The IEEE Malta Section, in collaboration with the Chamber of Engineers, is pleased to announce a short course under its Professional Development Program.
"Computational Intelligence: Natural Information Processing" developed by Leonid Perlovsky and sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society.
This course covers the rapidly evolving field of Computational Intelligence and focuses on the current understanding of the fundamental principles of working the mind, their computational implementations, and practical applications. This course covers mind mechanisms, including concepts, emotions, instincts, behavior, language, cognition, understanding, thinking, intuitions, conscious and unconscious, abilities for formation of symbols and aesthetic feelings. Computational techniques are given for these mechanisms and abilities.
The goal of this course is to provide a basic mathematical understanding of the working of the mind. Its secondary goal is to demonstrate practical applications of these mechanisms for pattern recognition, tracking, fusion, search engines, and for integrated systems combining sensor signals and communication data. Lastly, this course will outline future research directions. Historical and current difficulties in developing intelligent systems (IS) and applications will be discussed along with how the mind and new computational techniques overcome these difficulties. By the end of this course, learners will be familiar with several general applications addressed by IS, computational difficulties encountered over fifty years, and basic novel approaches to overcoming these difficulties.
After completing this course you should be able to develop an understanding of:
•Cognition
•Modeling Field Theory (MFT) of cognition
•Integration of cognition and language
•Cognitive algorithms for engineering applications
•Introduction to a theory of the mind
•Future research directions
The course will be held at the Chamber of Engineers premises in Gzira on Thursday 30th April at 18:00 and will have a duration of a little more than one hour. Refreshments will be served after the meeting.
IEEE Expert Now selects the best IEEE educational courses and tutorials from conferences and workshops around the world.
