CS188.1x is Berkeley's introductory edX course on artificial intelligence, covering classical AI techniques such as game trees, Bayes nets, and reinforcement learning, with projects like building a Pacman agent. It is a broad survey taught at relatively shallow depth.

Commenters call it a classic and one of the best courses they have taken, and say it builds a useful intuition for how basic AI works.

    This isn't exactly an answer to your question, but I suggest taking Berkeley's Artificial Intelligence course (CS188) on edX. It's a classic and one of the best courses I've ever taken. One of the projects is making an AI to play pacman. There's also a section on neural nets which should at least…

    If you haven't taken an AI course before, I would recommend doing an AI MOOC. https://www.edx.org/course/artificial-intelligence-uc-berkeleyx-cs188-1x is a great course, and my AI professor assigns us projects directly from this MOOC. ML is a subset of AI, so I would recommend a foundation in AI…

    Are you thinking of AI in the context of games (e.g. playing checkers) or more in the context of classifying data (e.g. recognizing handwritten digits)? For the former, you can consider looking through CS188 at Berkeley (you can see an overview of the course material here…

    If you're interested in a free class on AI, check out... https://www.edx.org/courses/BerkeleyX/CS188.1x/2012_Fall/about it recommends you know (or can quickly learn) python, but no worries... there is a class for that to (granted they run ~concurrently)…

    I'm very interested in Berkeley courses, they seem to be oriented to current CS students with solid programming basis like me: - CS169.1x: Software as a Service with Ruby. - CS188.1x: Artificial Intelligence And the Hardvard CS50 sounds very interesting to try PHP, JavaScript... For me, as a…
