Metodologia docent
This course will build on different teaching methodology (TM) aspects, including:TM1: theoretical lecture sessions
TM2: practical sessions with invited speakers from the industry
TM3: laboratory session
TM4: oral presentations of the students
TM5: development of a final project
Mètode d'avaluació
The evaluation of the subject is done through several activities:1. The students must choose a paper with a state-of-the-art technique related to the concepts seen in class and explain it in an oral presentation (15% of the final grade).
2. Laboratory assignment of an HLE application (15% of the final grade).
3. The students must deliver a report from an industrial session, where invited speakers from the industry explain actual applications of HLE (10% of the final grade).
4. For the other 60% of the mark, the students will develop a project that will consist of one of the following options:
a) Deep study of a specific HLE application or a comparative study of HLE applications
b) Development of a HLE application
c) Development of a proposal to solve a specific real challenge
In all cases, the students must prepare an oral presentation (10%) and write a report (50%).
