COSC 89.24 Logic and Artificial Intelligence

The goal of this topics course is to study the foundations of different types of logic used commonly in artificial intelligence. Logic forms the basis for many types of reasoning used by humans – researchers in AI have extended classical logic over the years to numerous more “exotic” logics. This course will cover the foundations of a host of classical and non-classical logics, a number of interesting logics developed by by AI researchers for common-sense reasoning, and applications of those logics.
