ECTS	6

Students gain knowledge about advanced principles and techniques of computational (artificial) intelligence.

Understanding advanced principles and techniques of computational intelligence and the ability to apply them in solving different types of problems.

Supervised Learning and Imitation. Training intelligent agents with deep reinforcement learning (deep Q-learning, policy gradients, A3C, etc.). Model-Based Reinforcement Learning. Advanced topics in natural language processing (information extraction, topic modeling, etc.). Advanced topics in recommender systems (content-based, collaborative filtering, discovering latent dependencies, etc.). Advanced topics in graph analysis (clustering, classification, mining interesting patterns). Advanced topics in semi-supervised learning.

Teaching methods include lectures, laboratory classes, homework assignments, and consultations. Lectures involve presenting the course materials using the necessary didactic tools while encouraging the students to participate actively. Laboratory classes (exercises) are realized through assignments that can be done independently or with the help of teaching assistants, as well as through homework assignments.
