Prerequisites
Basics of statistics
Skills to be acquired in this module
After successful completion of the course, students should have acquired the ability to master the presented methods in theory and practice. The students should be able to recognize and model corresponding optimization and data analysis problems themselves and to apply the methods unerringly.

Professional competence
The students:
  • recognise optimisation problems
  • implement simple algorithms of heuristic optimisation
  • critically discuss solutions and selection of methods
  • deepen previous knowledge of analysis and linear algebra
Methodological competence
The students:
  • deepen programming skills
  • apply modelling skills
  • learn about the relation between problem class and method selection
Social competence
The students:
  • cooperatively implement content introduced in lecture
  • evaluate own solutions and compare them with those of their peers
Self-competence
The students:
  • evaluate own skills with reference to peers
  • realize personal limitations
  • adapt own problem solving approaches with reference to required method competences
Module contents
Computational Intelligence comprises intelligent and adaptive methods for optimisation and learning. The module "Computational Intelligence I" concentrates on methods for evolutionary optimisation and heuristic approaches. The exercises introduce and deepen practical aspects of the implementation and algorithmic design, also taking into account application aspects.
Overview of Content:
  • foundations of optimisation
  • genetic algorithms and evolution strategies
  • parameter control and self-adaptation
  • runtime analysis
  • swarm algorithms
  • constrained optimisation
  • multi-objective optimisation
  • meta-modeling
