Abstract

The research project aims to investigate the use of data-driven Computational Intelligence (CI) techniques, particularly conventional neural networks, constructive neural networks, evolutionary algorithms and inductive logic programming for modelling, supervisionand control of anti-pneumococcal conjugate vaccine-related bioprocesses with the goal of introducing flexibility to the modelling and control of such processes.
