STE6246-002 Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Agents - 5 stp

The course is administrated by

Institutt for datateknologi og beregningsorienterte ingeniørfag

Type of course

The course may be taken as a single subject.

Course contents

¿ The students will have an introduction in time series and regressions supporting predictions based on historic data. ARMA techniques will be addressed.

¿ Preprocessing techniques like PCA will be practiced ¿ Practical use of cluster techniques, Support Vector Machines and Classification and Regression trees (CART) will be exercised

¿ The course will explore in depth a selection of neural networks such as LSTM and CNN.

¿ The students will be introduced to MAS systems and theoretical concepts associated with these i.e. ontologies, ACL, architectures, game theory and MAS-learning
