DESCRIPTION

Computational Intelligence (CI) is the theory, design, application and development of computational paradigms that are biologically and linguistically motivated. Traditionally, the three main pillars of IC have been neural networks, diffuse systems, and evolutionary computing. However, over time many computer paradigms inspired by nature have evolved. Therefore, IC is an evolving field, and today, in addition to the three main components, it encompasses computer paradigms such as environmental intelligence, artificial life, cultural learning, artificial endocrine networks, social reasoning and social networks artificial hormones.

CI plays an important role in the development of successful intelligent systems, including games and cognitive development systems. In recent years there has been an explosion in the deep learning research field, particularly deep convolutional neural networks. Today, deep learning has become the central method for artificial intelligence. In fact, some of the most successful Artificial Intelligence systems are based on Computational Intelligence.
