About This Course

This module is an introduction to logic and symbolic AI. We introduce the principles of computational logic and the fundamentals of the logic programming paradigm as exemplified by the Prolog language. We then use these concepts to solve classical artificial intelligence tasks such as problem solving and game playing. 

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the basics of computational logic.
  • Model artificial intelligence tasks in logical formalisms.
  • Gain basic programming skills in the logic programming language Prolog.
  • Tackle artificial intelligence tasks using generic solution algorithms in Prolog.

Study Programs

This course is mandatory for the following study programs.

  • M.Sc. Applied AI

This course is offered in even quarters and can, therefore1, be selected as an elective in the following study programs:

  • M.Sc. Cybersecurity
  • M.Sc. Advanced Digital Reality
  • M.Sc. Digital Leadership
  • MBA Digital Technologies
  • MBA Digital Transformation

1: Generally all mandatory modules of a study program can be selected as an elective in all study programs in which they are not offered as a mandatory module. However, there are several rules that apply. First, at least half of the selected electives have to be taken from your study program. Second, all electives are only available in either odd or even quarters. Therefore, not all electives are available in all programs (given that you want to finish the program within the regular time frame and do not want to take that elective in parallel to your impact project.)
