Course detail

Computational Intelligence

FSI-9VINAcad. year: 2020/2021

Computational Intelligence covers a set of nature-inspired computational methodologies and approaches to address complex real-world problems to which mathematical or traditional modeling can be useless. The course introduces basic approaches and advance methods used in the field. Practical use of the methods is demonstrated on solving simple engineering problems. Students will be given time to practice of own optimization tasks.

Aims

To give students knowledge of Computational Intelligence fundamentals, i.e. of fundamentals of nature-inspired approaches to solving hard real-world problems. Namely of fundamentals for solving of optimization problems, mathematical models and classification. The various evolutionary algorithms, optimization metaheuristics and artificial neural networks will be presented.
