ME 570 Computational Intelligence                          

(Fall Semester)
Credit Structure:  (3+0) 3

Description :

Introduction to conventional AI topics, and recently surging intelligent optimization schemes. From the theory of Neural Networks, to the scheduled cooling in parameter optimization in SA. Inductive and Deductive decision making, simulation of natural processes where nature is at her best : The evolution. It is intended to cover a range of topics from classical to modern computational intelligence.

Course Objectives :

This course is meant to let graduate students acquire a basic insight into the emerging methodologies in the so-called field of computational intelligence. The students are expected to have a working knowledge in the fundamentals of the area. They will be able to apply these optimization techniques,  with the average coding skills, in their respective fields of research.

Prerequisites :

A working knowledge of Matlab,  a working knowledge in at least one another programming language, and a positive attitude in the face of hardships.
