CS5044: COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE (2014-2015)

Last modified: 28 Jun 2018 10:27


Course Overview

Computational Intelligence covers a wide range of issues that developed in parallel with, or in competition to, symbolic AI. The major constituents of the field are bio-inspired computing – which deals with an ever expanding number of biologically related techniques – and fuzzy logic – which deals with reasoning under conditions of vagueness. In this course we will explore a number of topics that are core to Computational Intelligence (e.g. neural nets and evolutionary computing) and these will lead into some state-of-the-art approaches (such as fuzzy model-based reasoning and learning).

Course Description

A selection of topics spanning a range off Computational Intelligence approaches under the following headings: - Fuzzy systems (e.g. Fuzzy Logice, Fuzzy Rule Bases, Mamdani Methods) - Model-based technology (e.g. Qualitative and Fuzzy Qualitative reasoning, model-based diagnosis) - Nature Inspired Computing (e.g. Neural Nets Artificial Immune Systems, Partcile Swarm optimisation methods. This will include a rudimentary presentation of the basic biological principles involved).
