Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
1) Active participation in the exercises, i.e. processing of at least 4 of the 5 thematic tasks in the individual exercises (1. FL Excel, 2. FL MATLAB, 3. NN, 4. GA, 5. theory of chaos).
2) At least 5 points from the written semester project (max. 10 points). The scope of the project will be about 8 - 12 pages with an individual focus of the student on practical problems leading to the solution using fuzzy logic theory, artificial neural networks or genetic algorithms. Details of the project will be presented at the first exercise and the work must be submitted by the end of the 10th semester week.
The exam is classified according to ECTS. It is in written form of closed questions with a score of 0-20 points. A: 20-19; B: 18-17; C: 16-15; D: 14-13; E: 12-10; F: 9-0.
Course curriculum
2. Artificial neural networks (ANN): To be familiar with the basic notions in the area of artificial neural networks, presentation of the notation perceptron, multilayer neural network and their parameters. The applications cover investment decision making, estimations of the price of products, real properties, evaluation of value of client, etc.
3. Genetic algorithms (GA): To be familiar with the principles of genetics, the analogy between nature and math description that enables the solution of decision making of problems. The use in the area of optimization of wide spectrum of problems is mentioned - the optimization of investment strategy, production control, cutting plans, curve fitting, the solution of traveling salesman, cluster analyses, etc.
4. Chaos theory (CH): The theory deals with the possibilities of better description of economic phenomena than the classical methods do. The notion chaos, order and fractal are clarified, the use of this theory to determinate the level of chaos of measured and watched system is mentioned
5. The use of mentioned theories in datamining, prediction, production control, risk management and decision making.
