I took the same course as part of the OMS CS[0] program. I wasn't terribly a fan of the lectures, but the most fascinating part for me was the course project: building an AI agent that solves Raven's Progressive Matrices[1], basically a visual IQ test. Really intriguing and challenging stuff... easy to get "easy" problems right, but incredibly hard for any of the harder[2] ones. I do wish I didn't have to mess with any computer vision, and instead spent more time integrating more concepts in KBAI.

I took the class during my undergrad at Tech and I could not agree more. There was such a disconnect between the class material and the project.

Additionally, this is the class that gave us "Jill Watson", the robot TA.
