Course detail
Artificial Intelligence in Sport
CESA-SUINAcad. year: 2019/2020
The course is focused on the commonly used methods from the artificial intelligence area: artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic and fuzzy inference systems, and cluster analysis. The theoretical (basic principles of the methods) and practical (application of methods for solution of classification, regression, or clustering tasks) aspects are studied. Theory is discussed in direct connection with practical examples. All computational techniques are learned during PC exercise using Matlab. This course prepares candidates for the sole use of the methods in their scientific or routine work.
Supervisor
Learning outcomes of the course unit
Candidates will get knowledge and skills in area of artificial intelligence applications. He will be competent to apply some widespread methods for real tasks solving, naimly to process and analyse data.
During written examination, it is verified, whether the student is able to:
- discuss basic terms from artificial intelligence area
- describe basic methods in this area
- discuss advantages and disadvantages of particular methods
- select and apply appropriate tools to solve the task
- estimate the quality of obtained result and present it in a proper way
- interpret obtained results
Prerequisites
The knowledge on the Bachelor´s degree level is requested, namely on numerical mathematics. Knowledge of Matlab is required during PC excercise.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Teaching methods include lectures and computer exercises. Course is taking advantage of e-learning system. Students have to write two tests during the course.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Requirements for completion of a course are elaborated by the lecturer responsible for the course every year;
- 30 points can be obtained for activity in the PC exercises consisting in solving tasks (at least 15 points are required for further examination),
- 70 points can be obtained for the written exam (at least 35 points are required to pass the exam successfully).

Aims
The goal of the course is to provide the students with sufficient knowledge from artificial intelligence area and to present them the possible use of modern tools of artificial intelligence in acquisition, processing and analysis of data for sport.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Delimitation of controlled teaching and its procedures are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every year (see Rozvrhové jednotky).
Generally:
- obligatory computer-lab tutorial (missed labs must be properly excused and can be replaced after agreement with the teacher)
- voluntary lecture.
