COMP8420: Bio-inspired Computing: Applications and Interfaces: 2009

Please note:

The slides are now on Wattle along with the lecture recordings!

I will be moving the other content to Wattle soon also, so there isn't so many places course stuff is scattered.

Will use the Fri 11-12 time for a lecture, and have an interactive lab Fri 4-6 and leave Matlab for next week

Locations

• Lectures in N101, CS&IT building
• Labs in N112, CS&IT building
• Tutes in N101/N112 as confirmed later

Course contents

• Neural networks
• Fuzzy systems
• Evolutionary algorithms

Experience required

• No prior experience required

Please note changed dates due to timetable clashes!
