Machine learning and reasoning with built environment data (5 ECTS)

Objective

The student can identify and explain the basic concepts of validating data and deriving new data from existing data through data analysis, machine learning, machine inference, rule-based systems, and artificial intelligence in general. The student understands the benefits and prerequisites of the technologies and the potential use scenarios in construction domain. The student knows and can apply a set of tools for data validation and data derivation for data in construction domain. The student can programmatically integrate these technologies to broader software solutions in the construction domain.
