- 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
None. The competences taught in the following modules are recommended: Object-oriented Programming, either Algorithms and Data Structures or Practical Informatics II: Data Structures and Algorithms for Pre-Service-Teachers, System Software and Computer Communication.
