| Objective | The aim of this course is to introduce artificial neural networks and discuss the basic ideas behind machine learning; present the concept of perceptron as a simple computing element and consider the perceptron learning rule; to introduce recurrent neural networks; explore Hebbian and competitive learning. Moreover, hybrid intelligent systems as a combination of different intelligent technologies will be introduced and evolutionary neural networks and fuzzy evolutionary systems will be discussed. |
