For anyone interested, the class, which covers interactive intelligence and knowledge based AI, is freely available at https://www.udacity.com/course/knowledge-based-ai-cognitive-... . It's a great starting point if you're looking to automate the sort of human intelligence tasks that don't lend themselves well to the traditional searching/planning/proving/minimax/retrieval route that underpins most AI.

I took it before they rolled out the chat bot TA, unfortunately.

Also took it before the chat bot... :(

If you are thinking about a masters in CS, you must check out the OMSCS program. The cost to value ratio is completely off the charts!

"total program cost of about $6,600 over five terms"

I took that course a year ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Writing an AI agent to take IQ tests was a rewarding experience.

I'm sure I asked/answered more than a dozen questions during that semester within the Piazza platform and likely unknowingly contributed to Jill Watson's training.

thanks for the link ! question though does anybody have any good resources for doing something similar to this in javascript? I know a small amount of java, no python, and want to brush up my js skills anyways.

IIRC there was nothing specific to java or python, except for using opencv for the last exercise to visually solve ravens matrices. You could do the same with nodejs, I'd presume. It might be easier too, considering most of the code involved manipulating dynamic data structures.
