Class 3. P: C programming; graduate standing or permission of
instructor.˜˜Basic concepts in theory and paradigms for neural
networks, evolutionary computation, and fuzzy logic; algorithms and
applications for hybrids of these tools known as computational
intelligence are explored. Topics include artificial neural networks,
fuzzy systems, and evolutionary computation. Implementations of a
number of paradigms are presented, including particle swarm
optimization. Applications to various areas such as biomedical
engineering and non-linear control are examined.
