Computational Intelligence Methods

Course guarantor:

Pavel Kordík

Lecturer:

Pavel Kordík

Tutor:

Pavel Kordík, Alexander Kovalenko

Supervisor:

Department of Applied Mathematics

Synopsis:

Students will understand methods and techniques of computational intelligence that are mostly nature-inspired, parallel by nature, and applicable to many problems. They will learn how these methods work and how to apply them to problems related to data mining, control, intelligen games, optimizations, etc.
