Description

This unit is designed to introduce the Computational Intelligence (CI) techniques used for making machines intelligent. This field is more oriented to numerical techniques than symbolic techniques. They include neural networks, evolutionary computing and fuzzy logic systems.

Prerequisite Rule

Students must pass CSP1150

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Demonstrate the ability to apply computational intelligence techniques to a range of tasks normally considered to require computational intelligence.
  2. Describe the concept of computational intelligence and its associated techniques and algorithms.
  3. Identify appropriate intelligent system solutions for a range of computational intelligence tasks.

Unit Content

  1. Artificial life and simulations.
  2. Artificial neural networks.
  3. Evolutionary algorithms.
  4. Fuzzy systems.
  5. Hybrid systems.
  6. Rule-based systems.
  7. Swarm intelligence.

Learning Experience

ON-CAMPUS

Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU Blackboard.

ONLINE

Students will engage in learning experiences through ECU Blackboard as well as additional ECU learning technologies.

Additional Learning Experience Information

The unit will include two hours of lectures per week covering the content of the unit. In addition, there will be one hour of practical work per week in which students will either use packages demonstrating the use of the various techniques being covered or be preparing software that will be used in an investigation.

Assessment

Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005)

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.

Academic Misconduct

Edith Cowan University has firm rules governing academic misconduct and there are substantial penalties that can be applied to students who are found in breach of these rules. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to:

  • plagiarism;
  • unauthorised collaboration;
  • cheating in examinations;
  • theft of other students' work;

Additionally, any material submitted for assessment purposes must be work that has not been submitted previously, by any person, for any other unit at ECU or elsewhere.

The ECU rules and policies governing all academic activities, including misconduct, can be accessed through the ECU website.
