Modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems often combine techniques from many sub-disciplines: Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Planning, Intelligent Agents, etc. In this course, you’ll build your knowledge of techniques that can be built into AI’s that allow them to reason about their current situation and plan their next move. You’ll build AIs that can learn to play games and need to trade off exploiting strategies they already know are useful vs. exploring new strategies that may be even better. You’ll be ready to apply these techniques to solve real world problems such as finding adaptive strategies for dealing with difficult customers or optimizing use of parking spaces. By the end of this course, learners will be able to: Create your own system of intelligent software agents Use constraint solvers to find solutions to difficult problems Use increasingly rich forms of logical inference to enable the agents to make decisions that will help them achieve the goals you’ve set out for them Use probabilistic reasoning to allow them to make decisions with incomplete information Use Reinforcement Learning to enable the agents to learn winning strategies for themselves while exploring the environment they find themselves in Combine these techniques and apply them to industrial, scientific or business challenges

As our climate changes and future energy sources remain uncertain, we must know how to improve building performance for greater energy efficiency. This foundational course deals with indoor and outdoor climates and the thermal envelope that separates them. You'll learn the physics of heat and moisture transfer, how they interact and the function of thermal envelopes.
