About AI: Search Methods for Problem Solving

This course treats artificial intelligence as search: representing a problem as states and moves, then finding a path efficiently. It is algorithmic and mathematical rather than a survey of modern AI applications.

Topics covered

  • State space representation
  • Uninformed search strategies
  • Heuristic and informed search
  • A* and admissible heuristics
  • Local search and optimisation
  • Adversarial search and game trees

Where marks go: Marks turn on heuristic reasoning — whether a heuristic is admissible, and what that guarantees about the result.

How to use these AI notes

  1. 1Read with the official AI course material open beside you. These notes are a second explanation, not a replacement — where they skip something, the course content is the authority.
  2. 2Work the examples yourself rather than reading the solutions. Notes you have only read feel familiar in the exam without being usable.
  3. 3Keep one condensed set for the final days before a quiz, and do not try to re-read everything.

Are these official IIT Madras notes?

No. EduVerse is an independent, student-run site and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to IIT Madras. Where anything here disagrees with the official course material or the institute's own announcements, the institute is right.

Is this AI material current for my term?

This collection was last revised in April 2026. Syllabi and assessment patterns change between terms, so check the topic list on this page against your own course page before relying on it. If something is out of date, tell us and we will update or remove it.

A AI file will not open — what should I do?

The files live on Google Drive, and sharing permissions occasionally change or a file gets moved. Report it on the contact page with the page address and we will re-point or replace the link. Broken links get looked at before anything else.

Can I contribute AI notes?

Yes, and it is how the library grows. Use the submit page to send a file or a link. Contributions are reviewed before they are published, and material you do not have the right to share will not be accepted.
