Course Overview
An intelligent agent must know how to solve real-world problems. The key to intelligence is creating visualizations of the domain of interest and reasoning with these representations. In this Artificial Intelligence: Knowledge Representation and Reasoning certification course, you will explore various associated algorithms for reasoning and representation formalisms.
The Artificial Intelligence: Knowledge Representation and Reasoning certification by IIT Madras available on Swayam starts with a basic language of propositions. After that, it moves on to first-order logic, and subsequently, to representations for reasoning about change, situations, actions, and other agents in cases where there is a lack of information. This course is a companion to the course “Artificial Intelligence: Search Methods for Problem Solving” that was offered recently and the lectures for which are available online.
Along with the lectures, Artificial Intelligence: Knowledge Representation and Reasoning online course also provides links to supplementary reading materials. After 12 weeks, you will also have a chance to appear for a proctored exam. Passing this exam will get you a course completion certificate, which you can employ to showcase your skills in Artificial Intelligence.
