Welcome to the course TIES451 Selected Topics in Soft Computing!

TIES451 Selected Topics in Soft Computing course has emphasis on learning
and implementing metaheuristics to solve optimization
problems. The course introduces various optimization methods and
theoretical foundations as well as different real applications.

Evolutionary computation is an essential component of soft computing. These
algorithms draw inspiration from nature's problem-solving tools and
evolution in specific. In this course, we shall take a journey through
different aspects of evolutionary computation and explore different
important algorithms proposed by various researchers worldwide.
Evolutionary computation is widely used for both search and optimization.
In particular, it is utilized to solve optimization problems (single and
multi-objective) when no explicit gradient information is available. This
course lays the foundation for more advanced study in evolutionary
computation and its applications in optimization of large-scale industrial
optimization problems, designing AI for games, robotics, etc.

The Multi-objective Optimization Group responsible for the course is
world-renown in the field. Upon completion of the course, students will
have a grasp of the basics of evolutionary algorithms. They can identify
areas where the evolutionary algorithms can be applied and successfully use
them to solve problems arising in industry and research. The
prerequisites: proficiency
in programming in any language and some very basic mathematics.

The first lecture is on Monday, October 25, 2021 starting at 12.15. In the
first lecture, general information related to the course is discussed,
including details of how to pass the course. The course will be given in
English. It includes lectures, discussion sessions, and programming
assignments. Attendance of lectures and discussion sessions is required.

please, register by the end of next week!

Also, don't forget to complete the pre-course assignment before the first
lecture. It will be very useful for you to start getting involved in the
topic!
