Course detail
Computational Intelligence
FSI-9VIN Acad. year: 2025/2026 Both semester
Computational Intelligence covers a set of nature-inspired computational methodologies and approaches to address complex real-world problems to which mathematical or traditional modeling can be useless. The course introduces basic approaches and advance methods used in the field. Practical use of the methods is demonstrated on solving simple engineering problems. Students will be given time to practice of own optimization tasks.

Entry knowledge
The knowledge of basic relations of the optimization and statistics.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Submitting and defence the project which present/uses implementation of selected CI method.
The attendance at lectures is recommended. Education runs according to individual schedules. The form of compensation of missed seminars is fully in the competence of the tutor.
Aims
To give students knowledge of Computational Intelligence fundamentals, i.e. of fundamentals of nature-inspired approaches to solving hard real-world problems. Namely of fundamentals for solving of optimization problems, mathematical models and classification. The various evolutionary algorithms, optimization metaheuristics and artificial neural networks will be presented.
Understanding of basic methods of Computational Intelligence and ability of their implementation.
