Roberto Amadini is associate professor in Computer Science at the University of Bologna since 2022. He received his Ph.D in Computer Science from the University of Bologna in 2015. He was research fellow at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Bologna, from 2015 to 2016, Research Fellow at Department of Computing and Information Systems, University of Melbourne, Australia, from 2016 to 2019, and Senior Researcher at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Bologna, from 2019 to 2022.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a discipline whose goal is to realize this dream through the use of a wide variety of techniques, from logic-based symbolic computation to sub-symbolic models inspired by the structure of the brain, such as neural networks. This course will provide an introductory overview of the various existing artificial intelligence techniques, focusing on industrial applications, discussing future challenges and opportunities, and also addressing some of the social, economic, and ethical implications.
Digital Marketing and CommunicationThe course will give some insights of Decision Support Systems from two orthogonal perspectives: an optimization-based approach, based on symbolic AI (1st part) and a data-driven approach, based on sub-symbolic AI (2nd part).
Upon completing the entire learning process, students should be able to:
• get an overall idea of what DSS are, and how to handle them from different perspectives
• identify decision problems addressable with a data-driven approach
• know the basics of modeling with constraints and MiniZinc
