Center of Excellence in Computational Intelligence
Computational Intelligence is the ability of a computer to learn a specific task from data or experimental observation. Generally, computational intelligence is a set of nature-inspired computational methodologies and approaches to address complex real-world problems to which mathematical or traditional modeling can be useless for a few reasons: the processes might be too complex for mathematical reasoning, it might contain some uncertainties during the process, or the process might simply be stochastic in nature.
- OBJECTIVES
- To encourage Research Publications, Patents/IPR and Funded Projects
- Collaborate with R&D organizations to acquire and disseminate knowledge among stakeholders
