Overview
The Artificial Intelligence, A Practical Introduction course from University of Warwick combines the use of logical, game-theoretic and algorithmic analysis.
Learning Outcomes
Students will learn the basic methodologies for the design and the analysis of AI in complex systems with many interacting agents, ranging from competitive to cooperative interaction. The course take will be interdisciplinary, touching upon themes that are important for computer science, economics, and philosophy.
By the end of the course the students will learn how to program a strategic agent participating in an auction. During the allocated seminars time students will be receive support on the programming skills required for the task (Python), from scratch.
