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.

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 3.
