This course in 2010 will ¡­

This course in 2010 will be quite similar to the successful versions of 2009 and 2010. Specifically, we will assume the same NLP text book (Jurafsky & Martin, 2008), as background to various search problems to be studied and implemented; please obtain a copy of this book for the start of the semester. Additionally, we will read parts of Seibel (2005), as a general introduction to Common Lisp and intelligent problem solving; this book is available on-line, hence no need to purchase a personal copy (unless you decide you wanted to :-). Please watch this space for updates over the next few days. Remember that attendance of the first lecture, on August 31, is obligatory.
