Single-Course Engelsk 5 ECTS

Intelligent systems

Overall Course Objectives

This course aims to provide participants with the fundamental competences required to conceive, design and implement intelligent and distributed control systems combining data-driven and knowledge-based techniques. The course work offers participants an application-oriented introduction to machine learning and declarative methods of artificial intelligence. Course participants will learn the theoretical aspect of intelligent systems with respect to use-cases and top level design to design.

See course description in Danish

Learning Objectives

  • Identify a real-world problem and propose an intelligent system that can be used to help with this problem.
  • Identify and discuss situation awareness, decision, and control tasks in an intelligent system and identify the hardware and/or software requirements.
  • Discuss whether machine learning methods are applicable for a proposed intelligent system, and (if relevant) propose a suitable machine learning algorithm/method and evaluate its effectiveness.
  • Work with a large data set, perform data exploration and feature extraction to derive knowledge from data in a real-world automation problem.
  • Explain structured knowledge representation techniques and related modeling principles, and select suitable knowledge representations for integration in an intelligent systems solution.
  • Describe suitable uses of logic-based methods applied to the solution of decision making problems in intelligent systems.
  • Explain and select appropriate methods as well as the corresponding data models and knowledge representations as part of a design problem.
  • Analyse an intelligent systems design problem, communicate the design idea, formulate specifications and test requirements.
  • Design operational prototype of an intelligent system using data-driven techniques applied to a distributed systems problem.
  • Write a project proposal for an intelligent system that is intended to solve a real-world problem and discuss how the functionality of the implementation can be tested and verified and how critical parts/elements can be identified.
  • Discuss the quality and availability of data for an intelligent system and how GDPR rules can affect the implementation or operation of an intelligent system.
  • Give appropriate feedback on a project proposal
