| Educational objectives | The aim of this course is to acquire the main concepts of Computational Intelligence and the ability of applying them to various problems in Artificial Intelligence |
| Prerequisites | All knowledge required is covered by the undergraduate degree in Computer Science |
| Teaching methods | Theoretical frontal lessons Solutions of problems and cases study with the use of computers |
| Learning verification modality | The exam comprises two tests 1) a project to be developed as an individual homework. The purpose of this test is to check the ability to employ the knowledge acquired in the course 2) an oral test, where the student should present her/his project and discuss some theoretical topics seen in the course. The purpose of this test is to ascertain the knowledge level, understanding capabilities and communication skills acquired by the student. Students who do not speak Italian can do the exam in French or English. |
