Many of my course webpages contain slides, lecture notes,
homework assignments, and project ideas. Please feel free to
use any of these materials for teaching your own classes or
for your own education. If you do use any of these
materials, please send me a brief e-mail letting me know
that they are being put to good use. I also welcome any
suggestions that you may have, and encourage you to freely
share your own course materials.
AI for Computational Sustainability Lab Companion
I'm happy to announce the
online textbook Artificial
Intelligence for Computational Sustainability: A Lab
Companion with Doug
Fisher, Bistra Dilkina, and Carla Gomes. This is an
experiment in crowd-sourced textbook creation, intended to
supplement an AI course with assignments related to
sustainability. We recently presented papers on this
project at AAAI'12 (Fisher
et al 2012a) and Computational Sustainability 2012 (Fisher
et al 2012b).
Educational Software
Gridworld search and rescue: a project framework for a course in artificial intelligence.
This educational software allows students to develop an
intelligent agent for a search and rescue application in a
partially observable gridworld. It allows students to focus
on high-level AI issues for solving the problem rather than
low-level robotic navigation. It was used as the semester
project for CS63 (Artificial Intelligence) in Fall 2009 at
Swarthmore College and CMSC 471 (Artificial Intelligence) in
Fall 2007 at UMBC.
