Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to know and develop basic decision making abilities of intelligent agents who are capable of acting in the real world.

Specifically, students acquire knowledge and the abilities to develop and apply

  • planning algorithms
  • methods for re-planning and computing actions’ schedules for acing in the real world
  • knowledge representation and reasoning with ontologies and real-world data
  • basic principles and algorithms for (simple or advanced) decision making
  • algorithms for learning policies towards acting in the real world

Through a critical view of methods and by acquiring experience in building systems in paradigmatic cases.

Course Contents

  • Basic and advanced planning algorithms
  • Replanning and scheduling actions with duration.
  • Reasoning and representation with ontologies and data
  • Decision making principles and methods
  • Reinforcement learning, introduction.
