Abstract: The rapid development of CI research in recent years is a response to the evolution of machine intelligence in systems and to the acceleration in the use of learning and intelligent technologies in the conception and design of systems. This talk will provide an introduction to various CI technologies including evolutionary algorithms, neural networks, and fuzzy systems. Practical applications of computational intelligence in solving scientific optimization and machine learning problems, such as decision-making, control and classification, will also be highlighted.
