Overview
The Artificial Intelligence - A Practical Introduction course at the 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.
Programme Structure
Topics to be covered include:- Agents: definitions, applications
- Reasoning: logic and agents, knowledge representation, inference mechanisms
- Decision-making: actions, time and risk
- Learning: introduction to reinforcement learning
- Multi-agent systems: definitions, strategies and knowledge, collective strategies, agent application areas.
- Multi-agent reasoning: multi-agent epistemic logic, action logics, deliberation, BDI models.
- Modelling opponents: uncertainty and expectations, multi-agent learning.
- Competitive models: strategies and equilibria, opponent modelling.
- Cooperative models: bargaining and negotiation, resource allocation, inter-agent relationships.
- Open Issues: development methodology, programming languages, standards.
- Beginner to intermediate python.
- Learning algorithms in python: regret matching, q-learning, genetic algorithms, collective intelligence.
