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.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
The attendance at lectures is recommended. Education runs according to individual schedules. The form of compensation of missed seminars is fully in the competence of the tutor.
