About

This repository summarizes my contributions as a Teaching Assistant for the undergraduate Artificial Intelligence course.

My responsibilities included

  • Designing programming assignments
  • Designing theoretical quizzes
  • Preparing reference solutions
  • Implementing search algorithms from scratch
  • Preparing grading materials

Homework Overview

Homework 1

Search Algorithms

Topics

  • DFS
  • BFS
  • UCS
  • IDDFS
  • Bidirectional Search
  • Dynamic Search
  • State Pruning

Programming assignments required students to implement every algorithm completely from scratch.


Homework 2

Constraint Satisfaction Problems

Topics

  • CSP
  • AC-3
  • MRV
  • LCV
  • Path Consistency
  • Adversarial Search
  • Minimax
  • Alpha-Beta Pruning

The assignments focused on both theoretical reasoning and large-scale practical implementations.


Homework 3

Regression

Topics

  • Linear Regression
  • Polynomial Regression
  • Maximum Likelihood Estimation
  • Gradient Descent
  • Stochastic Gradient Descent
  • Ridge Regression
  • Lasso Regression

All optimization algorithms were implemented without using machine learning libraries.


Homework 4

Discriminative vs Generative Models

Topics

  • Logistic Regression
  • Gaussian Classifier
  • Naive Bayes
  • LDA
  • QDA
  • Decision Boundary Analysis
  • Robustness Evaluation

Students implemented every model from scratch using only NumPy.


Quizzes

The repository also contains quizzes designed for undergraduate students.

Quiz topics include

  • Search Algorithms
  • CSP
  • Regression
  • Optimization
  • Heuristic Search

Programming Principles

All implementations follow

  • Pure Python
  • NumPy
  • Object-Oriented Design
  • Modular Code
  • Documentation
  • Reproducible Experiments

Machine learning frameworks such as scikit-learn were intentionally avoided in order to strengthen algorithmic understanding.


Skills Demonstrated

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Search Algorithms
  • Constraint Satisfaction
  • Machine Learning Fundamentals
  • Optimization
  • Educational Content Design
  • Python
  • Scientific Programming
  • Teaching Assistance
