- Synopsis:
-
The students will learn some of the uncoventional methods of computational intelligence aimed at solving complex tasks of classification, modeling, clustering, search and optimization. Bio-inspired algorithms take advantage of analogies to various phenomena in the nature and society. The main topics of the subject are artificial neural networks and evolutionary algorithms.
