learning outcomes

At the end of the course, students get acquainted with the fundamental issues of intelligent systems, the most relevant computational models and technologies, and the most effective methods. In particular, students become familiar with the fittest solutions, languages, technologies, architectures, and methodologies to design intelligent systems, and are capable of:

  • devising the problems requiring artificial intelligence techniques for their solution;
  • determining the most proper conceptual and methodological approaches;
  • selecting and integrating the fittest technologies for implementing the solutions detected.
