Introductory course in artificial intelligence (BI-ZUM). The course covers essential concepts necessary for further study of artificial intelligence. Suitable for undergraduate students.

The course covers the following topics among others:

• search space, uninformed/informed search, heuristic search
• planning, satisfiability, constraint satisfaction
• neural networks, evolutionary computing
• multi-agent systems, games, data mining

The course is provided in Czech and English language and is accompanied by a seminar. Attandants can chose one of several seminars taught in Czech. One seminar is provided in English.

Advanced course in neural networks and related topics (PI-NSV). The course focuses on selected topics in neural networks and computational intelligence. There are no regular lectures for this course. Students consult their progess with the supervisor several times per semester instead. The course is suitable for doctoral students.

The following topics are covered by the course:

• neural network architectures
• classification and approximation by neural networks
• advanced gradient methods and evolutionary algorithms
• machine learning, deep neural networks, deep learning
