assignment late (details below). 

This year's course will be given by Elin A. Topp, Jacek Malec, Pierre Nugues and Stefan Larsson. Some lectures (see below) will be given by PhD candidate Simon Kristoffersson Lind. We will have eight TAs (alphabetically): Faseeh Ahmad, Esranur Erturk, Ayesha Jena,  Wietze Koops, Simon Kristoffersson Lind, Leonard Papenmeier, Eliot Petrén, and Momina Rizwan. Elin A. Topp is the teacher officially responsible for the course (kursansvarig), but also Jacek Malec can help out with a lot of information. The contact info can be found on each teacher's home page.

Syllabus

There will be three combined programming and reading/writing assignments, roughly devoted to search, probabilistic reasoning in time, and basics of ML. The assignments are expected to be submitted via Canvas. The assignments will be evaluated by the TAs and approved by some teacher. You need to have all assignments approved and pass the exam to get the full course credits (7.5), the final grade will be based on the exam result. There will be a chance to submit only ONE assignment late (before the re-exam in August) - check the details in intro slides from the first lecture.

Any questions related to the assignments should be addressed in the first place to the TAs responsible for the assignment  during the scheduled resource hours (twice a week). You may also contact the responsible teacher, either during contact hours or via email.

Administrative questions (registration, etc) may be adressed to expedition@cs.lth.se, or to the course responsible (EAT).
