The aim of the course is teach students to use methods of artificial intelligence and mathematical optimization in practical problems. Students should learn to:

  • describe a given problem using mathematical tools,
  • obtain real testing data from publicly available sources or generate realistic data,
  • choose an appropriate artificial intelligence and mathematical optimization tool for a given problem,
  • analyze results of simulations,
  • write a report describing the studied problem, methodology and results.
