No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1986–87 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
The objective of this course is to introduce the students to current intelligent system concepts. Artificial intelligence systems in areas such as natural language understanding, speech understanding, machine vision and learning will be discussed. Methods and tools for building expert systems will be introduced.
As printed in the 1986–87 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
