Course detail

Artifical Inteligence

FSI-RAIAcad. year: 2025/2026

The course introduces the essential approaches in artificial intelligence area, including the state space search methods, stochastic optimization and machine learning, in particular the artificial neural networks including the convolution neural networks. Usage of the methods is demonstrated on solving simple engineering problems using corresponding tools (Matlab, TensorFlow).
