Goals of the course: The students will achieve working knowledge and hands on experience with the modern methods of the fast growing field of artificial intelligence.

The module will cover the following topics:

  • What does the Deep-Learning-revolution mean for science and industry?
  • Which methods of machine learning exist and their relative pros and cons?
  • For which user cases is the application of these methods useful?
  • How do I build and train a neural network for a given problem?
  • Different types of neural networks (CNN, RNN, …)
  • Generative modelling (AE, VAE, GAN, …)
  • Healthy scepticism: evaluation of performance and accuracy.
  • Discussion on ethics and privacy of data.
