IIT Delhi is currently accepting applications for a 12-week free online course called “An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence” for undergraduate students in computer science. The course basically aims at preparing students to take a variety of focused, and advanced courses in various subfields of artificial intelligence. Furthermore, a variety of models such as search, logic, Bayes nets, and MDPs, which can be used to model a new problem will also be discussed.

The course will be conducted by Prof Mausam is an associate professor of computer science department at IIT Delhi, and an affiliate faculty member at University of Washington, Seattle. He has received his PhD from University of Washington in 2007 and has completed his BTech from IIT Delhi in 2001. He was recently awarded the AAAI Senior Member status for his long-term participation in AAAI and distinction in the field of artificial intelligence.
