Prereq.: previous AI course at the graduate level or familiarity with basic first-order logic and probability

In this seminar course, we'll investigate approaches to learning in worlds with objects. The goal is to synthesize understanding of first-order representations from logic, probabilistic models of planning and learning, and connections to perception.

Coursework will consist of a fairly large amount of reading in the research literature and a final project or paper. Students may be asked to lead discussions of papers in class. All students will be expected to participate in discussions.
