Objectives
This course aims to offer a foundation of intelligent system techniques and their application in various real-world domains and how to implement a system with "intelligent" functionality. You will also learn to judge when intelligent functionality and artificial intelligence may be a good solution for a problem and be able to choose suitable AI methods and techniques. You will also acquire knowledge enabling you to acquire necessary skills to design and implement an intelligent system.
Learning outcomes
After finishing this course a student will be able to:
- Formulate a relevant practical problem and identify the key issue to solve the problem
- Find suitable AI techniques/algorithms to solve the problem and justify why they are selected for problem solving
- Design and implement a mini-prototype, analyze the results, as well as suggest possible ways for improvements
- Write a brief report summarizing the underlying problem, approach and results
Course content
Intelligent agents, fuzzy control, fuzzy adaptive control, multi-sensor data and information fusion, decision analysis with uncertainty, case-based reasoning and signal analysis.
Tuition
Lectures and project.
Specific requirements
At least 90 ECTS credits in computer science and/or electronics where at least 15 ECTS credits in programming are included. In addition Swedish course B/Swedish course 2 and English course A/English course 5 are required. For courses given entirely in English exemption is made from the requirement in Swedish course B/Swedish course 2.
Examination
Project (PRO1), 3,5 credits, marks 3, 4 or 5
Examination (TEN1), 4 credits, marks 3, 4 or 5
A student who has a certificate from MDU regarding a disability has the opportunity to submit a request for supportive measures during written examinations or other forms of examination, in accordance with the Rules and Regulations for Examinations at First-cycle and Second-cycle Level at Mälardalen University (2020/1655). It is the examiner who takes decisions on any supportive measures, based on what kind of certificate is issued, and in that case which measures are to be applied.
Suspicions of attempting to deceive in examinations (cheating) are reported to the Vice-Chancellor, in accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance, and are examined by the University’s Disciplinary Board. If the Disciplinary Board considers the student to be guilty of a disciplinary offence, the Board will take a decision on disciplinary action, which will be a warning or suspension.
