The course description, including expectations for assignments,
academic integrity, and a schedule for assignments and tests is here. You are expected to read this
document. What is given is is only a pale shadow of that information!
;-)
CSE 150 is an upper-division course devoted to the basic concepts
and algorithms of modern artificial intelligence (AI) research.
150 is part of a two quarter sequence with CSE 151, but each course may
be taken independently. 150 will
mainly cover
search and reasoning methods, while 151 will focus on learning
methods. Both courses will cover theory
and applications.
Some specific AI topics that will be covered in CSE 150 are:
Lectures are Tuesdays and Thursdays in Peterson Hall room 102 from
11-12:20.
Section meetings are on Wednesdays (1-1:50PM Warren Lecture Halls 2206.
Useful information concerning assignments will be discussed at section!
The instructor is Gary Cottrell. Office hours will be on
Mondays
from 1:15pm to 2:15pm, and Fridays 10-11am, in CSE building (aka EBU3b
4130). If you are
unable to attend office hours, feel free to send an email (gary at ucsd
dot edu).
For registration, the section id is 588775. Note: We have decided to let the waiting list in. If necessary, come to lecture and the instructor will sign an add card.
Here is a practice midterm. Note
that it has a LOT of Lisp questions, which are
IRRELEVANT. This
is more to see what the format of my midterms is than
anything else.
The first homework was
due
on Thursday, April 12th.
The second homework is due
Thursday, April 19th.
The third homework is due
Tuesday, May 1.
The fourth homework is due
Tuesday, May 8(in class) or Wednesday, May 9 (in section).
The fifth homework is due
Tuesday, June 5(in class) or Wednesday, May 6 (at start of section).

Quite a few of the topics discussed in class will not be in the
book, or will be explained differently. Coming to lectures and taking
notes carefully is important. As the quarter progresses,
it is your responsibility to locate relevant chapters of the books and
to study them. Use the indexes of the books!
