Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students should be able to:
1. Decide if computational intelligence methods should be applied to solve a given problem and explain the advantages and drawbacks of the different approaches for the given problem.
2. Design evolutionary algorithms for a given application including the use of appropriate representation and operators.
3. Design a fuzzy system for a given application.
4. Design artificial neural networks for a given application including the choice of network and learning method.
5. Discuss limits of applicability of the different computational intelligence approaches.
Brief description
Computational intelligence as an umbrella term encompasses artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, and evolutionary computation. It describes the area of Artificial Intelligence that is concerned with sub-symbolic forms of artificial intelligence. All three areas are covered separately and studied in sufficient detail to allow students to decide about the applicability of the different approaches for given problems and apply appropriate methods for problem solving in different contexts.
Content
Fuzzy logic and extensions: fuzzy sets; rough sets; fuzzy logic; fuzzy fuzzy inference; fuzzy relations; applications
Artificial neural networks: perceptron, layered networks, back propagation; convolution neural networks and deep learning; applications
Hybrid approaches.
