COS513: Computational Intelligent Systems (CS, Foundations)

This course provides a global overview of Computational Intelligence Systems, and their applications in understanding various aspects of cognition and the operation of the mind. The study of the brain from the computer scientists’ perspective will be emphasized by providing an in depth analysis of the methodology and basic concepts on how to model cognition and how to develop intelligent computer systems that try to mimic the way a human brain works. The theoretical framework of Computational Intelligence algorithms and techniques such as Artificial Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms and Fuzzy logic will be covered together with hands on experience in the development and implementation of Computational Intelligence Systems.
