IIT Madras accepts applications for Free Online Course on Artificial Intelligence.

IIT Madras invites applications for 8- weeks online course on AI: Constraint Satisfaction.

IIT Madras is accepting applications for a free online course on Artificial Intelligence: Constraint Satisfaction. This course will be conducted through SWAYAM NPTEL platform. This is an AICTE approved FDP course. In this course participants will get to learn general approaches to solving finite domain constraint satisfaction problems and explore how search can be combined with constraint propagation to find solutions. This course will conducted by Deepak Khemani who is a Professor at Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Madras. His long-term goals are to build articulate problem solving systems using AI that can interact with human beings.

Course layout:

• Constraint satisfaction problems (CSP), examples.
• Constraint networks, equivalent and projection networks.
• Constraint propagation, arc consistency, path consistency, i-consistency.
•  Directional consistency and graph ordering, backtrack free search, adaptive consistency.
• Search methods for solving CSPs, lookahead methods, dynamic variable and value ordering.
• Lookback methods, Gaschnig’s backjumping, graph based backjumping, conflict directed back jumping. Combing lookahead with lookback, learning.
• Model based systems, model based diagnosis, truth maintenance systems, planning as CSP.  Wrapping up.

Duration: 8- weeks.
