Sistemas Inteligentes

Objectives

The course will present artificial intelligence techniques for extracting usefull knowledge from data. More specifically, the course will introduce in details concepts such as Optimization and machine Learning and it will focus on stochastic heuristic methods like, among the others, Genetic Algorithms, Particle Swarm Optimization and Neural Networks.

Teaching method

Classes are partitioned into theoetical classes and practical classes.
Theoretical classes will be held using the board and slides.
In the practical classes students will implement the algorithms presented in the theoretical classes.
