Comments/contents:
The course will be offered in a hybrid format. To account for the Corona situation, however, it will also be possible to attend lecture in 22/23 merely online. The exact procedure and implementation will be discussed with the students in the first lecture.
Processing knowledge and representing knowledge are the central requirements for artificial intelligence systems. Many tasks in computer science, in particular those dealing with natural and inherently noisy environments, involve high degrees of complexity in actually perceiving, understanding and transferring available information. This lecture will present methods for processing and representing knowledge from a theoretical as well as from an application-oriented perspective. The theoretical concepts are exemplified by the areas of common sense reasoning, intelligent processing of imprecise or uncertain information, intelligent planning, language, and intelligent agents - for virtual agents and real robots as well as for autonomous individuals and multi-agent systems. Recent practical realizations are providing a transfer to knowledge-based software solutions and to robotic systems for day-by-day tasks.
Learning objectives:
Advanced knowledge of concepts and methods in the area of knowledge processing including knowledge representations and integration in realistic application scenarios. Preparation for further modules focussing on knowledge processing with neural networks, language processing, computational vision, robotics, and human-computer interaction as well as projects and master theses.
Didactic concept:
Lecture with discussions complemented with the associated seminar.
