Ing. Marina Ronzhina, Ph.D.

Department of Biomedical Engineering (UBMI)

The graduate of the course is capable of:
- understanding principles of neural networks (with backpropagation errors, Hamming, Kohonen network),
- implementing the cluster analysis using the non-hierarchical or hierarchical methods,
- explaining the principle of fuzzy inference and approximate reasoning,
- performing selection of the most relevant features for further analysis,
- evaluating the performance of machine learning algorithms,
- giving examples of biomedical areas where above methods are widely used.

The knowledge on the Bachelor´s degree level is requested, namely on numerical mathematics. The laboratory work is expected knowledge of Matlab programming environment.

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).
Basically:
- obligatory computer-lab tutorial (missed labs must be properly excused and can be replaced after agreement with the teacher)
- voluntary lecture.
