Artificial Intelligence and Algorithms - Specialization
Specialization: Artificial Intelligence and Algorithms
The naive algorithm often suffices for solving small scale problems, but in many real-life settings advanced algorithms and logic-based artificial intelligence are needed for robust, efficient and intelligent software. A simple search engine can easily index the contents of a drive on a personal computer but indexing the web is much more difficult. Similarly a robot can plan its actions optimally by an exhaustive state space search only if the number of possible actions and states is very limited. Software developers must be able to work with intrinsically hard problems and large, complicated data collections.
The student must follow the requirements in the general curriculum for the programme such that at least 25 ECTS points are obtained among the following courses:
| 02249 | Computationally Hard Problems | 7.5 | point | Autumn E3A (Tues 8-12) |
| 02256 | Automated Reasoning | 5 | point | Spring F1B (Thurs 13-17) |
| 02282 | Algorithms for Massive Data Sets | 7.5 | point | Spring F1A (Mon 8-12) |
| 02285 | Artificial Intelligence and Multi-Agent Systems | 7.5 | point | Spring F4A (Tues 13-17) |
| 02287 | Logical Theories for Uncertainty and Learning | 5 | point | Autumn E2B (Thurs 8-12) |
| 02289 | Algorithmic Techniques for Modern Data Models | 5 | point | Autumn E4B (Fri 8-12) |
| 02291 | System Integration | 5 | point | Spring F5A (Wed 8-12) |
The terminated course 02221 Foundations of Distributed Systems (5 ECTS) also counts on the specialization.
Specializations are merely recommended ways of choosing the courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specialization but to the programme and it is possible to choose among all the courses in the curriculum following the directions given. However, if a specialization has been fulfilled the title of the specialization may be added to the diploma.
