This semester, we are returning to Russell and Norvig's Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (3rd Edition).

Last time, we did the first part of the book, plus chapters 13-15 on Bayesian inference and Bayes nets. This time we are moving on to making decisions and integrating desires with Bayesian inference. We start with Chapter 16 ('Making Simple Decisions') and work forwards. We will progress to chapters on learning, neural nets, and RL.

A preview of the book is here: http://d.pr/11BOc
