The aim of this course is to provide the students with the knowledge and skills required to design and implement effective and efficient Computational Intelligence solutions to problems for which a direct solution is impractical or unknown. Specifically, students will acquire the basic concepts of fuzzy, evolutionary and neural computation. The student will also apply this knowledge to solve some real case studies.

Metodología docente

The topics exposed in the lectures are very well motivated (why is this important?) and motivating (why is this relevant nowadays?) and supplemented with many real examples. These lectures will introduce all the knowledge, techniques, concepts and results necessary to achieve a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts and techniques. There are three laboratory sessions serve to reinforce the theoretical concepts introduced in the lectures as well as to prepare for the practical work to be delivered at the end of the course.

This practical work requires the student to pick a real problem that collects and integrates the knowledge and skills of the course. In addition there is a written test of basic knowledge.

Método de evaluación

The course is scored as follows:

NPract = Score for the practical work
NExam = Score of the exam
NUSRI = Score of the generic skill USE OF INFORMATION RESOURCES

NFINAL = 25% NExam + 70% NPract + 5% NUSRI
