Bio-Inspired Artificial Intelligence

The main focus of the course is to study intelligent systems inspired by the natural world, in particular biology. Several algorithms and methods are discussed, including evolutionary algorithms. Bio-inspired intelligent systems have thousands of useful applications in fields as diverse as computer science, operations research, machine learning, telecommunications, cybernetics, games, music and art.

This course discusses both the theory and practice of bio-inspired artificial intelligence, along with providing some of the basis and inspiration for the different approaches within bio-inspired artificial intelligence.

Knowledge: The course will give the candidate a general introduction to concepts, methods and algorithms within bio-inspired artificial intelligence.

Skills: The candidate will be able to apply bio-AI methods and algorithms on concrete problems.

General competence: Through theoretical studies and programming projects the candidate shall understand and apply bio-inspired artificial intelligence, and develop a foundation for the application of bio-inspired artificial intelligence to real-world problems.
