Objectives of the Course
Document soft-computing methods in the analysis of multivariate and multi-parameter digital structures that should be interpreted with analytical models. This will cover artificial neural networks, fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic (fuzzy), genetic algorithms. Techniques or approaches that are not related to flexible calculations have been used to solve real problems. Artificial intelligence techniques used in hydraulic science in recent years will be evaluated.
