Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The aim of the course is for students to learn modern intelligent methods of biological data processing, which are applicable both in the field of modeling biological systems and knowledge extraction based on biological signals and images. The course is composed of two related parts that deal with both modeling of selected biological systems and machine learning methods for biological information content recognition. Graduates of the course will be able to apply their knowledge of cybernetics and machine learning to the variable cases of modeling and knowledge extraction in biomedical engineering.
