Abstract
This course covers the rapidly evolving field of Computational Intelligence and focuses on the current understanding of the fundamental principles of working the mind, their computational implementations, and practical applications. This tutorial covers mind mechanisms, including concepts, emotions, instincts, behavior, language, cognition, understanding, thinking, intuitions, conscious and unconscious, abilities for formation of symbols and aesthetic feelings. Computational techniques are given for these mechanisms and abilities. The goal of this tutorial is to provide a basic mathematical understanding of the working of the mind. Its secondary goal is to demonstrate practical applications of these mechanisms for pattern recognition, tracking, fusion, search engines, and for integrated systems combining sensor signals and communication data. Lastly, this tutorial will outline future research directions. Historical and current difficulties in developing intelligent systems (IS) and applications will be discussed along with how the mind and new computational techniques overcome these difficulties.
