Organization

Lecturer:Prof. Dr. Rainer Gemulla, Daniel Ruffinelli
Type of course: Lecture, exercises, assignments (6 ECTS points)
Prerequisites: IE 675 Machine Learning or equivalent
Registration: enroll in ILIAS

Lecture (Thursday) starts in the first week, tutorial (Tuesday) in the second week. Lecture notes, exercises, assignments, and supplementary material can be found in ILIAS.

Content

Machine learning is concerned with building computer systems that improve with experience as well as the study of learning processes, including the design of algorithms that are able to make predictions or extract knowledge from data. This course builds upon IE 675 Machine Learning and introduces advanced algorithms, concepts, and theoretical principles. The course also focuses on selected “hot topics” and their applications. Tentative topics include:

Deep learning (models, applications, training methods, libraries)
Graph and relational learning
Probababilistic models
AutoML
Active learning
