Title Machine Learning and Artificial Neural Networks
Description Durchgeführt von Sebastian Bahr and Martina Jakob

This course provides an introduction to machine learning with a focus on artificial neural networks. It combines a theoretical discussion of different model architectures with hands-on experience in Python using the Keras library. We will cover concepts such as training & testing, optimization, cross-validation, regularization, feature engineering, regression vs. classification, convolutional neural networks, and transfer learning. Based on applications in computer vision and natural language processing (NLP), we will learn how to apply deep learning models to different prediction tasks.


Prerequisites:
Mandatory lectures of the introduction year (Einführungsstudium) need to be successfully completed.
Intermediate Python knowledge (Programming II of Minor “Digitalization and Applied Data Science in Business, Economics and the Social Sciences” or equivalent) is mandatory.
High school level knowledge of linear algebra and derivatives is recommended.
Students need to bring their own device.
