DESCRIPTION

The aim of this unit is to acquaint students with intelligent systems and provide them with a working knowledge for building these systems. The unit is intended for engineering students from all disciplines. The unit gives an introduction to expert systems, knowledge representation, dealing with uncertainty and expert system tools. Students are given a comprehensive background in building rule-based expert systems. The unit also presents fuzzy set theory, considers how to build fuzzy systems and illustrates the theory through examples. And finally the unit gives an introduction to artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms, and considers hybrid intelligent systems, knowledge engineering and data mining.

Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.

Campus - H Hobart, L Launceston, W Burnie. Study Centre - V Sydney, R Rozelle, P Beauty Point. Distance units may also have a campus identifier of I Isolated, N Interstate, O Overseas. Units delivered in Transnational Education (TNE) Programs have a campus identifier of A Hangzhou, F Fuzhou, G Shanghai, K KDU Malaysia, Q Kuwait or Y Hong Kong.

Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units - campuses A, F, G, K, Q and Y click here for more information.
