Pointcarré:
Objectives:
- The student is able to participatie actively in a scientific debate.
- Student receives an overview of a variety of topics in artificial intelligence
Description:
This course is given together with the IRIDIA Lab at the ULB. Different (international) guest lecturers with an expertise in AI will give a talk about their current work in AI.
Examples from the previous years are: The New Science of Networks, Evolutionary Robotics, Neurorobotics, Complex Systems, Bio-Inspiration and Morphogenetic Engineering, Supervised Pattern Set Mining, Data-driven approaches to natural language processing, Computational models of the evolution of speech and language, Big data Bioinformatics.
Examination:
- Attendance in the lectures is obliged (friday afternoon). Each absence needs to be e-mailed beforehand.
- 60% of the grades come from a programming assignment about one of the lectures.
- The other 40% come from an oral exam about the lectures.
