Contents

Data bionics means the transfer of algorithms for data processing from nature. Examples are artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms.

  • Introduction to the well-known theories of nature-analogous information processing
  • Connectionist Models
  • Evolutionary and Genetic Algorithms
  • Swarm Intelligence & Artificial Life
  • Ant Colony Optimization & Particle Swarm Optimization

Qualification Goals

The students shall

  • learn common databionic methods,
  • learn the possibilities and limits of nature-analogous information processing,
  • be able to design a solution using data-bionic methods based on a concrete problem,
  • practice scientific working methods (recognizing, formulating, solving problems, training the ability to abstract),
  • practice oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience.

Prerequisites

Translation is missing. Here is the German original:

Keine. Empfohlen werden die Kompetenzen, die in den Basismodulen der Informatik vermittelt werden.


Applicability

The module can be attended at FB12 in study program(s)

  • B.Sc. Computer Science
  • M.Sc. Data Science
  • M.Sc. Computer Science
  • M.Sc. Mathematics
  • M.Sc. Business Informatics
  • M.Sc. Business Mathematics
