Course detail

Artifical Inteligence

FSI-RAI Acad. year: 2021/2022 Summer semester

The course introduces the essential approaches in artificial intelligence area, including the state space search methods, stochastic optimization and machine learning, in particular the artificial neural networks including the convolution neural networks. Usage of the methods is demonstrated on solving simple engineering problems using corresponding tools (Matlab, TensorFlow).

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Student will gain the overal knowledge in the area of artificial intelligence methods and will be capable of applying the appropriate methods in solving engineering problems.

Prerequisites

Vector and matrix calculations, algoritmization abilities, ability to implement given algorithm in Matlab and/or Python.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The subject is taught using a set of lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of given area. The practical part is focused on actual implementation of explained methods using appropriate tools, such as Matlab or Python.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The subject evaluation is based on the implementation of softttware project that uses selected method of artificial intelligence. The project final report has to be delivered including the source code and presented to the audience in the form of short presentation.

Language of instruction

Czech

Aims

Understanding of the basics of artificial intelligence approaches and ability to apply those in solving engineering tasks.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Lectures are optional, but are highly recommended. The practices are obligatory. The way the student can substitute its absence is up to the teacher.
