Learning outcomes

Module: ALGORITMI AVANZATI
-------
The goal of this course is to introduce some advanced paradigms for algorithms development and analysis in order to determine good approximate solutions for hard optimization problems.

Module: COMPLESSITÀ
-------
The goal of this module is to introduce students to computational complexity theory in general, to the NP-completeness theory in detail and to computational analysis of problems with respect to their approximability.

Module: INTELLIGENZA ARTIFICIALE
-------
The class presents the main techniques for problem solving, based on the central paradigm of symbolic representation. The objective is to provide the students with the ability to design, apply and evaluate algorithms for difficult problems, meaning that their mechanical solution captures aspects of artificial intelligence or computational rationality.
