Project in 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 practical aspect of intelligent systems with respect to use-cases and top level design to design.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify and discuss situation awareness, decision, and control tasks in an intelligent systems problem.
  • Apply machine learning methods to data modeling problems in intelligent systems and evaluate their 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 and declarative 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, implement and evaluate an operational prototype of an intelligent system using data-driven and declarative programming techniques applied to a distributed systems problem.

Course Content

Introduction to intelligent systems problems, task analysis, systems development approaches & architecture elements; applications of intelligent systems in automation, Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Grid / Energy problems.
Distributed systems basics: concurrency, communication, and debugging.
Structured knowledge representation (e.g. ontologies) and applications to declarative and logic-based programming methods (e.g. rule-based logic, graph-search, … ).
Handling large data sets; data visualization; applied statistical learning methods. Quality of data-driven models.
