What is computational intelligence (CI)?
Quite interesting definition: "The art of creating machines that perform functions that require intelligence when performed by people” (Kurzweil, 1990)".
How to check (measure) the intelligence? E.g.: Turing Test 
Required CI features:
- ability to learn and self adaptation to changing conditions;
- acceptance of incomplete and inconsistent data;
- creativity (eg. developing rules or conclusions).
Has the Turing test been passed? Read this: 
We will focus on the "weak" CI (or Artificial Intelligence) attitude, i.e:
"creating machines (algorithms) that show only a narrow aspect of intelligence (playing chess, recognizing images, creating textual summaries etc.)".
Main topics of the course:
- Searching and search methods;
- Genetic and Evolutionary Algorithms;
- Artificial Neural Networks (including convolutional NNs);
- Fuzzy sets and fuzzy systems;
- Computational Swarm Intelligence
