Intelligent Systems

General

Educational goals

The course aims to develop a substancial understanding of computational intelligence methodologies with a focus on Evolutionary Computation and Fuzzy Systems. On completing the course, students should have achieved reasonable competence in these technologies. They should also be able to:

  • identify the reasons for proposing a problem solution based on a biological metaphor,
  • design and implement an evolutionary algorithm to solve a problem,
  • represent “vague” and “less” mathematical knowledge,
  • combine some of the traditional design approaches with fuzzy-logic concepts,
  • design and implement fuzzy-logic based systems and explore their unique characteristics,
  • idenfity limitations of, and suitable applications.

Course Contents

Evolutionary Computation:

  • Introduction,
  • Main paradigms of Evolutionary Computation, (Genetic Algorithms, Evolution Strategies, Evolutionary Programming, Genetic Programming).
  • Basic elements in implementing an evolutionary algorithm.
  • Mechanisms, operators, parameters.
  • Use in search, optimization and problem solving.
  • Demos and applications.

Fuzzy Systems:

  • Introduction,
  • fuzzy sets, operations, and relations,
  • fuzzy sets and rules,
  • Mamdani and TSK fuzzy rules and systems,
  • design and implementation of fuzzy systems.
