Course Objective

In this course, the types of artificial intelligence optimization algorithms will be described in detail and experimental results will be held on samples for each type by writing computer programs.Also, assignments will be given that include the artificial intelligence optimization algorithms related to scientific problems that are encountered in practice and should be optimized. The aim of the course is to give knowledge about the literature of the artificial intelligence optimization algorithms and to give skills to bring effective solutions for the problems encountered while using this literature.
