    The goal Objective of the course is for the students to become able to design neural networks, fuzzy systems and genetic algorithms with the final aim to implement them in process control, signal processing and pattern recognition problems.
    The outcome Students will obtain the skills to choose the adequate soft-computing technique, define necessary a priori knowledge, generate or acquire corresponding algorithm training set, make a fine tuning of controlling parameters, design an algorithm and evaluate it, depending on the problem at hand.
