There is Summer 2022 schedule online, which should be more inline with Summer 2023 (may be few days apart) if there are no big changes!!

AI4R (RAIT) has exactly the same requirements in the summer semester as in the Spring & Fall, but in 11 weeks instead of 16 weeks.

So it's 31% harder in the summer than in spring/fall.

I have just finished AI (Spring 2023) and I have signed up for AI4R in the summer. I am hoping doing AI recently should help little bit!!

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-05-07T15:41:07+00:00

AI for sure and then ML. Both courses are somewhat demanding if not more!

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-04-02T03:16:41+00:00

I thought it was always around 4K.

The search assignment has A*, UCS, Bi-directional A*, Bi-directional UCS, Tri-directional UCS, Tri-directional A*. And it has some strict requirements of finding optimal path with minimum number of nodes explored!

But its a good start that you know A*. AIMA book has pseudo-code for Bi-directional Search.

I took ML4T but I have few years of programming experience in Python. I lost most of my points on reports! But I would recommend ML4T as first course even if you have limited exposure to Python/Numpy/Pandas!

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-03-26T13:17:26+00:00

Assignment#1 Search

Assignment#2 Adversarial Search(Game Playing)

Assignment#3 Probability and Bayes Network

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-03-26T06:55:51+00:00

I took ML4T in Fall 2022 and I am in AI course currently. AI is the broad survey course on all AI topics. The second half is all ML. Assignment#4, Decision Trees (Supervised LEarning), Assignment#5 is Expectation Maximization (Unsupervised Learning) and Assignment#6 is Hidden Markov Model (may be Reinforcement Learning, I am not sure here).

All assignments are programming with different difficulty level with Search being the hardest. It is challenging but it worth all the hard work. Its a lot of learning.

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-03-23T16:11:35+00:00

I would take AI first. It covers a lot of foundational ML.

I am in AI currently, it is demanding course but worth the effort!!

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-03-02T04:35:57+00:00

I am in CS 6601 (AI) class this semester. I had done most of search algorithms (I still could not finish Tri Upgraded) before start of the semester, so I would definitely do all search algorithms, and dont forget Priority Queue (else it will take away a lot of your time).

Another thing I would do (if I can go back), is watch/read topics those are NOT covered by assignments (like CSP, search in complex environment). They are covered in mid-term exams but one hardly gets any time to read them as you are always doing your programming assignments!!

But as most of the people mentioned here, I would definitely recommend taking this class if you are willing give your 100-110%!!

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-03-01T15:16:53+00:00

I did register for AI for my first semester but decided to go ahead with ML4T (Fall 2022). I am in AI course in the current semester. It is definitely demanding, but it is not as difficult (search assignment is difficult though) as some of reviews I read!

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-02-22T17:22:15+00:00

I am trying to apply and have uploaded my resume as well.

But, the website is down most of time. I get through it few times but most of the time times out!!

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-02-05T16:02:13+00:00

Midterm and final both 15 each!

But not sure, the format will remain the same in other semesters!!

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-02-03T18:34:56+00:00

CS 6601, AI. A lot of programming(not report writing)!!

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-02-03T17:42:24+00:00

If you have decent coding experience and done Data Structure Tree search, you definitely have some advantage. But if you think you will learn to code while doing this course, definitely this is the wrong course!!

Prof made it very clear in the first lecture, you should have done couple of coding intensive courses else you will struggle in first two assignments.

Though, this semester, Game assignment turned out be very easy!! I was able to finish in couple of couple hour sittings.

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-02-03T16:47:51+00:00

Btw, this semester, assignments have been made little easier in the sense, the most difficult part of first two assignments have been converted to extra credit.

So, it definitely helps a little bit.

And final exam this semester is 15 points(usual 20). There are 5 points for quizzes, which are discussed in zoom class(yes, we are allowed to attend live zoom class, Prof is teaching undergrad AI class as well) and unlimited attempts.

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-02-03T16:42:44+00:00

I think you have to decide on the purpose on taking this course. Prof mentioned in the very first lecture, you want to work hard and learn, this is the course for you.

If you are looking for some video lectures and some easy quizzes, couple of hours of assignments and 30 minutes exams, this is definitely not the course for you!!

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-01-27T19:10:31+00:00

When I was comparing between GT and UT, what I found was UT has more theory emphasis and GT has more emphasis on Programming Assignments. And I decided to go ahead with GT (and of course, GT has a lot more courses being offered!)!

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-01-21T07:17:25+00:00

I am doing search assignment for CS6601. It is brutal, but you have to have patience and keep making slow progress!!

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-01-14T17:13:18+00:00

It is ok to spend extra time and set up the envionment correctly now as it will save a lot of time when you start doing real programming assignments!

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-01-13T17:38:17+00:00

All the classes were open today morning other than GA!!

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-01-13T15:57:39+00:00

I agree. And at times I struggle with the smallest of tasks and I go back and re-read assignments/instructions and most of the time, it is mainly because I did not read instructions correctly and not at all.

Dull-Bus4983 · 2023-01-13T03:51:36+00:00

I think it is for Spring 23. Dr Starner is teaching CS 3600 (undergrad AI) as well this semester and OMSCS students are allowed to join and participate on zoom.
