MMTE-007 Soft Computing and Its Applications (4 Credits)
“Soft Computing and its Applications” is a 4-credit course. This course involves theory component as well as practical component. In this course the three main components of soft computing, fuzzy logic, neural networks and genetic algorithms are discussed with applications. The prerequisite dependency for this course is “Probability and Statistics”, (MMT-008) which you would have studied during the second semester of the programme. This course comprises four blocks related to soft computing. It begins with fuzzy set, and fuzzy C-mean algorithm in Block 1. The next two blocks discuss neural network with its applications. In the last block, the course concludes with several genetic algorithms. The practical assignments are listed at the end of corresponding unit. You can find the course material here.
MMTP-001 Project
The programme has a four credit project to provide hands on experience. You can find all the details regarding the project in the project guide available here.
