GeoComputation

Summary

The subject introduces basic approaches and methods of artificial intelligence, especially machine learning and focus on their utilization in geoinformatics, where it is necessary to evaluate spatial properties, to adapt spatial sampling, and perform appropriate data transformation. Classification methods such as Bayes classifiers, decision trees, support vector machines. Variants for regression analysis. Neural network, including advanced methods such as deep learning and convolution neural network. The further part demonstrates problems and methods of data mining, detection of patterns, sequences and association rule mining, basic techniques of text mining and clustering methods. Introduction to chaos theory and fractals, utlization in geoinformatics. Stochastic spatial simulations.
