Aim

The aim of the course is for the students to gain knowledge regarding human-machine interaction, in general, and intelligent (software) agents, in particular. Such systems are relevant in many different fields, such as driving assistance, health and elderly care, finance etc.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

After completing the course, the students should be able to
  • Implement (i C# .NET) and use various methods for image and video processing, speech synthesis, and speech recognition
  • Put together various components (e.g. image processing, speech synthesis, dialogue etc.) to generate a complete software agent.
  • Implement (in C# .NET) and use various advanced stochastic optimization methods in connection with intelligent agents
  • Describe and compare various different applications of intelligent agents

Content

  • Programming in C# .NET for intelligent agents (throughout the course)
  • Image processing
  • Speech synthesis
  • Speech and voice recognition
  • Human-machine dialogue
  • Applications (various)

Organisation

The course runs over one quarter and is organized as a series of lectures combined with project work. The projects are carried out individually by each student.

Literature

A compendium and a selection of scientific papers.

Examination including compulsory elements

The examination is based on a project (a report should be handed in before the end of the course).
