Course Overview

Problem-solving for humans can be a tough nut to crack, and that is why certain approaches to problems can be tweaked for efficient resolution. Problem-solving in the field of artificial intelligence is not confined to a single approach but many. Problem solvers may be based on memory, search, reasoning, and knowledge representation. In AI: Constraint Satisfaction certification course, the approach to problem-solving by posing them as constraint satisfaction problems has been discussed lucidly along with the general methods to solve them.

AI: Constraint Satisfaction certification by IIT Madras. The course is taught by renowned IIT Madras faculty Prof. Deepak Khemani. Throughout this course, candidates will learn how a user poses a problem as a CSP, and then calls an off-the-shelf solver. This course carries two credits and will teach candidates about the general approaches to solving finite domain CSPs while exploring how search can be clubbed with constraint propagation to determine solutions in the field of Artificial Intelligence.

The AI: Constraint Satisfaction online course is a companion to Artificial Intelligence: Search Methods for Problem Solving course and Artificial Intelligence: Knowledge Representation & Reasoning. It has been approved by AICTE as an FDP course to upskill the faculty in the current domain.

Eligibility Criteria

Education

Applicants of AI: Constraint Satisfaction certification course are recommended to take up Exposure to AI: Search Methods for Problem Solving and AI: Knowledge Representation & Reasoning course before taking up this course, but this is not a necessary requirement.

Certification Qualifying Details

The examination is optional for students of the AI: Constraint Satisfaction Online Course but is compulsory for those wanting the online certification. The criteria for passing the examination include scoring 10 out of the 25 marks, which is the average of the best 6 assignments out of the total 8 assignments of the course and 30 out of the 75 marks in the proctored certification exam. Learners need to note that they will not receive the certificate even if their total score is 40/100 if they fail to maintain the minimum score in assignments and exams.
