Course overview and goals
An intelligent system is a system that carries out human intellectual tasks such as data analysis and decision-making on our behalf. In this lecture, we will discuss the elemental technologies required for designing intelligent systems. Furthermore, through the implementation of these elemental technologies, we will aim to understand the design methodology of intelligent systems.
Course description and aims
By taking this course, students will be able to acquire the following skills.
(1) Acquire basic theories and knowledge related to intelligent systems.
(2) Understand the main technologies of intelligent systems and be able to apply them to real-world problems.
(3) Acquire the ability to design, construct, and utilize intelligent systems in solving engineering problems.
Keywords
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, knowledge graphs
Competencies
- Specialist skills
- Intercultural skills
