Instructor(s):
Prof. Dr. Colin Atkinson
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.

Given the vastness and richness of the Web, users need high-performing, scalable and efficient methods to access its wealth of information and satisfy their information needs. As such, being able to search and effectively retrieve relevant pieces of information from large text collections is a crucial task for the majority (if practically not all) of Web applications. In this course we will explore a variety of basic and advanced techniques for text-based information retrieval and Web search. Covered topics will include:
 
  • Efficient text indexing;
  • Boolean and vector space retrieval models;
  • Evaluation of retrieval systems;
  • Probabilistic Information Retrieval;
  • Text classification and clustering;
  • Web search, crawling and link-based algorithms.

Coursework will include homework assignments, a term project 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. In addition, students are expected to successfully complete a term project in teams of 2–4 people. The projects will focus on a variety of IR problems covered in class. Project deliverables include both software (i.e., code and documentation) and a short report explaining the work performed and its evaluation.

Weiterhin können sie Techniken und Protokolle einsetzen, um Sicherheitsziele zu erreichen, die mit den in Kryptographie I besprochenen Verfahren noch nicht möglich waren.
Personale Kompetenz:
Das analytische, konzentrierte und präzise Denken der Studierenden wird geschult. Durch die eigenständige Behandlung von Anwendungen, z.B. im Rahmen der Übungsaufgaben, wird ihr Abstraktionsvermögen weiterentwickelt und der Transfer des erlernten Stoffes auf verwandte Fragestellungen gefördert.

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:
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.

Given the vastness and richness of the Web, users need high-performing, scalable and efficient methods to access its wealth of information and satisfy their information needs. As such, being able to search and effectively retrieve relevant pieces of information from large text collections is a crucial task for the majority (if practically not all) of Web applications. In this course we will explore a variety of basic and advanced techniques for text-based information retrieval and Web search. Covered topics will include:
 
  • Efficient text indexing;
  • Boolean and vector space retrieval models;
  • Evaluation of retrieval systems;
  • Probabilistic Information Retrieval;
  • Text classification and clustering;
  • Web search, crawling and link-based algorithms.

Coursework will include homework assignments, a term project 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. In addition, students are expected to successfully complete a term project in teams of 2–4 people. The projects will focus on a variety of IR problems covered in class. Project deliverables include both software (i.e., code and documentation) and a short report explaining the work performed and its evaluation.

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.
