Artificial Intelligence Solutions in Electrical Engineering

Catalog description

This course is an introduction to artificial intelligence based problem solving techniques. Students will learn basic concepts and principles of artificial intelligence based computation and optimization techniques. They will develop skills on how to model real-life engineering problems so that artificial intelligence based solutions can be applied. This course includes implementation of several projects mimicking real-life engineering problems such as drone control, speech recognition and optimized task distribution. The emphasis on the projects will not be programming AI algorithms, but instead, re-use of existing programs as required by projects. Typical projects will include topology control for autonomous drones, speech and character recognition, natural language processing, applications of travelling salesman and knapsack problems, optimal task selection for engineering projects and maximizing profits in algorithmic stock trading.
