CS4047: COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE (2019-2020)

Last modified: 25 Sep 2019 09:58


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 of Computational Intelligence approaches under the following headings:
  • Fuzzy Systems (e.g. Fuzzy Logic, Fuzzy Rule Bases, Mamdani Methods).
  • Model-based Technology (e.g. Qualitative and Fuzzy Qualitative reasoning, model-based diagnosis).
  • Nature Inspired Computing (eg. Neural Nets Artificial Immune Systems, Particle Swarm optimisation methods. This will include a rudimentary presentation of the basic biological principles involved).
  • Introduction to Machine Learning (e.g. Decision Trees, concept learning, clustering
