Description:
The course deals with the model-based specification of software systems and components as well as their verification, validation and quality assurance. The emphasis is on view-based specification methods that use multiple views, expressed in multiple languages, to describe orthogonal aspects of software systems/components. Key examples include structural views represented using class diagrams, operational views expressed using constraint languages and behavioural views expressed using state diagrams. An important focus of the course is the use of these views to define tests and extra-functional properties.

Description:
Enterprise software development revolves around complex and interdependent software products for different companies, lines of business and industries. Hence, there is an inherent trade-off between standard software and domain-specific software solutions. Software companies thus have to keep track of various heterogeneous and possibly conflicting market requirements that are subject to changes and updates in ever shorter release cycles.
However, it is essential for every enterprise software company to be able to build the right solutions efficiently. To be able to do so in the long run, large software companies elaborated good practices to ensure both, efficient development processes and innovative products.
Among these, lean thinking and agile software development practices combined with Design Thinking and related practices are increasingly adopted and intertwined in the software industry. So, the goal of this module is to convey both, approaches from research and industry experience together with practical application based on concrete enterprise software challenges. The course includes both, lecture and workshop formats.

A combination with IS 613 as related term project is highly recommended.

Description:
Media and communication sciences deal with processes of human communication, from face-to-face conversation to mass media outlets such as television broadcasting. Communication studies also examines how messages are interpreted through the political, cultural, economic and social dimensions of their contexts. Analyzing media content is an important research method in this context.
 
In the course of this seminar, participants will learn basic methods and techniques for carrying out analyses of media in different modalities (text, still images, video, audio) as a basis for answering research questions in media and communication science and investigate inhowfar these methods can be automated using state of the art techniques from Artificial Intelligence, in particular image and video processing and natural language understanding.

Description:
In the digital age, techniques to automatically process textual content have become ubiquitous. Given the breakneck speed at which people produce and consume textual content online – e.g., on micro-blogging and other collaborative Web platforms like wikis, forums, etc. – there is an ever-increasing need for systems that automatically understand human language, answer natural language questions, translate text, and so on. This class will provide a complete introduction to state-of-the-art principles and methods of Natural Language Processing (NLP). The main focus will be on statistical techniques, and their application to a wide variety of problems. This is because statistics and NLP are nowadays highly intertwined, since many NLP problems can be formulated as problems of statistical inference, and statistical methods, in turn, represent de-facto the standard way  to solve many, if not the majority, of NLP problems. Covered topics will include:
 
  • Words
    • Language Modeling
    • Part-Of-Speech Tagging
  • Syntax
    • Statistical Parsing
  • Semantics and pragmatics
    • Computational Lexical Semantics
    • Computational Discourse
  • Applications
    • Topic Modeling
    • Information Extraction
    • Question Answering and Summarization
    • Statistical Alignment and Machine Translation
Coursework will include homework assignments and a final exam. Homework assignments are meant to introduce the students to the problems that will be covered in the final exam at the end of the course.

Description:
This course will start with basic knowledge of real analysis, includes measure and integration, then we will go into some advanced topics in analysis, such as L^p spaces, distributions, the Fourier transform, Sobolev spaces and related inequalities. These are necessary knowledge in modern PDE theories and their applications (for example, in physics, biology and economy).
